#35 of 139 Diesel by abraxas23 Jun 30, 2006 (11:13 am)
Since this is off the Libery platform does anyone know if the CRD is going to ever be an option? I have only heard good things about the diesel. Replies to this message: indianrefining (Jul 05, 2006 4:27 am)
#36 of 139 An Adult Nitro SRT by jimc16 Jul 04, 2006 (8:23 am)
Wouldn't it be nice if they came out with an adult version of the Nitro SRT, possibly under the Chrysler brand. It would have the same general look outside as the Nitro, but a more refined interior, tan leather and wood. The ride would be better without sacrificing much in handling (18" wheels with 20's as an option for those that want them). As long as we are wishing, reduce the weight by 200-300 pounds, and an IRS would be nice. Replies to this message: aljodoro (Jul 19, 2006 12:24 pm)
#37 of 139 Release date? by grutza Jul 05, 2006 (4:22 am)
Does anyone have any information on when the Nitro is expected to be released?   Also has anyone noticed that the build and price feature has been removed from the website. Replies to this message: indianrefining (Jul 05, 2006 4:28 am) carz3 (Sep 09, 2006 10:16 am)

Replying to: abraxas23 (Jun 30, 2006 11:13 am) The CRD currently offered in the Liberty (built by VM Motori in Italy) is being discontinued in 2007 as it can not meet the new U.S. emissions standards. (Durn shame since it is one running little booger.) The 2007 Grand Cherokee is going to be available with a Mercedes diesel, so I'd imagine that the 2008 Liberty and (maybe) 2008 Nitro will follow suit.

Replying to: grutza (Jul 05, 2006 4:22 am) I think that they've already announced that it should hit showrooms in October.

Replying to: jimc16 (Jul 04, 2006 8:23 am) I agree about the adult aspect. Make the 4 liter available with an adult interior, 18 wheels, driver adjustable suspension and six speeds automatic. By adult interior I would be happy with leather, quality materials and no embroidery of the model name on the seat. Why car manufacturers need to embroider the name or model on the seat is beyond me. It must be paying homage to trailer designers.   The 18” wheels are much more practical wheels (actually 16” are even more practical for all around use). The adjustable suspension would appeal to varying use. The six speeds would be wonderful if first was low and could be locked out for normal driving. and sixth gear was an overdrive. Keep the rear end at 3.73 and above. Don’t care about the dealer. IRS would be wonderful but that may be asking for to much. Finally while I am at it lets just get rid of the strut suspension. Come to think of it why not just bring back the Cherokee or the XJ with the new four liter and bigger brakes. Maybe stretch them 4 inches or more depending on the model
#41 of 139 I agree, please offer a leater interior by tropnevad Jul 25, 2006 (7:09 pm)
I really like the Nitro however it is underpowered and I would need the R/T version. I was shocked when I saw how ugly the seats were. Dodge, if you you're reading this offer leather and your sales will improve. I would be embarrassed to have anyone ride in those red R/T seats.

Replying to: tropnevad (Jul 25, 2006 7:09 pm) tropnevad -   I'm not going to pronounce the Nitro with the 3.7 engine "underpowered" until I've driven one. According to everything which I've read, they've done quite a bit of "tweaking" on this engine which will hopefully give it more power than the version currently offered in the Jeep Liberty.   As to the red-insert seats, I was thinking that those were only in the "concept" version of the SRT. Either way, I'm sure that "normal-looking" leather seats would be an option.
