Hmmm, then al of the auto mags must be wrong. they all have been
reporting that for several months now. Every one that mentions it says
the new Grand Cherokee and the new M-class will be on the same
platform. In my opinion I couldn't really care since the Grand Cherokee
is a poorly designed product.. My father and his friend both own '02
limiteds and they are always in the shop for something. To me it would
make sense to share the platforms since it would cut costs but who
knows.
