When it comes right down to it, the question any prospective SUV owner needs to make is, "Do I want to look like I can go anywhere or do I really want to go anywhere?" If you want to look like you can go anywhere almost any new car-based sport utility vehicle will do. If you want to go anywhere while still maintaining a high degree of creature comforts and convenience, the Jeep Grand Cherokee is in a class of few.
