Nissan never sold them in the US. You can make them legal here but it's quite expensive.

Congratulations on doing your part to conserve the world's resources.

They should allow drilling the Arctic Wildlife Refuge just to support your garage.

Heh, we got a whole other garage in the back.

I really respect you because you have so many cars.

...
Now off you scamper.

God, what the hell is wrong with you. All I said was what cars I have, this is what this topic is about. I'm sorry I don't have a high post count as yours, and I obviously don't have the coolness to irritate a noob. So, can you please leave me alone? Thank's.

I have an '87 Camry, stick shift.

My dad has an '05 Land Cruiser, '03 Volvo S-80
My mom has a '98 Carolla
My stepmom's workcar (the volvo is really her's) '02 Crown Vic

It's definately not standard. I've converted it to parallel turbos, and an upgraded front mounted intercooler. I've also fitted an Apexi Power FC remappable ECU, and a RE-Amemiya air filter. Once I have an HKS AIC installed, I'll be looking to run it at approx. 400bhp, which will give me a 0-62 time of 3.6 seconds. The standard thing is 276 bhp @ 6800 rpm, does 0-60 in 4.3. So, the standard car is not slow to start off with, I've just made it better.

This thing + Mods + NSL (No Speed Limits) =

If only someone cared how much money you wasted on your car.

That's a very nice car you have there ReSpawn. I just hope you don't have more enthusiasm than skill.

To be honest, I'm fairly sensible on the roads. The real fun is in the track days at Brands Hatch and Silverstone.

Dad-Hummer H2, Chevrolet truck, can't remember the name, Jeep Wrangler.
Mum-Jeep Cherokee (Liberty to Americans) and a Chrysler Crossfire.

Me-Nothing, too young .

Wait, so they discontinued the Cherokee here, replaced it with the Liberty, then sent the Liberty over to Europe badged as a Cherokee? Hmm. Interesting.

They probably did that because Cherokee would be considered politically incorrect, and Liberty is a nice patriotic name instead. Also, new Wranglers are shit, gotta keep it old school with Jeeps, like mine.

And from what I've heard, the American Wild West is fairly popular in Europe, so that would make Cherokee a more appealing name over there.

Jeep still makes the Cherokee. I found an advertisement in Car & Driver for the SRT-8 Version of it.

No, they definitely discontinued the Cherokee. Are you sure it wasn't a Grand Cherokee?

You're right Jellybones, the Cherokee has been discontinued in the states. The ad MachChunk3 saw was for the Grand Cherokee.
