I confess I went to look at new cherokees.

That's good to hear, I really like the new 200, have really warmed up to the new Cherokee Trailhawk to the point I would happily park one of each next to my XJ and existing 200, even kinda dig the little Renegade and Dart, even though they're a little small for me.

Here's an article I found on Yahoo a few weeks back.

This was posted on the 200 owner's forum I'm on about these transmissions and modern ones in general.

Just an update- Meanwhile, still loving my 15 Dart. FCA is doing a great job on some cars, a terrible job on others.

The Dart is basically an Alfa Giulietta which is a great platform

Has anybody watched the latest Dirt Every Day with a Renegade Trailhawk yet?

Yup. Good to see Fred out pushing it as hard as possible but not purposefully trying to break it. It's definitely capable.

Little up date we don't have the 9 speed but we've already had electronic shifter junk replaced once because it wouldn't go into park and it's getting finicky again. There's a TSB for it but no recall.
