to the OP,

i work at a chry dealer and drive alot of the newer GC's that you are looking to buy. what i will say is that, its alot differint to drive and may take some time to get used too. for me i come from driving an 2001 XJ sport. going from my jeep to a brand new 2012 GC, yeah its a lot differint, but over time i have got used to driving them arown the shop.

the 3.6l is a VERY! good motor. VERY fast. high reving motor. youll be 60 mph at 7k rpms in a jiffy.

as for the gas pedal thing, i understand what your talking about. there is a little bit of it. but for me i got used to it.. but deff go to your chry dealer and take a LONG test drive in one.

Thanx for this post, it sounds like you know what "problem" I'm referring to. And even if the 2012 GC does have a bit of a lag, I might just decide to buy one anyways because I've fallen in love with the car.

I want one in gold metallic, which pretty rare my dealer says, they dont even stock one on their lot

Bought it yesterday, and will pick it up tomorrow. Paid $42,700 for it plus HST tax.



A little advice, you can save a few thousand dollars if you take a drive out to dealerships that are located in rural areas. I live in Toronto and bought this car in London Ontario
