I think.


That is correct. Except it was a VMI (Italian) engine. 2.8L
turbodiesel. It is still offered in parts of Europe, but only in the
US (not California) in 2005 and 2006. An excellent package.

Jeep has just released a Mercedes-built 3.0L V6 turbodiesel in the
Grand Cherokee. Overall it is an *outstanding* vehicle, IMO.
