If the jeep is like the regular hellcat wait for year two. They are doubling production the second year so the hellcats will become much less rare and should command less of a premium at that point.

I agree... rumors are that its a one-year production run. But who the heck knows what to believe.

If it sells and there is demand they will run it another year. Count on that.

The Hellcat Jeep would be cool....but, its still just a jeep Cherokee, doesn't really "do it" for me.

The C7 has plenty of power along with so many other factors, easy choice for me
I agree with *****, I've had four Jeeps, they are still Jeeps. Different models of corvettes are never the same, especially the C7, IMO.

IMHO...I've been a Chrysler fan for a pretty fair amount of time. Starting with a 65 Dodge Polara, 71 Charger...etc. Love the look of the Challenger, and if it were a 'vert model there'd be one in the garage. That being said, even though the hellcat Cherokee would be fun, I don't think it's worth the differential in price. Kind of like the SRT-10 pickups. You have your fun car, and really who cares if you have the fastest mommy missile on the block. An RT or SRT would still be plenty quick.
