^^ This. Got one for my 78-year-old Dad when they came out. Granted, he's hard on a truck. But it's just been a series of little things since Day One. I would love to say otherwise, but it just reinforces every stereotype of poor American automotive build quality.

So, its "much better built" but still crapy...
I drove one and felt a world of difference compared to the 2008/9 G.Cherokee
But its too big for the wify and possible facelift next year...

Yes, the vehicle itself is much better vehicle, but reliability and chrysler still don't go too well together. Although in my personal experience with jeeps I have not ever had a problem. Within your price range and options I think it's the best choice you have.

Hani, personally i love the new jeeps.
I had an '10 GC and the the new WK2 is just so much better, i had zero issues with the '10 so like every other choice its your luck of the draw.. and the only reason i dont have the new GC is coz i like trucks more (that and the new SRT8 is overpriced imo).
But if you do decide on the GC, i'd recommend the limited, besides the saddle interior i dont see any reason to pay almost 4k more for the overland (sure it has many added options which IMO are not needed, but thats personal preference after all)
also 2 of my friends who own the WK2 are very happy with their purchase (both limited's).
btw if you liked the FJ, did you consider the 2012 wrangler unlimited? new engine (major weakpoint of the old JK), new interior and some other bits.. big improvement over the last gen IMO.

Yes they are common... which did you have in mind?
Not a fan of the Hyundais
I do like the Nissan Armada but it is on the big side...

I wouldn't personally consider it.. I wouldn't buy a Jeep or Chrysler (having already owned both).. Did you consider the Cadillac SRX? I test drove the new ones and they are pretty slick..
If not German, go for a Sequoia
