The Best Cars for 2011

Jeep Grand Cherokee
Having been around for 70 years, Jeeps are a part of American culture, and the newest version of the Grand Cherokee should be able to satisfy customers who like the brand's rugged heritage for several more years. The Chrysler Group has made the 2011 Grand Cherokee more refined on the inside, more fuel-efficient (with a V6 engine that gets 16 m.p.g. in the city and 23 m.p.g. on the highway) and more comfortable overall. The suspension has been completely reworked to make the Grand Cherokee steadier and less harsh on the highway. But the four-wheel-drive version retains the ability to go off-road in places where most SUVs get stuck. Starting price is $30,000.
