Add in those new comfortable armrests, and you get a really comfortable ride with the 2008 Jeep Grand Cherokee.

With the MyGIG infotainment system which has a hard drive memory of 20GB, you can plug in your MP3 players and drive to the sound of your favorite songs. The car maker even disclosed that with such a high amount of memory, you can store up to a high of 1600 songs with the MyGIG infotainment system.
