DO you mind sharing where you are getting 6% below invoice? I am shopping around for a good deal on an order right now.

How is the ride compared to your old Audi? I am assuming you got the V8 with SR

I can compare it to my recently departed '17 Q7. The V8 feels always as quick as the turbo 6 that was in the Q7. Not quite there, but close, but much louder with the V8.

Overall handling of the SR V8 isn't even close to the Q7. The Q7 drove much closer to a sports car, where this is much more twitchy. It seems to do a good job eating up the bumps, but the steering just has a completely different feel. This drives much closer to my wife's recently departed Acadia Denali (we put her in a GW III) than to my Q7.

Seats were softer/cushier, and also more grippy in the corners on the Q7, where these are a bit firmer and feels like you slide in them a bit more in turns. The massaging is better in the GC than the Q7.

Audio was better in the Q7 (I paid the $5k premium for the B&O setup), but overall tech is MUCH better in the GC, granted it's a five year difference and next generation of stuff. The HUD is better and shows more in the GC, and while the Q7 had something similar to the lane assist that the GC had, in the Audi it could only be active below 45 (meant for bumper to bumper traffic).

There is a definite downgrade in handling, but overall, I'm VERY pleased with the GC.

Trading in a Volvo XC60 for a '22 Grand Cherokee 2-row. Torn between the Overland and Summit models, and can't seem to find concrete info on a couple of differences.
- Does the Overland have air vents in the B-Pillars? Or is that unique to the Summit and the "L" models?
- Is the Mcintosh 950 the same system and features in all models? It is described differently on the website, with no mention of Active Noise Control when adding it to an Overland.

Planning on adding the 10" UConnect, Pro Tech package (for the Heads Up Display) and Luxury package (for the 4-zone AC, window shades, and wireless charger) if I went with the Overland, but that takes me right up to Summit pricing. Not really sure what else I'm "missing out on" by not stepping up. I don't love the look of the quilted interior, and would basically like a Summit with the Overland interior.

Any advice is welcome.
