I know a lot of folks here like the H2 Hummer, as do I. But I am really liking the new Jeep concept car, the Rescue.

Sounds like it'll have the power and the drivetrain. I'd consider getting rid of the 01 burb w the 8.1 for that dude. Then I'd have an all jeep family....
It's about time they joined the other manufacturers with a full size offering. And it is nice it has the Cummins.

Looks to me like it'll be heavier duty than the H2...for towing and stuff like that.

The neat thing is that Chrysler has shown a willingness to make concept vehicles production vehicles. Of course, it won't have the CTD and the big wheels, but otherwise it looks production ready. I could see it the the 5.7hemi as a replacement for the Grand Cherokee.

I don't think it is a replacement for the Grand Cherokee. The GC is more in the mid size class like the Envoy, trailblazer or Explorer. The Rescue is on a par with the Burb, expedition/Excursion, Hummer.
I think it is intended as an augment to the line, equivelant to one of the other large SUVs, a product that jeep has not tried to compete with before.
