The Jeep Grand Cherokee helped popularize SUVs with posher, more car-like interiors when it was introduced in 1992. Now it's dated, and the current model, introduced for the 1999 model year, is overdue for a replacement. Production of the next generation is due in the first quarter of 2010. Chrysler announced June 30 it was dropping a second shift at the plant that builds the Grand Cherokee, probably until startup for the next generation.
