I just bought a 2001 Jeep Grand Cherokee which is one of the last years to have the bulletproof AMC/Jeep straight six and old-fashioned solid axles. This is the last generation of luxury SUV to feature solid axles, which are important to true off-roaders.
To help tame the nature of a solid axle vehicle on the road, supposedly Porsche engineering stiffened the chassis and worked on the steering. I read this in Wikipedia, and like most things I read there, am suspicious that it's true. Is there a list floating around of vehicles that Porsche has done engineering consulting on?
