CR8 is hot, new, in style, very powerful, easily track worthy and cheaper but made in australia...and the dealers are now Liberty Autos in Dubai who are probably the best and most friendly in the country .. i say this from my experience as i used to be with a rent a car company and we had a lot of chevy's in our fleet.. the parts are very cheap comparatively and the maintenance is almost none in the warranty period
the SRT is an SUV made for the road and will probably never taken to the desert for the suv fun but is true american muscle.....but the dealers are Trading ent. (Al Futtaim) and my experience with their after sales people is absolutely gloomy as they are not at all friendly...

on a second note Arabian Auto is the best in terms of service & after sales support and their cars are the best comparatively

Liberty is a good dealer just to give you a more narrow choice in choosing the car... Why not get a chevy pickup.. Those are nice also and you cud take off the road.....

I have 2 other SUVs to go offroading in. I just need something to daily drive and have just a lil fun whenever the mood strikes. It will probably never see the track, but who knows..that's what I said when I had my supra and Z06 back in US. :$

I will be visiting Liberty tomorrow :)

if ur good on manual trans then u only have the cr8 option srt8 only comes in auto.
drive both and test which u like it will make things easier.
personaly i think srt8 is simply rugged looking and sounds much better than cr8 stock! if ur not going to mod them heavy then go for jeep

Any particular reason why you're interested in an American gas guzzling V8? You could buy a Jap at that price y'know.
