He's probably talking about the announcement of the 2008 Jeep Liberty.

Announcement and showing for the 08 Liberty is to take place at the New York Auto Show, which starts on April 6th. So most likely the 4th is press day. If that's what Marlon is talking about.
If not, maybe that's the day he's going to get some wicked good grub.

Agreed. \:D/ I really don't care for them, but I'm like that with a lot of new cars, and eventually, a lot of them grow on me.

But still, today I drove ML350 for a while and at the end of the day I sat in my jeep, it was like AAHHHHHH. It is like Venus and Mars.. two different planets, and I think nobody could make comparison between them.

An ML350........if that's the one i'm thinking of, you could buy 4 KJ's for the price of it, so it should be 4 times better.

No believe me, it's got it's pluses, and a lot of them, especially comfort, but as soon as my ass found its place on my kj's driver seat, I felt home. It feels like I am together with the KJ, I am driving it. ML feels like it drives you..

I can agree with that. It sounds weird, but I sometimes have a hard time getting comfortable in luxury car interiors. It just feels too uptight and I guess professional to me. Oh, and I love not having climate control.
