Hellcat-powered Grand Cherokee on the way

DETROIT -- For months, Fiat Chrysler executives accidentally have been saying "Track-hawk" when they meant to say "Trailhawk" -- the off-road-ready versions of some Jeeps -- before correcting themselves.
We may now know why. At the Detroit auto show last week, Jeep brand head Mike Manley revealed that the off-road brand will put a 6.2-liter, supercharged, Hellcat engine into a Jeep Grand Cherokee "before the end of 2017." Manley made his declaration during an interview with journalist and racing driver Brian Makse. "Trackhawk" is a name that would fit that vehicle nicely. Jeep isn't saying whether the name will be used, but it did trademark the name "TRACKHAWK" in July 2014 -- along with "TRACK HAWK" -- about the same time Dodge rolled out its Hellcat-powered Challengers and Chargers.
