Wonder what the difference from 4 to 5 is and what caused it to get the 4. Will have to read more when not @ work.

I too am a bit disappointed. above is the details from their website on the star ratings.
Iam disappointed also , man .

Its not hard to get 5 stars from http://www.safercar.gov/ , Wait untill IIHS.org gets a hold of it there crash test have higher standers .

ie
Wifes old 2006 Grand Cherokee had 5 stars(highest rating) side impact from safercar.gov

Even WITHOUT side airbags!

IIHS.org gave it the 2nd LOWEST rating it has even WITH side air bags .
