Why even make a comment then? It's only going to piss people off. How are you able to get info from where you are about the U.S. market changes?

It's a new six door. Jku-u.

What it may do is help those who would wait to see what the changes are and not rush in and buy a 2014. Once they get the news they can still buy a 2014 and it will properly be cheaper.

Mr Snowden rang me with the update news please don't ring the NSA

If the 2015 is an update, this thread assumes it will be "better." We do not know if it will be different and even if we find out there will be differences, they may or may not be for the good. Sure, a new transmission sounds great but you won't find me buying the first year of a new transmission. Car companies these days increasingly rush products to market and rely on customers for beta testing and software "fixes" and "updates."

Just saying the current wrangler is a good product and there is value in buying a known and vetted model.

I think there is a chance that the new 8.4" head unit could be added as an option to the wrangler sometime before the JK model dies. This is simply speculation based on the fact that in my parents new 2014 grand Cherokee, the option to select your vehicle as the wrangler JK is programmed in on the unit. I don't know why they'd bother to do this if it wasn't a possibility it could be added to the wrangler at some point.



Again, this is solely speculation. Just thought it was weird to have as an option in the navigation system when the system is not currently offered on the wrangler.

2015 & 2016 looks to be the JK to own as the biggest worry about the new 2017 may have independent suspension.

What I've seen of the so called new independent suspension on other 4x4's like the new Cherokee is the advantage of any of the 4 wheels can drive and the adding of rear diff locks as standard, but this is where it all falls over due to hardly any suspension travel. Just try and cross a rocky river or climbing up over a high ledge with all the extra suspension parts hanging down and no suspension travel.

a month with no new rumors?

Companies changed direction when a car model was selling good, the VW Beetle is one such example.
VW could get another 50 years out of an updated Beetle: move the engine to the front, add water cooling and modernize the shape a bit -- but they dropped the Beetle and came up with the Golf.
The Subaru engines are based on the VW horizontal engine to this very day...

I have info from a VERY solid source that the 15 is brand new from the tires up. We shall see

Tooadvanced

Well its already been confirmed that 2017 is the year and we will see them arriving second quarter 2016. Sooooooo not to solid of source. Friends that work at jeep did say that it's 80% eco diesel going in and probably see it last year of jk to worm bugs out. If so that means late next year as a 2016 model may see it 🙌
