Default JK V8 coming?
Was puttsing around the other day on jeep.ca looking for specs and came across this...
Website glitch or perhaps an option coming soon, hidden in the site script?
Or maybe just wishful thinking

the specs are the same as the 3.6. I'm thinking a mishap on their part....

Probably wishful thinking. I wish they would do it too, before I wear out my current Wrangler.

I would foresee them having to make a change in the complete chassis to keep the "Crush Zones" in the correct locations for there to ever be a chance at a V8. So maybe in the next model (Post-JK)?

It would be hard to market a motor with a 8/10 average MPG.

I haven't seen anyone get 8-10 mpg after a VW swap. It usually always gets better
