The latest issue of Overland Journal raves about their long-term test JKU. And just yesterday Newsweek published their list of best value vehicles, and 2012 Wrangler was on it--primarily because of the redesigned interior (in 2011) and the Pentastar engine. As more folks choose these, the reputation of the Wrangler will move beyond rock crawling to include overlanding/expedition travel and I think you'll see marketing move there was as well. JMHO, of course.
