I agree. The thought was unveiling the 2012 too soon would cut into 2011 sales thus wait until the last minute. It does sound like it will be independent of an auto show.

I don't think you are going to see any significant body changes for the 2012 models.

I really hope the 2012 Wrangler stays the same now that there are a lot of aftermarket parts for it. I remember searching all over for anything, wheels, bumpers etc in late 2006/early 2007 and there was nothing that would fit the JKs.

The 2012 is going to make all of you happy, don't worry. Whether it's your first Jeep or last it's going to be awesome.

i wish there WAS a body change, as in a window angle change. gets tiresome driving for 3 mins in a bug area and having your window plastered. and having to wash your window every day just to see out of it.

although.. my Mopar hood deflector helped a little bit. and it especially helped with hood flutter BEFORE i got Daystars.

If I missed this question in earlier posts I apologize;
Is there any word on a less bend-prone front axle housing for the 2012's? Perhaps the front housing from the J8?

Default Diesel for the 2013 Grand Cherokee

I haven't been following jeep until more recently (started to get the jeep bug) but if they do put a diesel in the 2013 Grand Cherokee is Jeep likely to put one in the 2013 Wrangler? Just curious what your thoughts may be, since I don't really know what they have done in the past.

Thanks!

kind of funny.. i been the biggest supporter of the Pentastar for a while.. but theres a very good chance im buying a 2007 Sahara this weekend, exactly like the one i used to have. too good a deal to pass up. They're selling for middle KBB trade or even lower. This purchase would allow me to keep my 2010 GTI also, and have both vehicles. Then, I can monitor the new Jeep engines for the first year and take my time making a decision.
