Yeah, they have been saying it for a long time. And being that you see so few of them on the road, I can't believe they didn't pull the plug years ago..

Same here in NC man. Not sure why they'd discontinue a vehicle with the top resale value.

The factory doesn't make squat on resale of a used vehicle. They'll jump on the crossover unibody bandwagon like everyone else.

i red that the 2015 jk was going to have aluminum hood, doors to cut down on the weight and direct injection as long as the low sulfer gasoline bill gets passed. then turbo might be an option.

I hope they don't change it for a while too... I wish that Wrangler could just have one tried/true/perfected style... like a Mercedes G-Wagon...that thing's barely changed since the 80's and there is a higher demand than ever
