Default fabric top liberty comming in 2008

It is an open air liberty, sharing the same motor as the JK.

The loberty by design, will be less capable, but will have less drive train reistance, and possibly better torque to weight ratio.

I hope it will spur Chrysler to release a better low end torque JK motor.

The link doesn't work because it's set up to recognize a "stolen image" - but if you dissect the http: address and go to the root site, you can navigate to the article. This is interesting, but I've got to question what kind of demand there will be for a "kinder softer" Wrangler wannabe... I mean, if you want a four-door, soft-top vehicle, why in the world would you go with the Liberty over the Wrangler... just seems like they'd be cannabalizing their own product's sales...

I think that the Wrangler will always be a "real Jeep" and, to many, this is not what they want, especially in the styling department. They like something more street oriented and a larger, Nitro-based Liberty will give them that.
