Hopefully the designers will step up and produce something still resembling past and current models.
The Next-Gen "Wrangler" should include:
PS: An easy to use front folding window would be a plus (maybe not the whole window frame but just a subframe/front flat glass than can be lowered to the hood)
PSS: Permanent Death Wobble Fix
The Next-Gen "Wrangler" should include:
Solid Front/Rear Axle
Transfer Case with 4 Lo, 4 Hi, 2 Hi
Open Air Top and Side (Not a hard body with removable windows/moon roofs)
Removable doors
Mod Friendly (Lifts, Bumpers, Winches, 35-37" capable Tires)
Take away these characteristics, you might as well name the Next-Gen "Neutered Strangler".Transfer Case with 4 Lo, 4 Hi, 2 Hi

Better Designed Track Bar, Drag Link Ends, Tie Rod Ends

Part of me can't help but think that if they butcher the next gen Wrangler then I'm sitting pretty with 2 JK Rubicons. Very happy with both and not really itching to replace either.

It's crossed my mind to tear all the stuff off my 2012 and go put it on a brand new 2015/2016. Maybe I can hang on to it for the next 10 years until we get a shot at the next (next) gen.

Newbie prospective, after all this talk of no more removable doors or no soft top I'm glad I got my 15 when I did. Absolutely love it. Came with hard top for winter and I found a soft top for summer. I may not 4 wheel a lot but I can't imagine not being able to go topless and door less. That's the whole point of owning the Jeep Wrangler. FREEDOM BABY

I'd like to think that since I have a 13 and 09, but there is a lot of grocery getter Rubicon models that will be discarded by moms for the next new family hauler. You'll be seeing those JKs that have never seen dirt on the trails for the next 20 years. Not a bad thing mind you.

I went through this crap with The Bronco. Ford is dead to me. That is why I get annoyed by there infomercials on this site.
