Hopefully the designers will step up and produce something still resembling past and current models.

The Next-Gen "Wrangler" should include:
Take away these characteristics, you might as well name the Next-Gen "Neutered Strangler".

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[/INDENT]

 

The folding windshield is said to be gone..I'm guessing half doors are toast too. Whether the doors are removable or not remains to be seen.

 

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.

 

I did that in July. Replace my 2 door sport with a bad heater problem for a new 2015 Unlimited Rubicon in Hydro Blue. SOoooo happy.

 

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.

 

When those grocery getters see the new Wrangler getting close to 30 mpg they'll probably start jumping ship as soon as the new model comes out.

 

The next, next gen Wrangler may be something like a Renegade. 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.
