No Wrangler refresh until 2015
Sorry if this is old news, but I just read this article about Chrysler's plans for a Jeep pickup, and the CEO said it won't be happening until the Wrangler is refreshed in 2015. That's quite a wait!

I have a feeling the next generation of Jeeps aren't going to look so "jeep" They will probably follow suit with Landrover. If you haven't seen their new lineup they have gone a complete new direction

Chrysler CEO has made a few comments about the Wrangler heritage, just recently I saw a new clip that says building a wrangler any were but USA wouldn't be right, nor will it happen. Toledo is the birth place.
I do think the bones of the wrangler can't stray too far from were we are today, doing so would kill the icon and legendary vehical Chrysler says's is their flagship vehical in the brand.
Long live the Wrangler...

I doubt they will stray too far with the design of the Wrangler. The shape is an American classic, the trademark grille, round headlights and fender shape. It may get smoothed out a little bit and a tad more windshield rake, but I don't see it looking like the Land Rovers, that's what the Grand Cherokee, Patriot, Liberty are for. They would kill a lot of sales if they alter the classic shape too much.
