What will kill the Jeep is Obama and his EPA - the new corporate average fuel economy requirements may cause Chrysler abandon the Jeep unless they can get it over 25MPG average.

Anything is possible, but unless the feds change something CAFE means "Corporate Average Fuel Economy". They make up for Jeeps that get 20 MPG with by selling econo-boxes that get 45 MPG.

I don't see Jeep going anywhere...

Jeep is one of the more profitable brands of the group, and the Wrangler is a hot seller. Don't fix what ain't broke... Minimal changes would be best concentrating on improving the drivetrain.

Agreed. The latest Defender concept is a completely new direction for the model.

Those wheels and tires are just what most of the mall crawling Rover owners like.

Me, not so much.

Damn him for being concerned about fuel standards and the environment. I love how Obama is going to kill the wrangler. C'mon, the wrangler isn't going anywhere.

With the poor quality composents of the JK, I'm affraid to see the new (urban) version of the Wrangler around 2017

I wouldn't be surprised to see IFS on the Sport and Sahara models

Just give us a diesel option in the US... Fuel economy problem solved.

I agree. I'm interested to see what they do to make the Wrangler more aerodynamic. It seems like a very un-Jeep thing to do, but they have to sell vehicles I suppose. I hope they don't mess with the design too much.
