This is a Rendering of What the JL Jeep Wrangler Might Look Like

Surely that can't be true. Not even Jeep is brand-loyal enough to itself to remain unchanged on the outside for a 20 year stretch. Each version of the Wrangler becomes iconic in its own right. Yes, even the YJ. But c'mon. Sergio's got to have the balls to evolve a little. With all the mpg changes, aluminum body panels and talk about a turbo 4-cylinder, surely the body style will change somewhat. Even the TJ looks A LOT like the JK but its not. I honestly don't think that would be a smart move on their part at all.

If you look at the CJ->YJ->TJ, the biggest changes were in the grill and front fenders. The rear body and panels most casual observers wouldn't even be able to tell the difference (because for the most part there was none). I am OK with them keeping the same smooth vertical panels. They define the Wrangler from everything on the road. Gear like the external hinges are iconic, but the door handles, mirrors, and fenders have all changed throughout.
A couple of the spy photos show the front fenders getting signal lights and restyled mirrors but for the most part are not that far of a departure from the JK.

Stories I read and heard, the windshield maybe sloped back more for aerodynamics. Which then would lead you to believe it would not able to lay down. Another one is it will be a solid hard top option, meaning it will be all one piece like SUV. Safety and fuel requirements come into play very heavily. Gotta make the CARB standards and the fuel standards as a company. The dodge stealth went away to make room for the Durango. Could not make the fuel standard making both, will sell more SUV with a bigger profit margin. It is all about hitting the marks and making the money.

I will be completely and utterly shocked if the top is not removable.
