Default Nice JK article on MSN now....

http://editorial.autos.msn.com/lista...1075373&page=2

Jeep Wrangler
The Jeep Wrangler has its priorities straight — the folding soft-top is standard equipment. The iconic Jeep is the only SUV available with a roof that can be folded down or even removed completely (as can the doors) to offer a panoramic, elbows-in-the-wind view of the countryside. All Wrangler models are capable off-road rigs, but opt for the Wrangler Rubicon ($29,565) and you'll get 10.2 inches of ground clearance, 32-inch BF Goodrich off-road tires, rock rails to protect the sills, and an upgraded driveline with locking front and rear differentials. A super-low 4:1 low range that helps the Wrangler crawl over the most challenging trail obstacles, even the boulders of its namesake Rubicon Trail, the notorious off-road route through California's Sierra Nevada. The 3.8-liter V6 engine delivers good torque and 19 mpg on the highway. The Jeep is almost unstoppable off-road and gives its owner a rugged image around town. Leave it muddy, so everyone knows you've been on an adventure. Starts at $21,460.

Yes, thank goodness for a review that respects the Jeep for what it is and doesn't lament the rough ride or fuel economy or noise at highway speed etc.
