I'll surely get a new one whatever it may be like for 16. -Christopher
It actually makes for more room for cargo. It's built to withstand the weight of cargo. Do some quick research; there's a whole video from Alpine on the audio system. I regularly fill the cargo area of my JKUR for trips without issue or noticeable change in the stereo as a result of covering up the sub.

Default Range Rover, the New Americon Icon

I just read an article in Reuters, where Sergio Marchionne said, " Whenever I see a Range Rover, it makes my blood boil, we can do this, and should do this" He is refering to the luxury end of SUVs, what does this mean for the future of the American Icon, Wrangler ?
Marchionne has met with both Tim Cook ( Apple) and Elon Musk ( Tesla) , which was the focal point of the Reuters article. Partnership ? Sale ?
I'm sure glad I got my 2015 2dr, base ( only options 3:73s, hardtop, A/C ).
Looks like change is coming. Have to say, I would love an Electric Wrangler, if it looks like my JK, or a TJ .

Sergio wants those Land Rover profits per vehicle. If it meant sacrificing the utility Jeep (Wrangler) capability as a true off road vehicle so what? The Grand Cherokee is essentially the previous generation Mercedes ML under the skin. Fiat has yet to bring their parts bin engineers full faith & credit to beat on Heep.

OK, so the Grand Cherokee can take the Fop Wagon title, and leave the Wrangler as a utility icon, as it is.
Works for me.

I'm glad I got my 2015 also. I may like the new one but I most likely will not.

When do they typically stop production on the current year and start on a new year?

Page 301 of your owner's manual:

Display Fuel Saver — If Equipped
The “ECO” message is located in the compass / outside
temperature / audio information / ECO display. If
Display Fuel Saver is selected as ON, only the ECO
message will display in the audio information / ECO line
of the display. If Display Fuel Saver is selected as OFF,
only the audio information will display in the audio
information / ECO line of the display when the audio
system is on. To make your selection, press and release
the SELECT button until “ON” or “OFF” appears.

I agree, the ECO display was really annoying and kinda useless. I use my Chevy Volt to save gas too, the Jeep is for convertible fun, off roading, and when the snow and ice comes down.
