Default Return of the Islander

Caught this in the Toledo Blade along with the plans for a diesel in late 2010.

Personally I think it looks like a boy's version of a Barbie Jeep, but reading the rest of the article it mentions the re-registration of the Renegade as well. Then further mentions of a 2011 diesel entry and new interior in 2010. Lastly also other limited editions such as the Polar, Desert and Urban editions are mentioned.

I think it's newsworthy with the renewed focus on the Wrangler in the Jeep line up. Sure some of it's lots of candy ass fluff, but it does us all good for Chrysler to have success with this platform.

Should it have a picture of Ken?

Desert? I guess the Sahara must have grown a few blades of grass.

Urban? Please no factory Dubs and Bling

I know that Chrysler needs to sell what ever they can and we all benefit from increasing Jeep sales, but I hope that Sergio allows the designers and engineers at Jeep to keep a little bit of their dignity.

Wait so instead of bringing us a Willy's edition JK or the J8 edition they are giving us the JK fruity edition? Well at least you will have something to drive to go get your mani/pedi with.
