You are so right. People get so uptight over such small stuff. Some people will whine and complain about powered mirrors or steering wheel radio controls, but love the powered seats! You know, some people can't be please with whatever is done. If they didn't make any changes, people would complain that Jeep is sitting on a great product and not making it more innovative!

If they were to add a volt meter and an oil pressure gauge, I'd see it as a step forward. For everything else, I withold my judgement til I see it.

I don't care what luxuries they add to the Wrangler, just get rid of the 2wd model. Even a stripped down Sport with crank windows doesn't deserve to be called a Wrangler if there's no transfer case.

And someone mentioned IFS; that would hurt the off-road capability. IFS will be the end of the Wrangler, no matter what other bells and whistles are added.

I doubt it. Lets face it, most people buying a Wrangler are driving it on the street. Even more so with the 4DR and now all these bells and whistles being added has brought in a whole new crowd.

They would love a better ride Im sure. Jeep could also use higher A-arms like the FJ to give the Wrangler more travel with IFS.

WTF?, it's like 2005 all over again except JK drivers instead of TJ drivers.

They won't get rid of the Solid Front. It wouldn't be a Wrangler if they did, and why do we always have to compare it to the Fake Jeep that toyoda is getting rid of anyway? Eh, Hellbound?



I know I know you don't have to say it again, toyoda isn't getting rid of the monstrosity, and you know you can trust what toyoda says right???

Because Im not a snob and can appreciate other vehicles as well that share the same sport?

Your right though, it must be a conspiracy from Toyota.

People said Toyota said no 2009's and there were, then people said Toyota said no 2010s and here they are again. All along Toyota has maintained there are no plans to discontinue.

Toyota just added another production line for the Australian market this year so Im sure they plan to kill it for 2011 after going through the trouble of retooling the plant and putting in a motor with more torque for 2010.

Anyways we are off topic now. Back to the heated seats and espresso maker that will be in the new 2011 Wrangler..

Me a snob?? no no no, I don't hate any car company other than toyoda. (hate might be too strong a word, I just feel better when toyoda's aren't around). Just a pet peeve about toyoda and not trusting them or the veh's they build.

But you do throw the FJ in there a lot. do you work for them?

By the way, aren't the 2010 Fridge Junks really '09's rebadged?

You know they really should be sold in high end appliance isles, along eith the 4 blunder matching stove look.

DON'T HATE!!!

You have a problem trusting vehicle companies so you bought a vehicle from a company that almost went bankrupt and voids warranties if you so much as add an extra cup holder?

I LOVE my Jeep, but as far as Chrysler, come on..really?
