Hahaha "Highs: Off-road ability"

"Consumer Reports performs off-road testing at its Connecticut proving grounds, but off-road ability doesn't factor into the final scores."

Hm...so its best attribute is its ability off-road and they don't count that...ITS RIGGED!

WAIT! WAIT! WAIT! These things come with available trophy wife as an option???? Is this only for Unlimited's or Rubicon's? I might have to look into an aftermarket trophy wife then. (Wait I think its called internet mail order brides....)

Screw 'em. I love my Jeep and if they are too stupid to understand it, that's their problem.

Don't really understand what you're saying here.
I would consider the XJ sport an on-road vehicle, as you see many on the highway's driven by young and old alike.
I can tell you after trading the wifes 99XJ for a JK unlimited, she's estatic.
The handling of the JK is far superior. More stable, better braking, better turning radius, more room, and by far, better looking.
Irregardless of what Consumer Report says, DC manufactured a winner with the JK Unlimited.
