Default 2010 jk hemi ?

I just received this months JP mag and they said that International is Buying jeep and they are going to put a diesel in 2010 wranglers but not in the rubicon but you can get A hemi in one. They are also offering rubi's in the grand cherokee...as well. I read the whole articule seemed to be legit. I'll be waiting for 2010 model for sure.

i just got my issue of JP mag too. But they have tendency to do a April Fools joke in each april issue. I'm loving the idea of International taking Jeep but I'm afraid it may be another Jp April Fool's...

Lets hope not.

There is no way it's true. I've been watching the auto industry closely lately, Jeep is still in Chrysler's cold dead hands.

you can get the diesel in a regular jk like an X or Sahara but not their top-end Wrangler the RUBICON???...WOOHOO that makes all the sense in the world for an April Fools prank ...

We'd wait to get my wife's Rubi in 2010 if they did a diesel or hemi possibly (not a hemi fanboy) but hey it's better than the 3.8 I reckon

Hell, the version I read said that they were going to come right to my driveway and swap out the 3.8 for a huge diesel in mine too because I had bought an 09...

I tend to agree...BUT when you do a search, there are several different sources. Not what I would call strong ones, but we can keep our fingers crossed. Folks, if this is true, this will mean Jeep is goin back HOME. International Harvester was once the parent company of American Motors.
