I am part owner of a transportation company that opened its doors in
1931. However, this is a service-based company; we don't produce
durable goods, so perhaps my perspective is biased.

A couple of our employees have actually bought new '06 Rubicons and have
stored them for their kids (ages 9 and 11) as gifts when they graduate
High School. They feel as I do: These ARE the good old days, and they
like products and concepts that stand the test of time, and are willing
to support this belief with cash on the barrelhead.

Also of interest, I have an Uncle who has recently finished restoring a
'57 Willys and he too, has stored it for his nephew (age 8) as a gift
when he turns 18. The boy has seen this beautiful V-8 powered grey
beast and loves it, and he is eager for his inheritance.

As a friend said once, "Newer aint' better." I understand that
carmakers must make money in order to offer products like this. I
disagree however, that niche products like Jeep Wranglers must endure a
redesign/freshing every X years to remain in production. I'd like to
believe that the American public will go out of their way to support
wonderful, iconic, American-built products like this and demand that
changes never see the CAD screen, but this is not something that will
happen in my lifetime.
