More New Scrambler Details
In the fall 2003 Marlboro adventure magazine, there is a blurb with a
few more details on the new scrambler:
* MSRP will be $17,000-$25,000 depending on options
* Engine options will be the 2.5L 4-cyl and 3.7L 6-cyl
* It hints, but doesn't come right out and say, that the first year's
production run will offer only the mini-cab configuration (capacity
for 2 passengers)

That 3.7L is a V6. The4.0L I6 is what will probably be on it because that is
the engine that comes on the other TJ models. At least I hope the V6 is not
one of the engine options.

Re: More New Scrambler Details
What makes you think that the V6 is inferior to the I6? I have read
up on the features of Vs versus Is, and both types seem to have a hard
core of fans who insist they are better... but from what I as a layman
have read, neither engine style has an absolute edge over the other
type.

All else being equal, it is easier to balance an inline 6
without getting cute with offset cranks, oddball firing
delays, etc. None of which particularly matters any more
in a modern engine design, which the I-6 ain't, not that
that particularly matters either. Engine wars are fought
pretty much entirely by the ignorant.

Indeed, it's a "my dad's tougher than yours" school of logic.
The I6 is a nearly 40 year old, tried & true design. However, it's never
been noted for being particularly powerful, and it's a rather heavy old iron
dog. The V6 in the (dare I refer to it) ...Liberty... is the 4.7 with 2
holes cut off. It's bound to be much lighter and probably will crank out
more power. However, I doubt it will last anywhere near as long as the I6.
Then there the case of the V6 shakes.... Last good V6 in a Jeep was the 225
Dauntless.

They both have their place. The I-6 has max torque in a lower power band,
that's more useful for off-roading. Hence the backlash against putting a V6 in
in the TJ.
The V6 will rev high all day and will probably be somwhat more economical.
