LOL! Really. I know the reasons for the demise of the I-6, but still,
you would think they would switch over to a long-standing,
well-developed, durable truck engine design as a replacement instead of
something out of a FWD Mommy-Van.
I just got the 'press release' packet in the mail with loads of
information about the '07 Wrangler. I now need a vomit bag. It's
hideous. An interior like a PT Cruiser, and exterior like a Hummer, and
a nice, new drivetrain that has no off-road history at all. And I'm
sure it will take 10 years to work the bugs out of this thing as well,
as sales languish. Bleh. This is progress?
All I can say is, THANK GOD I bought my '05 TJ Unlimited when I did!!!
