And I thought it was ten years earlier.

Re: new wrangler - ug

I don't believe it, your paper is wrong or you misunderstood what they said.

O7 is the first year for the 4 door Wrangler, but there is no way they
are getting rid of the "iconic" 2 door.

I don't know if it's possible to overestimate the stupidity of the DC
management but even they can't be THAT stupid!

Granted... I am the product of the public school system... but
regardless of what part of the world you're from... (perhaps with the
exception of some certain parts of some southern states...) it's pretty
hard to misinterpret:

"The 2006 Jeep Wrangler is the last SUV to be offered with only two
doors."

It goes on to say

"The 2007 Wrangler soon arrives with availability of its first
four-door model, a V-6 engine instead of the traditional inline
(cylinders all in a row) six-cylinder and the chance to get rear-wheel
drive instead of the standard four-wheel-drive setup."

Could be wrong? Sure. But reliable auto writers typically dance
around "absolutes" when talking rumor - as there's always plenty of
rumor to go around. It runs rampant in the motorcycle press. But '07
is a ways away, and decisions could change. Perhaps its an
announcement to gauge backlash?

Dropping a popular, well-selling vehicle with a strong fan base doesn't
make sense to me either.

Re: new wrangler - ug

This is paragraph two from that new report:

"The 2006 Jeep Wrangler is the last SUV to be offered with only two doors.
The 2007 Wrangler soon arrives with availability of its first four-door
model, a V-6 engine instead of the traditional inline (cylinders all in a
row) six-cylinder and the chance to get rear-wheel drive instead of the
standard four-wheel-drive setup."

You could also take this to mean that in future years '07+ that both 2 and 4
door models are slated for production.
