Re: Unlimited with Automatic Only???
That's what I was told as well... I've had both now (5 sp & auto), and
would likely purchase the auto again given the opportunity, particularly
with the 4 speed. I do know some prefer the standards though. I suspect
the marketing guys believe most people buying the unlimited will be using it
as more of a traditional SUV and that a 5 sp wouldn't sell as well. Seems
they could at least make it optional though.

Similar to the introduction of the Liberty, and further back, the Grand
Cherokee. Even though the base model (and I think the mid model as well) had a
manual tranny standard, very few if any were made in the first few years
because D-C felt the autos would appeal to a wider audience. In the case of the
Grand Cherokee, so few were ordered with the manual that it was dropped after a
short time.

The type of people that would order a Libby or Cherokeette wouldn't
know how to drive a manual transmission.
