Spotted one on my drive to St. Louis a couple weeks ago. I'm starting to see them pop up around town a little more. There's hope for them yet I suppose, we'll see what the next couple years have in store for it, unless Fiat totally kills Mopar lol
PS, the twins post? Genius lol

I picked up a Latitude a week ago for my DD. I absolutely love it. I have owned 5 Wranglers but needed a change for my growing family. All of my wranglers were manually everything and I like the change of having power windows, doors, etc. I see a lot of disappointment over the front end, but that is what made me but the Cherokee over the Grand. I'm in Chicago area with a ton of snow on the ground and I have been impressed with how it handles. I have the 4X4 4 banger.

I think if they cant figure out how to cost effectively lift it the popularity will die down. All I wont to see is one butchered, solid axels, pushing 40s

The XJ had none of that stuff for years and it sold like hotcakes, just as the KL is.
I'm just guessing here, but I'll bet you're not in the demographic Jeep is targeting to sell this vehicle to........

When did the XJ not have solid axles? Teehee
IMO the XJ would not have the status it has today without solid axles. Same reason I almost shat myself when I read that the 2016 Wrangler may not have them.

That will be the official end of the Jeep name.
