I am glad to see that the Wrangler and Commander are gaining in sales regardless.

The WK was off to a slow start, most likely due to the drastic body line changes. Most were not ready for the squared off euro-look, but more and more customers are warming up to them. I didn't like tham at first, but next to the WJ (pile) it is a breath of fresh air. cosmetically and mechanically (except the choice in water pump vendors) it is a very tight vehicle. Wrangler has and always will appeal to the most loyal of Jeep owners- the "universals".... Liberty fell drastically after the body change. The interior is way more efficient, but the exterior, well, it just plain sucks. Nobdy likes it. People who own them don't like the way they look. Expect a major change and possible re-name soon!!
