	Originally posted by: Bob Elliott The new Hemi V6 sounds interesting. Torque is what moves a Jeep and where that torque is delivered in the power curve is also important. Too many higher tech, higher horsepower engines do have better mileage, higher maximum horsepower, but less available torque in the all-important lower speeds and most common rpm driving ranges. Hopefully this V6 will be an all around improvement over the I6 in mileage, power, durability and emissions. With a hemi configuration they could have a standard and a high performance option which could give V8-like performance with v6 economy. You can do stuff like that with hemis so easily.

	Originally posted by: Raj I've just placed an order for a 2001 Wrangler Sport (actually with JeepWarehouse.com, which has been a much better shopping experience than a conventional dealer!). Bill at JeepWarehouse confirmed most of the 2001 changes reported here and in the original article, though he didn't think that the dual-top option on a Sport would come with deep tint windows by default. Pretty much everything else was in line with these reports.

	Originally posted by: John I contacted On All Fours about 2 weeks ago when I ordered my 2001 TJ as a service to his readers and anyone else interested in purchasing a new TJ. I just registered with your site, and am impressed with the frequent updates and informative articles. Other interesting new features of note are the removable side steps, and optional tinted soft windows (standard with Sahara and dual top option). It is also interesting to note that in the heading "Strategy" on the dealer info sheet, DC refers to the Wrangler as "...the Icon of the Jeep brand...", perhaps hinting to the future?

	Originally posted by: George It's great news to hear that Jeep is addressing the noise problem with the Softtop. I have a 2000 Wrangler with the Dual Top Option. When doing 65mph with the softtop up,the noise is deafening! You long for the hardtop. The four-ply top will be just like a regular convertible top. I assume Bestop will offer it for sale on ealier Wranglers. When they do I'm ordering one and selling my softtop. Now if only they could get rid of the plastic windows that scratch when you breath on them!!!!!!!
