Do the rear seats fold down flat?

Wing. I really don't understand you. You kick people off your site not for braking the rules, Just for not being like by 3 users and you sensor for no  valid reason. when it does not make any sense you leave it. I really think you don't have a clue what your doing sometimes. please follow the rules you've laid out and stop making it up as you going along. :)

I like Jeeps, They are the Land Rover of Defender Of North American. (Can't really say what I like to say as the sensor police will be on my case and LOL its not even that sensitive.  Just that happy people who carry rainbow flags really like these jeeps.

Basically true. Anyone with the slightest hint of sense would have long since left a site where it is abundantly clear that he is not welcome.

Having been repeatedly banned (for cause), WHY do you feel that you can now return as a guest (or as a new name) with impunity? Banned is banned, regardless of CURRENT behaviour. Go away, stay away.

Wing, you should have a seat in the previous generation TJ if you don't like the new Wrangler  :rofl:  I felt smooshed against the door.

Wing, perhaps you have read that the new 4-door Wrangler now makes up 82% of the sales.  The 2-door you have is actually a rare sight !

I saw a 4 door today and was looking at the wheel base, it is much longer (or at least it looks to be) which should soften the ride a bit.  The driver looked to be a mid 30's blond ;)

Tranny?  :D

I quite like the 4 door model, especially in the Rubicon trim level.  Perhaps a worthy descendent of the XJ Cherokee?

After reading your blog, I can see why this jeep would make no sense to you, you live in the burbs, I think if you live in a rural community and travel to and from the city, this is where these Jeeps start to make sense. I would like that extra piece of mind while traveling on snow covered roads or even loose gravel roads, the Jeep would give you that sense of security.

Whoa!  You need a Jeep to drive on snow and gravel?  Sorry I don't buy that either.  Lower centre of gravity is always better for low traction situation.  Plus the cost of fuel would be insane!

I really like the way the new Wrangler looks and I like the improvements made to the new model.  For the the first time I would consider buying one but, I just cant see it being practicle as a primary vehicle.  As a second family vehicle, that would be different, thats when I would actually go out and buy one.  

I'd love to take the top off and go for some ice cream or a picnic with the family, and as the author says "Its great in the city".

For me.  And in my opinion, I just dont find the Wrangler Unlimited attractive at all.

I see a lot of 4-doors out there. We would see even more if the Chrysler could enrich the 4-door mix over the 2-door. I don't think overall (i.e. total annual sales)  it's quite up to 82% but sales of the unlimited are significantly higher than the 2-door sales.
