2012 Jeep Wrangler Pentastar review: a faster smoother more powerful classic

( http://www.TFLcar.com ) The 2012 Jeep Wrangler finally gets the new Chrysler Pentastar V-6 engine and 5 speed automatic or 6 speed manual transmission to not only compete in today's crowded Crossover and SUV segment, but rule the off-road world. More power and torque, better gas mileage and the same base price. What's not to like?

this review seems like it may be pretty biased. i need a review that grills it a little and doesn't make the review while cozied in so closely with the jeep staff, so that i know jeeps not "encouraging" a positive review... like the nutnfancy of automotives

@weaselfly The new Wrangler is much improved with a new and better engine, new interior and now even a new gearbox. Those are the facts. Off-road few cars can touch the Wrangler. That's also a fact. It's also loud, heavy and somewhat unrefined, but you we think that post people already know that.

tony petit is the dude. am i the only one who hates it when the hard-top is the same color as the jeep itself? i think it looks tacky. too much like a hummer. don't get me wrong, i'm a die-hard jeeper. i have legit never owned a vehicle that wasnt't a jeep

takes all the fun out of making your jeep "your own" i mean, i have a 2003 TJ RME i have had since new, it has 220000 KM on it, i have rolled it over and broken two dana 35 axles, every bump and scar is a story to be told.
