[QUOTE="ObieFox, post: 13976017, member: 3370"] I drive and own both Mustangs and Jeeps Wranglers (I know, I never really made it out of high school ;) and this conversation about the '15 being "too nice" reminds me very much of some of the conversations that I've seen over on the Jeep forums. My 2 door 2014 Wrangler Rubicon has heated leather seats and mirrors along with a silky smooth and powerful V6.... I've been driving since the mid 80's and I never thought I would own a Wrangler this comfortable and capable. Many of the "purists" shun the new Wranglers as just being too nice. Sound familiar? But I encourage everyone to take a look around the grocery store or mall parking lot the next time you are out. The newer model Jeep Wranglers are everywhere. The 2012 Wrangler sold about 192,000 units with the Toledo plant running 20hrs a day and 6 days a week trying to keep up with demand. The options and comfort features certainly appear to be driving mass market appeal.... If we compare that with the previous model Wrangler (TJ available '98-06), they averaged about 75,000 units per year. For comparison, our beloved Mustang has averaged just under 70,000 units for the past several years.... As purists we always have to remember that the grocery getters (and associated mass market features) are what keeps our favorite toys in production and allows Ford to build GT500's and allows Jeep to build Rubicon's.
