Reason Behind the JL Wrangler Delay

Thanks to supplier leaks, we've known for a while now that the all new 2017 Jeep JL Wrangler was more than likely to see a deal in its release by at least a year - maybe two and David Zatz explained why that would be in a recent article he published on AllPar.

The Jeep Wrangler is to be pushed back a year, though the reason may have nothing to do with finances, as Reuters implies. The Wrangler was reportedly to have an aluminum body or independent suspension, but neither made it past testing, setting the program back.

So, it looks as if all the things that would have made the new JL so much different than the JK is today not only is going out the window, it also is causing its ultimate release to be pushed back and by quite a bit. At this point and time, I just hope the new JL will at least be somewhat different than the JK. I would say that time will tell but apparently, we have too much of that on our hands now. :rolleyes2:
