As an '04 Jetta TDI owner with 10 years and 245,000 miles on the clock, I for one would have to disagree.

Funny thing is, I have AT&T through work and my phone will automatically hop on ATT hotspots. Whenever I'm near a Starbucks or McDonald's wondering why data is taking forever to load, I realize I'm on ATT wifi and turn it off because LTE is WAY faster. Guess I'm spoiled.

What? I've never seen a Ford truck without 4 low. Why would they complicate manufacture with two different transfer cases anyways?

...as I read this article on my smartphone, not wanting to get out of bed.

Oh what a feeeling, TOYOTA!!! ...I remember that jingle haha

"Can't handle" has not been true of the Camaro for a while now.

Yeah, everyone on here bitching about interference designs as if engineers have a choice in all applications. Show me a Diesel engine that is non-interference.

On my BEW TDI, inspecting the timing belt is easy: Pull intake hose retainer clip, rotate hose up and out of the way. Pop both clips on upper timing cover and remove; inspect belt. TB replacements are done every 100,000mi, and they aren't bad if you buy the right tools.

A 4-cyl Diesel engine will most certainly outlast the life of a timing chain assembly. When the inevitable time comes to change it, which job would you rather do on a traverse mounted engine?

There are many engines out there with faulty timing chain/tensioner designs that notoriously fail prematurely. Timing chain assemblies are typically more complex and have more rotating mass and overall weight. There are pros and cons to both approaches and I certainly wouldn't say that chain > belt drive in every

That thing is ugly as SIN... U-G-L-Y YOU AIN'T GOT NO ALIBY YOU'RE UGLY!

Surely you jest. The Hellcat goes fast, in a straight line. It would handily get smacked down on a track or a road race by all of these cars.

Yeah, they also weight like what, half of a Wrangler?

Oh, researching and loading a Trifecta tune on it was the first thing I did. It pulls nicely when the turbo is spooled up, generally with the A/C off. Turning left into traffic with the A/C on is a balancing act of tacking it up and possibly roasting the front tires, or lugging along until the boost comes on as

The port injection 2.5L in the TJ's weren't terrible, unless you had the slushbox. The old 2.5's in the YJ with TBI, or worse, those shitty Carter carbs certainly were gutless though. My buddy had a lifted YJ with that engine on 34's, with original too tall gearing. It had the 5-speed but it didn't matter, could

As with most vehicles, they've already been selling diesel Wranglers everywhere else except for the US for years now.

If its turbodiesel that would be badass, but some gutless 4-banger with a turbo tacked on as an afterthought like my woman's Cruze Eco, that would suck for trail and rock crawling.

I had a '98 TJ 4.0L that I bought new, romped the hell out of it and racked up 113,000mi on it driving between home, college and work. The only driveline pieces I ever replaced were brakes, sway bar end links, a U-Joint on the rear driveshaft and a ring and pinion in the rear diff under warranty.

So basically, the Wrangler will be "reinvented" (assimilated) to the Jellybean design language that all modern SUVs have succumbed to and it will now feature turbo lag for rock crawling? Sounds like a winner to me.
