1. Appealing to a larger audience helps companies like FCA continue to make what is considered niche products. Like Motor Trend said in their review (February 2018), "If you went to an automaker and asked them to build a two-door body-on-frame trucklet with a convertible roof, almost no cargo space, and live axles (and with a windshield that folds down, removable doors, and an interior you can hose out)-you'd be laughed out of the room." Mainstreaming the JL keeps the money rolling in, which means development of the JL truck, next-gen Wrangler etc. moves on.And your point is?
2. Jeep fans are concerned "soccer moms" will buy JLs in the thousands. My point is that this is already happening, judging by how many pristine, never-touched-a-dirt-road JKs are driven around in the area I live in.
Wow, first post on this site and I get a snarky comment in return. I guess I'll go back to lurking.
