Okay I am trying to see your vision here. A stripped down rubicon with 2.0T, no upgrades other than black hard top is 49K MSRP.

How much do you think Jeep would charge a customer to add a 392 HEMI to the Jeep Rubicon in the photo below? 10K? 15K? Either way the numbers with TTL still put the average joe way out of purchasing a stripped down 392.

But yes, it would at least make sense in the Rubicon trim to have the ability to choose 392 as an engine option. That I can agree with you.

I don't know. Who knows with Jeep. It will definitely be interesting to see what they come up with. Also don't forget the hard top adds an extra $1500. I would go for a soft top.

Honestly if they don't price it fairly I wouldn't buy it. It's just not worth breaking the bank over. In reality a big heavy v8 in the front end of a Jeep isn't ideal anyways for off roading. Especially with dismal fuel economy.

A lighter weight 2 door with a 2.0T and shorter wheel base would technically be better. Lucky for me I like both platforms.

I'm always torn between the 4 cylinder turbos and the V8s. I like the both for different reasons. It's probably why I owned a 2014 Subaru WRX hatch and a 2015 Challenger Scat Pack. Lol..

I hear you. People are tuning twin turbo 4 cylinders to unbelievable numbers. Just never sounds exciting.

Really not a challenge to you regarding my post but I wanted to see if what you’re proposing makes sense and I just don’t see it. Hope you find what you’re looking for and get that Jeep that’ll make you smile my friend.

It can make sense if Jeep wants it to. Just think of the $40k 392 Challenger Scat Pack.

Hopefully we'll all have some answers for 2022.

I was told by someone who works with Stellantis that the 392 jeep won’t be around after 2022

I agree. It’s not going to be as fast as people think, however, we will begin seeing more 4 cylinder and maybe even 6 cylinder hybrids as V8s are phased out. Look at the new Tundra.
Look at the new C63 AMG…uses the same engine as my CLA45 (not complaining awesome little engine)

My little 2.0T AMG makes over 400hp with some new downpipes (loud as fuck)

I adored my Mini Cooper and will probably get one again. Only next time will be a manual. I would be pretty happy with a Cooper and my Jeep.

The Gladiator was very new at the time and was something I was considering trading my truck for. Was excited to see one in the wild.

Minis really are a different type of fun in my book. They really are Go-Karts on steroids. Haters are like "there's no hp"... but with their size and weight... i found my lil s 2 door zipping along with the best of them. I really want to add one back on my driveway bc sometimes the 392 is just too big for really speed weaving when that mood hits!

I had the Clubman I really liked, with the hidden 3rd door. The new Clubman doesn't excite me. I would get a two door next go around, may even consider the bathtub convertible.

I am leaning more towards the S or JCW Convertible also, I can't do four doors again. People will think I have kids or something. I am removing the rear seat from my JLR, no adult would want to sit back there or they do once.
