Yes but how much is the option to turn the Grand Cherokee into a full convertible with no doors and a folding windshield while maintain all the safety requirements from the government?Take a look at all the standard features included in a base model Grand Cherokee Laredo compared to a Wrangler. It will make your stomach ache.
Of course Jeep has much greater competition in the SUV market so they must compete on features and price. Not the case with the Wrangler. No direct competition.
Time will tell if JL does the same sales numbers as JK. If not, Jeep can always offer rebates to lower the price if needed.
It was interesting in a different thread, to examine the historic sales of the various Wrangler versions. After visiting a fan site such as this, a casual viewer might walk away thinking Rubicon is a much more purchased version than it really is. In a similar vein, while fans here will easily see the differences between the JK and JL (perhaps even overemphasizing the differences in some regards), I bet the average public might not see the JK/JL as all that different. In fact when I mentioned "redesign" to some people not as much into Jeeps, they were surprised it was redesigned because to them it looked much the same. Bottom line - JL might be an easy sell to some Wrangler fans, but especially with the higher price, jury is out in terms of overall demand and sales. How elastic is the price - how many thousands can Jeep stretch the price before there is significant negative sales impact?

Apparently you can, because a Ferrari 488 or G-Wagen or Bollinger B1 or any number of $100k+ vehicles are undeniably 'cooler' than a Wrangler.That said, can you really put a value on the "cool factor?"
Idk about other people but I find the G wagon an ugly vehicle and not cool at all lol yeah it's luxurious and all but the single time I drove one for a couple blocks didn't make me feell cool or anything special only a douche hahaha. I believe it is overpriced for what it is. Ferrari on the other hand, yeah cool as hell if I could drive/own one...but coolest car ever for me is a wran gler and although price is on the high side, it's well worth it.Apparently you can, because a Ferrari 488 or G-Wagen or Bollinger B1 or any number of $100k+ vehicles are undeniably 'cooler' than a Wrangler.
It is also way more capable than any other Jeep.It is not the JL doesn't fit my requirements, it does very well but is just way over priced compared to other jeeps
agree the top off is very cool for soft tops, although the freedom hard tops with removable panels are equivalent or less than pano sun roof IMHO... it has become vary obvious to me when comparing the jeep line, the JL will be THE cash cow for FCA, which i don't have a problem with (not a lot of competition compared to suv/csuv markets) however the best value (non rock climbing) lies in other jeep models
