Then make Wranglers more aerodynamic— eliminate the iconic folding windshield and slope it way back…. Eliminate the iconic front fenders and grill ( they are working on the grill) and redesign the front end— eliminate the iconic square body, roofline, rear end for an aerodynamic shape— lower them to decrease under vehicle turbulence and they would be aerodynamic. The simple solution is to re-badge the GC as Wrangler and discontinue production.

I didn't buy my 21 JLURD for the aerodynamics, and only partially for the fuel mileage. I bought the Wrangler to drive and wheel with. Daily driver and anytime wheeler.
Good fit as a toad behind the 42' Diesel Class A we full-time RV in.
I get a constant 24-26 MPG running a t 65-75 MPH on the interstate or 2-lane blacktops. Did a 2000 mile camping trip, pulling a 6x12' box trailer, from Mid-Mo to Utah and back. Still got 16 MPG on the highways.
As soon as they change the styling, it will become a GC, as mentioned above. At that point, it's not a Wrangler any more.
I like it the way it is. (liked my old 2001 TJ, too!)
