> The 2007 Jeep® Wrangler Rubicon beat out three Chevys,
> a Hummer, a Toyota, a Kia and a GMC to capture the

> Magazine.

> It's no easy task. Think of it as the 4x4 world's
> version of fraternity hazing. Competitors have to
> show their stuff on a grueling 1,000 mile test which
> looks at its suspension, engine, transmission and
> transfer case along with the style and creature
> comforts. The most important test though, is how well
> the beasts behave off-road

> "This award is the ultimate pinnacle," said Mike
> Donoughe, Chrysler Group Vice President, Body-on-Frame
> Product Team. "We are honored that 4-Wheel & Off-Road
> magazine selected the ultimate off-road icon, our new
> all-new 2007 Jeep Wrangler Rubicon, as 4x4 of the
> Year."
>
> Said Rick Pewe, Editor of 4-Wheel & Off-Road: "The
> Jeep Wrangler Rubicon clearly won this year's test,
> despite being pitted against formidable challengers.
> The fine mechanical attributes and classic styling and
> new- found comfort lifted the Jeep well above the
> competition, and the incredibly capable off-road
> ability helped propel it into the winners circle."
