Before anyone goes and posts something bad about the new wrangler, I want let you all in on a little secret. The military is looking for a HMMWV replacement and DC is probably a little bitter that GM is building a MOPAR vehicle. Back in the 1980s, after Chrysler bought AMC, they had their big government bailout. Part of the company restructuring, Chrysler was forced to sell off its military branches. Unfortunatly for Chrysler, that was their only branch that was making any money! They lost the HMMWV and the Abrams tank plants in Ohio. Just think - the DoD has over 20,000 HMMWVs and almost 7,000 M1 Abrams MBT.
Now DC is looking to get back what should be theirs. The real reason they are building a 4 door Wrangler is to snag the gov't contract for the new HMMWV replacement away from GM. I guess we win in the end too!
