Perhaps but right now if you run the build and price widget on the Jeep site for a GC Limited with just the EcoDiesel option and what that "sticks" you with:
1.4X2 = $41,290 - adds nothing but $4,500 EcoDiesel price to base price (e.g. no extra fluff)
2.4X4 = $46,290 - includes ca. $2,000 premium for 4X4 plus some Luxury Group II
The Limited is the lowest model with the diesel option. Obviously pricing would be better if it was available on the LaredoE or Laredo but that does not appear to be the case right now.
For what it's worth in 2005 the Liberty cost less than the GC, don't have a clue how much but running a simple online inflation calculator says $30,000 in 2005 would adjust to $35,000 in 2012 for whatever that's worth. My only point is $X on a different model in 05/06 is not a good comparison to $Y on a completely different model with a substantially different engine in late 2013. Not saying the above prices are "good".
Not to mention the above prices are "list".
Good points. We'll see if dealers will "deal" with the GC - most were hesitant to cut the price on the Liberty way back when, though when you went for the door the story changed.
