Wow that's differant. . . seems like the dakar is now reality.

[Intrepidation]

Looks good. Like a manly version of a Liberty

[Croc]

Looks great!

[Bimmer325]

I highly doubt that's authentic.

I highly doubt that's authentic.

Maybe, but even so, considering the 4-door will basically be an extended version of the new Wrangler with a couple extra doors, the look can't be far off.

It's alive!

Seriously, though, that looks very cool. Where did the photo come from? A brochure?

the dakar is one of my most favorite concepts of all time.

What he said. The new 4-door Wrangler pic looks kind of strange, I guess the idea of a 4-door, soft top Wrangler is foreign to me.

[Robert Hall]

I guess the idea behind the 4dr Wrangler is to make the rear seat more accessible/usable and give more rear legroom...(getting in and out of the back of a regular Wrangler can be a pain for adults)..

[ToniCipriani]

The shadows look strange, and the proportions of the front and rear doors look strange.

Screams Adobe to me.

[Bimmer325]

Once again, everything about the above image screams chop to me, regardless of whether or not the production model will look similar.

[Robert Hall]

I was surprised to see the 4dr being a softtop (unlike the Dakar concept which had a fixed roof).I wonder if the doors are removable like the 2dr.

[ocnblu]

Now I want to see a Rubicon 4 door, with the top on. The tires look a bit small on "kermit".

[Ravenfreak13]

Holy poodle cakes I like it

[RJB]

Chopity chop chop chop! I seen the real deal last Friday on I-75 coming home from work, it was right by the Chrysler Tech Center going southbound. It looks good. I also have seen a few of the new Nitros running around. One of the Nitros I saw was broke down on the shoulder of I-75. There were a bunch of engineers standing outside of the vehicle all on their cell phones scratching their heads, it was really funny!

[Sixty8panther]

Very cool. I love the unconvetional & out-of-the-box factor.

[KaliRover]

Would this thing compete with Toyota's FJ Crusier? I mean, the 2dr version...

[thegriffon]

Screams Adobe to me.

Yeah, press photos are routinely run through Photoshop, especially to change backgrounds, but also to tweak the image in other ways. The G6 GXP even had an auto interior tweaked with new trim and a manual transmission (but no clutch) all done "officially" in something like Photoshop.

[BrewSwillis]

No, the FJ Cruiser won't be able to compete with the Wrangler.

[thegriffon]

The photo was released early by Chrysler UK. More photos should be out today.

[Intrepidation]

The 2-door Wrangler and FJ-Crusier are both in the same class, yes. FJ means "Foriegn Jeep."

[Polish_Kris]

I highly doubt that's authentic.

The shadows look strange, and the proportions of the front and rear doors look strange.

Once again, everything about the above image screams chop to me, regardless of whether or not the production model will look similar.

The new issue of World Of Wheels just came in by mail. The new 4-door wrangler is on the front cover. The article says 2007. So it's happening.

Yes, like some people have already pointed out, it is real. The original picture that came out had really wierd color levels, and coupled with a possibly photoshopped background, made it look fake.

Real thing:

Cool... it's like a poor man's G-wagon.

[Intrepidation]

Looks a lot like a smaller version of the Rescue COncept (Which I liked a lot)

Speaking of which...they should have built that instead of the Commander.

[Camino LS6]

Pretty cool, but it looks very strange with the top off.

[Robert Hall]

The FJ Cruiser is a 4dr (has the reverse-opening rear doors like the Element, Ion, RX-..it's a lot bigger than the Wrangler (at least it looks such in person), and has a fixed roof..the Wrangler (2dr or 4dr) is really in a class by itself...

[Satty]

I think the Wrangler, FJ and H3 will all be fighting for sales. The Wrangler will get the most, and its probably the best of the bunch. The H3 will get the least because it is going to be the worst in most on-road categories.
