Supposedly there's a pretty significant redesign pending. Chrysler has been eating shit for years with overall economy and performance ratings, mainly due to the Wrangler. They've been taking baby steps toward reducing wind resistance and increasing fuel economy, and next gen is expected to be a big year.
I've had 2 YJs, a TJ and now my JK, and every single one has been "my favorite so far", so no matter what they do to it, I'll be buying another one in a few years and I'm sure I'll love it.
ETA: I
do take a little bit of twisted pride when I'm with a group of people bragging about the fuel economy of their hybrids, and when my turn comes I say I get about 14 MPG in my cinder-block-mobile.
