Ah, yes, I tend to forget there’s a world outside the U.S.

I think the electric Wrangler will arrive in time to save the 2-door in the U.S.

The problem is that Stellantis is pushing their hybrid system, and that won't fit in the 2-door platform. They've shown an electric 2-door prototype, but are not shipping it.

Jeep had a huge hit with the mommymobile version of the Wrangler. Before the 4-door, the Jeep Wrangler was mostly a basic vehicle. Now they come with rear seat entertainment systems, far higher prices, and huge markups.

Agreed that the 4-door turned Jeep into a money-printing machine, but they have managed to keep the Wrangler as close to its roots as regulatorily-possible. I don’t see them giving up on 2 doors without a fight.

(I may be biased because I own two vehicles, both 2-door Wranglers.)
