That’s how much the current one is in top trim. I think GM’s plan is to take the name further upmarket while retaining the current poverty mobile intact.

I hope they pull a Porsche with this, like the 911. From base model to GT2RS. Same platform, choose your power, drivetrain and price.

I had that once with my gti a year ago when it was 3 years old at the time, bought jumper cables, car started without an issue. Then last may, i had to get battery replaced and turned out the oem battery wasn’t tightened down

I replaced my GTI battery at like 4-5 years or so because it was taking forever to turn over.

Big 2 announced their monthly sales, since GM said :micdrop: we will only do it quarterly.

So the wrangler is now the 2nd best selling product in the FCA portfolio... sold 175k units YTD vs 135k LY, the next best selling product is the JGC at 155k. which is quite a bit behind and the gap is growing since FCA has been moving 20k wranglers a month for the past 6 months :mindblown:

Oh dang. Like i said, it didn’t do another hiccup until last june. Same thing happened with my friend’s 2015 infiniti qx50 and behaved like nothing happened.
