Ah, Toledo...the motherland...

For those on this newsgroup who have loudly voiced such distain for the Liberty, keep in mind that Liberty sales are a BIG part of what's keeping Jeep in business so we can have our Wranglers. According to the Toledo Blade newspaper article on May 4th, Wrangler sales so far this year are 29,396 (up

53% from last year at this time) and Liberty sales are 57,326 for the same time period, which is almost double the Wrangler sales. Although I don't have the exact figures offhand, I also believe the Liberty sales figures have far outpaced the Cherokee sales during the last few years of the Cherokee's production.

I know the biggest beef about the Liberty is the IFS, but that's what the average soccer mom wants and needs. Of course, we don't want IFS on our Wranglers, but I personally don't think Jeep will be putting IFS on Wranglers anytime within the next few years, if then.

I am now holding my breath and ducking for cover because of that last statement. :)
