Does anybody know the next time they are scheduled to do an Islander model?

I was waiting for the new engine and the colors this year suck.

Really wanted an Islander and was wondering if anyone new if maybe it would be a summer option or 2013.

Thought there might be some wrangler fans on here in the know.

Thanks.

They look fun. I've never know someone that owns one, and you're going to get a lemon out of every run, but I would trust an owner over a consumer list if I did know an owner.

They usually end up on the worst buy list because the people that do those lists and tests are people looking for a smooth quiet and comfortable ride. Jeeps are not that but that's not what they are made for either. I love my jeep and I drove it every day for six years. If I didn't have to drive so far for work and gas wasn't so expensive I would probably still be driving it every day. I don't plan on getting rid on my anytime soon. I actually hope to give it to my son one day.

A Jeep Wrangler has the highest residual value after 5 years than any other vehicle on the road. Second place is a Honda Civic if that tells you anything. The JK's have had their share of problems but nothing new for Daimler Chrysler. I had an 07 4-dr Sahara (in my avi), loved it but needed more power. I dropped down and built a 01 TJ. To me a Wrangler is a multi-purpose do anything vehicle. The 2012 with the Pentastar motors are supposed to be really good.

NEOCON, have you not seen the orange 2012 Wranglers? Pretty close to our orange. Almost makes me want to buy one for the color.

To the OP, the Islander has been around for a bit and should return. You can always buy the stickers and such and make it whatever you want it to be. That is the fun of it all.

4WD jeep wranglers have traditionally been very hard on gas. I'm not sure about the new models.

i want the seats, the islander blue, and the tiki guy for some reason.

i saw the orange in person and it looks nice but i cant see myself in an orange vehicle.

i would go with black but black is so damn hard and any rock that gets kicked up is going to show bad.

was going to go with cosmo blue but they discontinued it.
