Jeep rumors are the worst. They are never true and spread like wild fire. The new V6 is going in the wrangler in 2011....2012....2013...or never? Diesel coming to US in 2011...2012...yeah right. Allpar puts rumors out there but they never happen.

The new V6 3.6L Pentastar engine is already in the 2012. Although the hardtops leak like a sieve. Seriously they come into the shop all the time for water leaks. And most of the time its due to the customer installing the hard top wrong. Jeep gives very vague directions and no instructions on what not to do and cautions. More people can't understand why it leaks despite what we tell them that its their fault. they didn't install anything back correctly. Jeep could do well to heed LR's problem and give clear and concise directions that even a ten year old can read and understand and put them on the panels themselves. Not in the owners manual.
