And that's why I can't understand FCA's decision to import the 2.2 only. Australians don't want low capacity diesels which is why the Ranger is such a big seller.

We also aren't getting manuals here either. From what I've read it's autos only.

It's a funny thing, I know a lot of people that absolutely love the 2.8 but then I've talked to a lot of people that hate it.

I was very close to buying one as I wanted a diesel but after a conversation with a mechanic who specialises in Jeeps, I changed my mind.

More than likely I'd have bought one and would have been very happy with it but now I'll wait and see what we end up with in the JL before making the decision.
