Thinking of getting a 13 Wrangler.

Is yours auto or manual? I am a manual type unless the Jeep 6 speed sucks.

Fiat/Jeep/Chrysler is finally working on putting some Turbo-Diesels into production here in the US.

I don't think the Wrangler is at the head of the model list for introduction, but should they ever make one with a manual, I'd be in line for the second year of production.

I have the Wrangler Sport with the 5 speed automatic, although it does allow you to select the “top gear” by moving the gear shift to the left or right. Black/black with soft top. $25,400 out the door including taxes and license.

The Wrangler Sport automatic is this one.

Mercedes-Benz 5G-Tronic transmission
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
(Redirected from W5A580)
The Mercedes-Benz 5G-TRONIC (also called 722.6) is an electronically shifted 5-speed overdrive automatic transmission. It is in the process of being replaced by the Mercedes Benz 7G-Tronic Transmission which was introduced in 2003. However, all V12-powered cars such as the S600 and S65 AMG still retain the 5G-Tronic, which has a torque capacity of 796 lb-ft, as the newer 7G-Tronic is limited to 542 lb-ft, not enough to handle the torque from the V12 engine.[1] Also, while rear-wheel drive W211 E-Class cars have adapted the 7G-Tronic, those with 4MATIC retain the five-speed automatic, although the current generation W212 E-Class released for the 2010 model year has dropped the 5G-Tronic entirely, except for four-cylinder models.
In Chrysler applications this transmission is identified as the New Automatic Gearbox- Generation One, or NAG1.
