I think you are right. I did not see that as an option in the manual and assumed. Never assume, I know.

2.0L ?!?! GTFO
Super bummed there isn't going to be a V8 option. Anxious to test drive a diesel Wrangler. I hope the JL will continue to have a removable top. The power soft will also be a welcome change.

Whoa, power soft top? I want to see that in action!

Anxious to see if the hp/torque numbers on the diesel JL Are the same as the grand Cherokee.

Not sure if this was mentioned or asked yet but I wonder about the diesel option here in California. And the def tank. If equipped. I know it's normally 3/4 and one ton that are equipped. But I'm still curious what California emissions will require.

def tank
I dont believe there will be a def tank. The VM diesels run burns of diesel in the exhaust to meet the exacting temps of the DPF system (800°C) when the cycle asks for it.

If you want to see it in person I'd buy a ticket to the Detroit Auto Show in January 2017

This Diesel....
Option is making me wait on going full tilt modding my 16 hard rock.... now I want to wait and see what happens with possibly grabbing the diesel in 2019 when the bugs are worked out...

Looks like the 2018 will have aluminum hood and doors.

You know, that is a nightmare for body shops. They have to have different tools for the aluminum versus the steel body panels.
But, on the plus side, it be easier to maneuver those doors when they're off.

I read about this yesterday on AutoBlog. I wonder how this will affect trail damage?
Will it be less durable or more durable than the steel body panels we have now? It sounds like it will be more expensive to fix after damage too!

It's not like the current thin steel is very durable lol. You look at it wrong at it leaves a mark.

My father in law recently retired after 50+ years the auto body business, he was saying how happy he was to get out before the aluminum body vehicles started coming in. He was telling me the same, different tools, different techniques. He also thought that there may be a lot more panel replacement versus repair also.
