The only big selling point I see the JKs have over the TJ is the 4-door model. Oh, and now the Pentastar V6.
It's been a long time since I've driven any Wrangler, but my brief experience with the Pentastar in a rental Charger leaves me wondering whether it's really the right engine for that application. It's got good power, but like all of the 3.X liter, 300ish hp V6s out there these days it really only makes that power higher up in the rev range. In the Charger (which is, admittedly, a big, heavy car) it felt kind of gutless unless you really caned it.
