LOL I could see it happening.... It's not like they've listened to anything else the Jeep community has asked for, but I can understand, there's definitely more money in the soccer mom/mall crawler crowd than the offroad, utility crowd....
98% (if not more) of the JK's on the road probably will never see off pavement, and if they do probably a gravel road. If it winds up riding better, they will sell even more. It sucks for the purist, but I bet they do it so they sell more.
