It's called making a conversation easier to follow.

Apparently, it's not because it is available early 2021.
Is the Hellcat practical or mainstream?
Unless you have insider engineering information, you just can't legitimately make that statement just yet.
Who said the changes have to be "radical"?
One could hardly tell by your ranting.
agreed
Please see the thread title "what are your thoughts.....". Those are are mine. This is a forum ..it's what we do here. Post stuff.
I'll ad this, I'm generally right about industry trends and have a pretty well tuned bull detector.
The 392 is FCA's only fast way to respond to Ford's Bronco, and they likely hope it is a trump card. It isn't.
They sat on their laurels with the last 13 years success and only continued to refine the platform, with the only significant improvement in capability being the 8 speed automatic...which is really designed to better utilize the 3.6 's peaky power....but I think it makes it better off road as well. Owners say that it does. They had played with big engines and had it developed far enough to make 2021 production, all the while making public, published statements that it couldn't be safely done.
Meanwhile, Ford develops the Bronco and offers an amazingly broad variety of options and models...so here we are.
Just as I was dead right about the Gladiator not being the next Tacoma, I'm likely right that the 392 Wrangler is more likely destined to be a unique, specialty model and not the dominant engine for future models. It's more of a sign of awakening by FCA, and solid proof they can get larger engines in the Wrangler.
Basically, the mighty 4 door Wrangler has gone as far as it can in its current packaging...and the thinking that got it that far likely can't take it any further. It has to change, and we are witnessing the beginning of that change. The 392 very well may be spark that starts that, or the sign, that that is happening . It is exciting. I'd like to have one.
On threads like this, going to post things I believe.
It was a crock that it couldn't be done. It sure enough got done when they wanted to. The impossible usually just takes working a little harder.
