Someone should write them and suggest they retest a wrangler with a solid, custom  front bumper, full skid plates,  and 40" tires

Maybe someone should write DC and let them know that people may be interested in a vehicle that will offer some protection in an accident.  I would think they would sell a lot more vehicles if the customer thought their kids would survive and accident.  Safety would probably be more attractive to a potential buyer than 0% financing.
