Fields Chrysler Jeep Dodge

As all drivers in Northfield with a used Jeep Wrangler know, this automaker really knows its stuff. That's one reason why the company sold 122,460 Wranglers last year, which adds up to a 30-percent rise over 2010 sales. The increases weren't limited to the automaker's home market, though, as sales outside of the United States rose 10 percent to 26,278 last year.

On top of transforming the world of entertainment, Walt Disney once said of his company, "We keep moving forward, opening new doors and doing new things because were curious, and curiosity keeps leading us down new paths."

He may not have been talking about Jeep, or even cars, but he sure knows what he's talking about. Jeep is curious about what it's capable of and drivers are curious about?well, the same thing!  

Well here's a hint for Northfield used Jeep Wrangler drivers: the 2012 Wrangler Unlimited Rubicon is something to be curious about because it shows how Jeep is moving forward - without looking back. This year, Jeep built off of 2011 upgrades, including a renovated body and interior, by adding a V-6 Pentastar engine with five-speed automatic transmission.

Got that one family member you really truly love but even more really and more truly can't stand? No worries, we all do.

The unfortunate thing about that situation is that you just can't switch out your family members, and with a whole slew of holidays now approaching, it's getting to that time where people wish they could.

No matter how 2011 treated us, as drivers and as people, we all have plenty of expectations for 2012. Whether they're concerns about the potential demise of the world as we know it in December or your run-of-the-mill resolutions for the new year, 2012 is going to be an exciting 365 days.

More exiting for some than others, though. Jeep Skokie drivers, for one, are anxious to see where the next year goes. On top of the advancements they've already seen from their beloved Wranglers, drivers can be on the lookout for one more: the 2012 Jeep Wrangler may be named sport/utility vehicle of the year. Motor Trend announced the nomination last week and Jeep drivers are already talking about the possibility of a win.
