I may still join the Jeep world in a few years. I like my new Crosstrek and it will save me some money, but I also like the Wrangler a lot and in a few years I may "upgrade". My decision now may set me in a more secure financial position later where I'm willing to spend that extra money. I even toyed with the idea of getting a big 4WD truck and pulling a travel trailer with it, but not only are they expensive, but I really don't want it to be my daily driver. Still that, too, might be an option in a few years. I don't feel fanatical about the decision one way or the other - for me it's just picking the most practical solution at this moment in time.
