Daimler Chrysler has not existed for years though.
What issues do you have with the JK? It drives, rides, and wheels better than a TJ. Every weak link a TJ had was fixed in the JK. The Commander/WK were pretty meh though. Nothing really wrong with the KJ's. They wheel better than the other SUV's they competed with for sure. Looks are debatable.
As for Fiat Chrysler, Fiat has a lot riding on Chrysler, they are not going to screw it up. Daimler tried to force their ways into Chrysler/Jeep products. But Fiat has been quite smart with the the products they are putting out. So far everything they have had their hand in (Except the Dart, but thats for other reasons) has been a large success. And because of Fiat, we are getting Diesel's in Jeeps and 1/2 ton pickups.
But time will tell what the new GW ends up being like.
