As far as what's coming in '07. It's a very watered down version of the concept Rescue. Yes, there will be a new wrangler also. But this is why you don't have your cherokee any more.
Why exactly do you think the H3 needs SFAs? Just because other vehicles do. I am getting tired of saying this, but a vehicle is the SUM of it's parts. It cannot be gauged by individual components. The H3, like the H2, has traction control which changes the dynamics of the situation. By being able to apply torque to the tire with the most traction, it will continue it's movement forward. The other front tire need not be on the ground. This is just one aspect but is part of an example of why.
Read about the Jeep Hurrican concept. Go look at higher end ATVs and you'll get an idea of where suspensions can go. Solid axles are at the end of their lifespan and can not be improved upon any more. Independently sprung suspensions are what is being designed and tested now because it offers the most promise for even better ability.
