Once known for its rugged looks and Spartan interior, the Jeep Wrangler was the proletariat dream.

The 2010 Jeep Wrangler 4-dr I recently drove was actually pretty modern with its touch-screen navigation unit. The new Chrysler is slowly breaking out of its shell. (For a recap, visi our auto crisis hub.) There have been teaser shots of the new Dodge Durango, and now, the updated 2011 Jeep Wrangler makes an appearance.

The biggest changes on the legendary and popular Wrangler happen on the interior. The Wrangler's new interior is brighter than before, thanks to bits of silver trim on the doors, the passenger's grab handle, and all four air vents. Climate controls have been updated and a "Jeep, Since 1941" inlay is mounted onto the passenger grab handle.

Outside, the most obvious change for Jeep fans is the body-colored hard top for Sahara models. Has Jeep improved on its oldest nameplate?
