Couldn't they do a transverse engine layout? Honest question - not being a smart ass.I like straight 6 engines, and AMC made great straight 6s, I have always thought it made the front end unnecessarily long, when the 232 was put in the cj5, it resulted in a longer front end that stayed through to the tj. I hope that if jeep does use a straight 6, that they don't lengthen the body.
I found an article that summarizes pros and cons of longitudinal vs transverse layouts, but this is the extent of my knowledge on the topic:
