The engine plant is still here in Kenosha. According to this, they make the
3.5L and 2.7L V6's:

Last time I was at the local dealer, I was told that Daimler was contemplating
bringing a Hemi line to Kenosha. Of course, that info was from a sales droid,
and before $3.00/gal gasoline...

This does not say that the two door will be cancelled. It says that the
2006 model is the last with ONLY two doors. The 2007 model has two doors
OR four doors. Nowhere does it say that it will become ONLY FOUR doors.
As it won't. There should be a two door liberty. You can get two door
Grand Vitara's overseas. Not very grand that way. They should change the
name.
