2019 Rubicon Recon or similar - Check!
Power slid top - Check!
Diesel - Check!
LED option - Check!
Broke AF after - Checky check!!!

The reveal wasn't bad but I wanted a bit more... maybe several girls in thongs twerking as the Wranglers drove on stage would've been a nice touch... just sayin'...

Kidding aside, I rarely see an epic car reveal so kept my expectations realistic.

RoadMap says HEV , Powertrain investor’s guidance says PHEV, Plug-in Electric Hybrid Vehicle.

Electric-only makes little sense for a vehicle that can never trim down enough to extend its range to be sufficient for the average user.
The partial or "soft" hybrid is the 4 cylinder turbo. I'm planning on staying either 3.6 V6 or 3.0 diesel. I don't think I want any hybrid components while out rock crawling.

Are the wheels on the "Hella Yellow" Rubicon standard or premium?

It’s not “partial” or “soft” Hybrid, the 4cylinder with BSG (known as eTorque in FCA terms) is a MILD hybrid.
The PHEV stands for Plug-in Hybrid Electric Vehicle, not ‘partial’.

This may help you;

Correction: the yellow JLU is indeed a new color called "Hella Yella" (yes, that's how it's spelled) which I'm told will be offered in March 2018 along with some other new paint options.

(Still no sign of Nacho)...
WTF !?! Scarily interesting....

Hope, they don’t blow all their yellow paint on 2018s, and leave some for those of us waiting for 2019.

Any idea the colour code for Hella Yella (didn’t see a door panel sticker pic in he thread) ?

this may be a stupid question and not sure if anyone can answer it but when purchasing a sahara with the power sunroof do you also get the regular three piece hard top as well?

There was not a whole lot of time for Q&A but we picked up some tidbits (these will be added to third post):
  • Pricing will be announced by end of the year.
  • 2-door ordering begins February.
  • Half doors will be available 2019. They do not come with uppers.
  • Power sliding top will be available early 2018.
  • Color seen at show is Hella Yella and green color is Mojito! Both will be available starting March.
  • Highline fenders are standard on all U.S. Rubicon. They are 2 inches higher than standard fenders.
  • 35’s fit the Rubicon without a lift and are package protected - axles can handle it, computers will compensate.
  • “New” D35 axle is stronger than previous D35 with thicker tubing and stronger end forgings.
  • Manual transmission is by Aisin - model D478
  • Red and silver dash trims on Rubicons are dictated by the interior color selected. Black interior gets red dash and tan interior gets black dash. Sahara gets silver dash or leatherette dash. Sport gets black dash.

I want the Sahara but I want a 2 door this time. Am I going to be able to spec out a sport s close to what the Sahara has?

So if I don't like the color of the tan seats, I'm stuck with the ugly red dash? Oh man...
