When I showed up at the dealer, they had just brought it around from the prep area in the rear. It was parked out front in full sun. I gotta tell you, it's brighter than any fire engine. It is really, really bright red.

Nothing. This baby is destined for nothing more rigorous than mall crawling. LOL
Actually, we may take it on some graded dirt roads in Joshua Tree, but that will probably be the extent of it. OTOH, I'm now thinking we're going to want to do some Sierra/Nat'l park road trips just to have the chance to drive in the mountains (albeit, paved roads).
We really bought the Jeep as a fun weekend 3rd car - specifically, a convertible. Because of the popularity of SUVs, lifted trucks, and of course Jeeps of every flavor, having a regular, low slung convertible sports car was becoming a bit dangerous. Now, we're sitting sky high, we have the full roll cage, and it's a complete blast riding around with the top/windows down. The visibility is amazing - I can't think of even one blind spot.
Truly an amazing, fun car to drive.

We drove from Miami down to the Keys (Islamorada) last week for a quick long week-end. I don't think I've ever seen so many Jeeps - not just every 10th car, but sometimes one Jeep following another. I kept telling my wife there must be a Jeep rental in Key West. It didn't seem possible that so many people have Jeeps.Right?! My first order was red..second order is granite. What to do?
That being said, SE FL seems like the right place for a really bright color like red, or even better, yellow. My wife actually wanted to get the yellow (we saw one at the LA show in Dec), but we went with red after finding out the yellow wouldn't be available until later.
If you plan on really loving your Jeep, then you you might want to think about what color you'd choose if you could choose any color you want. IMO, for the Sport or Rubi, I like bright, bold, crazy colors. OTOH, I saw a white premium JL Sahara with matching color hard top in the wild yesterday, and it looked really good. I think black and/or grey would also look really good on the Sahara; again with matching color hard top.
But, of course, everyone needs to get what they want, not what somebody else likes or prefers. Good luck on your decision!
