She will have to be stuck in a sea of boring gray colors, but at least save us some money on disposition fees and loyalty cash.

For me it is listed on the website, but the preview is broken and it does not show up in the builder.

I don't see it at all on the website, that's so weird. Just in the brochure that is posted. I am confused as to why they would have listed it on the order sheets last month and the month before, but removed it entirely now. It's like how they took away detonator yellow because of a shortage of materials or something.

Even if you ordered now you'd still likely wait until February or longer to receive it.

That's fine, as we have other cars as options, but we don't want to wait if they're not going to make it at all.

Take everything everybody tells you with a grain of salt. Nobody is really sure what’s going on with the colors everybody’s guessing. I was told Mojito was for 2018 only and has been discontinued for 2019. PS I’m driving my 2019 Mojito wrangler. Bikini is coming don’t give up hope. the latest order guide still says it’s “late availability” which many believe to be next year but who knows. The website is notoriously problematic buggy and full of misinformation. the order guide however has been on point.

Mojito was a late availability color for 18 and I don't believe they started making them until April or May of this year.

Supposedly Bikini is a "late availability" color. So it might be in the next month, or summer 2019. All depends on how long you want/can wait. If its been popping up on the build web pages, I would assume it is still coming, maybe not as early as some would like.

Late availability is usually in the spring

I wouldn’t read too much into the online. Holder and order guide. They are inconsistent.

Some late availabilty colors have never shown up. But nobody knows for sure and it is way too early to tell.

I can tell you a lot of people in 2018 gave up on hella Yella but then it came out

I'm sorry your wife isn't likely getting the color she wants.

I'm also kinda sorry that this post's title doesn't represent themes more consistent with this picture:
