Agree.. The Rubicon is a well outfitted vehicle but it's more than I wanted. I do not need nor want the bells and whistles. When I went in to buy mine the salesman thought I was insane. Told him I wanted manual windows and locks. The less electronics the better in my mind as I live in PNW where it can be sunny all day, pour rain for 10 minutes, then back to sunny. While I do plan on using a bikini top in the summer (once I get it) that still won't keep 100% of the rain out. Also, less electronics, less to go wrong...The Sport S I'm getting is $10k less than a Rubicon. It still will have std. a/c, p/w, p/l, alloys, and $3,500 worth of options including. trailer tow, ltd slip,, all terr.tires, alpine system, xm radio, deluxe top, even adding the Rubicon optional steel bumpers for an additional $2k brings the total to about $10k less than a Rubicon. I'm not going off road and I don't need such low gearing and rock-climbing suspension and tires, and I don't want the luxury features of an Escalade either.
I don't rock crawl and I wanted something capable of moderate off-roading which any of the Jeeps are more than capable of...
It's a to each their own kind of thing. All the models offer something for someone. Want creature comforts? You can get them. Want a stripper? You can get it too.... The only options my Unlimited has is automatic, hardtop and anti-spin differential. Those were the only options I wanted.
