The choice of red and the other color on the Sahara was inappropriate and did not show lines and features JL properly.

The rear seat looks really comfortable now with bolsters. Kind of a bench/bucket hybrid.

Looks like it leans back more now too, which was always a complaint from my rear passengers.

Was really hoping for a red leather interior. Why does Jeep still bother with brown and green?

Rubicon is incredible but you will be getting bent over a barrel for it.

Sahara is gorgeous; I'd love to see it launch an independent suspension luxury version as a Wagoneer with power sliding top and removable windows.

Looks awesome! Can anyone confirm whether or not the Sport comes with the vented hood? If not, think there's a way to add it?

It's doubtful. If you notice in the accessories description of the hood decals...

"Vehicle graphics: New Mopar hood graphics (for Wrangler Sport) include a 1941 design marking the Jeep brand’s birth and an American-flag-themed option. Bodyside graphics for all trim levels include a subtle 1941 stripe and a Moab-inspired off-road silhouette."

Did we know previously that the Rubicon was going to come with all terrains? Or is that likely equipped with some sort of winter package?

I had trouble with the overhead view. The angle was making it hard for me so I just rotated and zoomed in. On the side view, it was pretty clear to me there was a (dark) reddish dash accent. I think we've seen something like that before.

Are those GPS antennas up on top of the sport bar?

Looks like GPS & Sirrius.

Ok, that pic of the 2 door has moved me away from Granite Crystal Metallic to Firecracker Red. I'm also going to have to go with the painted fenders. Dang it! That pic cost me money

I'll make a final decision tomorrow morning on the color, but the pic put white into play, as well. Red just look fun. Man o man, I wish they had a bright blue. It would be killer on that Rubi.

I noticed there wasn't a standard antenna on the photos. As stated in a previous post... looks like antennas have been relocated to the crossbar

Has it also been confirmed that Jeep is doing away with the padding on the roll cage? Or did they just do that to make the picture look more aesthetically appeasing?

It's gone. There hasn't been any padding spotted on any of the prototypes' roll cages either.

Metal Antenna for AM/FM are still the same, just unscrewed, like a lot of Jeep PR photos.

I like the grab handle on the 2-door A-pillar.

New to this particular Forum, but not new to Jeep. Hello Gentlemen (& Ladies). Comments over the past months on the various JL topics very interesting. In fact, it helped me decide to buy a used 2016 Hydro Blue JKU Sahara several months ago to add to my small collection (2005 Red TJ Rocky Mountain with half doors and a 2016 Red Jeep Renegade for my wife). Will consider the JL sometime late in 2018 after all of this gets straightened out, the bugs get worked out, and the prices and options set. Nevertheless, my reservations are already made for November 30th to LA to see the JL in person on Dec 1st. The two-door Rubi reminds me of my TJ and looks very promising; I thought the 2 door JK looked "bloated" compared to the TJ and I am glad to see they have worked on that with the fenders and such. Jury still out on JKU Sahara until I see it in person. BTW, anyone notice there are no apparent windshield bolts for adding driving lights near the A pillar? I'm sure the aftermarket is already trying to figure that out. Keep up the good work everyone and congrats to those of you who had the JL pretty much pegged.
