Someone got a short spy vid of the JL being started up and there's some pics of the soft top

Don’t like that high pitched sound in there. Worse than the clacking & ticking of the 2012 Pentastars.

Those wheels are better. Sounds like a 368 hp turbo!

I was at a light next to a car today... when the light turned green the car engine next to me turned on to go... I thought of the JL. That JL startup sound will occur at every stop sign. I couldn't take it.

You can just press a button to make it all go away...

Press the button.. every single time you get in the car.. no. This is a MAJOR inconvenience to the consumer and should be addressed with the JL. I have a Cherokee and the delay in starting, as well as added vibrations due to starting is obnoxious and should have a DEFAULT OFF setting!

The soft top looked far better on the 2 door JL Rubi spotted a while ago. Also those wheels look horrible in my opinion

The soft top looks really loose and lumpy. I don't like it. Hope the hardtop looks better than that

I deeply doubt they’d allow such a terrible noise to make it thru engineering

Hopefully someone comes out with a license plate relocation bracket. I don't like the bumper placement. Hopefully it can be moved up on the tailgate easily. I'd hate to have to drill holes in a new vehicle.

I agree. On public property it's fair game.

I'm having a hard time believing the ESS will work with the manual transmission. I'm sure it could be done, but that it would be awkward. Any guesses? My bet is that the manual comes without it. That's a feature I'll be shutting off until AEV or someone comes up with a programmer that disables it.

I'm sure there will be a hack for it.
