As a fellow tan and earth color lover I sympathize with you. I was hoping the JL would be available in something similar to Gobi.
Its worse because there isn't much hope of seeing on in a decent color (imo) any time soon, as the ones the have been announced are already "late availability."
I suppose we may see some special editions or whatever in the second half of the year, but I was ready to buy one. Told the dealer that i got my last two from to pull the first gobi one for me when it arrives and call me so I can come see and probably scoop it up. Then they called and said gobi was discontinued for the new ones. crushed.

I'm still waffling between Punk'n, Mojito, and Ocean. I hope they have more 'late availability' colored jeeps at the NAIAS in Detroit later this month. If so, the timing would be great in terms of ordering Punk'n or Ocean ... to be available in Feb.

I'll post pics of any new colors at that show.
They already showed yellow and green in LA and you can't get them. If they show orange and blue in Detroit, it probably won't mean much. I don't get it. Looking forward to your pics anyway. Thanks

They already have 4 shades of gray: white, billet, granite, and black, as well as red, green, and blue. Sting-gray should've been an earth tone (and orange isn't it).

Timing (for me at least):
If those colors are at the auto show, I will be able to make up my mind and place an order near the beginning of February, and receive my JL by the end of February. If they are not at the show, I will have to wait until some time in March for those colors to start showing up at dealerships, then decide on a color, then order, then wait until April to receive my JL. Seeing them at the auto show would mean receiving my JL at least 1.5 months sooner than waiting for them to arrive at dealerships.

What no one has viewed:
There are currently no pics of the blue or orange ... only artists renderings. Orange and blue will be available in early February...a week or two after the auto show ends. I saw pics of the green via LA, but my wife may be swayed if she sees it in person. Green will be available in early March.

BUT, I might still have to wait if those colors are not displayed at the show.

I have not seen anything official that Orange and Blue will be available in early February. Do you have a source?

I haven't heard anything about Sting Gray. I think the color to be rolled out with Mojito was Nacho, but I'm not certain.

Lots of grey tones.. but their initial limited palate all but forced me to order Red, my current is white and my other jeep black so those were out.... I’m actually excited about red.... second runner would have been ocean blue.....IMHO, they need a golbi type color and I’d love to see a dark green.

From people I've talked to (@FCA), I'm hearing ocean blue is supposed to be this month and Mojito is supposed to be February. So it is pretty much in line with what I've heard.

Nacho available already???? According to the Jeep.com locator and the inventory at a local dealer in Rhode Island, there is a Nacho JL in-transit.

Well according to a factory worker, who frequents another forum some of us are on, said he saw a yellowish color running consistently a while back. He asked and was confirmed it was nacho. Guess this is some proof. It's not in the ordering system yet thought right?

I've read March-ish for Punk'n... Does that still hold up?
