maybe i am wrong but these two models look like they are sahara's. and sahara's have the matching fender flares and a some what more luxury interior to begin with. so i don't have a prolem with the color matched top because more than likely it'll be a sahara add on. same with the interior. and i'm sure alot of people will build their own and change what they don't like. isn't what we do to them anyways
that' why we buy jeeps and spend a life time and go broke putting money into what we as jeepers like
am i wrong

OK - My opinion - but I'm 99% sure I'm right 
This is most definitely a Sahara-level trim.
There will still be the Sport, Sahara and Rubicon trim levels. (I have a 2007 X, boo hoo)
Sport and Rubicon will be available in monochromatic interior colors, "Dark Slate Gray" probably.
And as I mentioned in another thread on this forum, we all have amnesia; see the 97-02 TJ Sahara interior:
I personally like it. I have a feeling Chrysler in an effort to improve build quality did away with the crappy plastic interior in favor of more "soft touch" materials... which will still probably be as durable as the old hard plastic and won't scratch if you look at them the wrong way! As soon as the 2011s hit the lots here in Pittsburgh, I'll snap some pics. The dash cluster and layout is a little more friendly, and hey - it's nice to have a more comfortable interior for longer trips. I'm sure the power-train and tranny will go largely unchanged for 2011, and the exterior will probably be the same as the 07-10 models based on what I've seen. 2012 is supposed to bring the Pentastar; a friend and I test drove a 2011 Grand Cherokee and it was pretty peppy. I won't object to having a little more muscle under the hood, though a V8 or Hemi would be nice (and preferable to most on this forum) too.

We have an 08. The only gripe with the interior is that is no where to really rest your elbows but it has a lot of rugged character. The new door panel is nice.
NOW HOW ABOUT A BETTER ENGINE / TRANNY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Geez they'd probably sell twice as many jeeps if it had a 240 HP / 5 spd auto even with the old interior... with new door panels

wow, lot of interest on this post.
just was checking out at the dealer - not bad. I like my 08 better - more rugged looking. I do want to change my shifter knob at some point to look more like that and also get netting for below the ac controls.
this will broaden appeal for jeep new buyers, but the doors are too car like now. I do like the stearing wheel and controls on it.

The new interior is great looking, but completly not matching the outer rough non curved configuration of the wrangler also not matching the use of such offroader, if i need confort i would better buy a regular SUV or a .. Hummer

I like the door panels and thats about it. I'm afraid the wrangler is slowly losing its bare bones - basic off road design... Glad I got my 08 when I did.. Though I could always get some 2011 doors in a few years.. ha
