Default 09 release dates?

Hi there,
when does DC release the new model year?
I'm researching an 08 JK and wondering if the 09s are around the corner?
tnx

They start building them around the last week in July. So I guess any that make it to the dealers would be early August.

I think they start showing up on the Jeep web site around early June.

What is the usual cycle for a minor model refresh? I would like to see the changes in what will be offered and which shortcomings might be addressed.

Sorry boys, no new engine and no diesel engine for 2009 JK.

About the only changes are the Hill Start Assist.
