So... what do you think?! share your thoughts!!!
From: www.allpar.com:
The 2011 Jeep Wrangler (standard and Unlimited) can now be ordered from dealers in the United States (and possibly other nations).
All Wranglers have a revised interior, with a new instrument panel
, door trim, and rear cargo area surface. Jeep claims greater ease of use, ergonomics, and storage for the vehicle that has one Best 4×4 of the Decade (Four Wheeler).
New standard features for Sport models include steering wheel audio controls, cruise, and hill descent control.
The Sport S package now contains an AC outlet, automatic headlamps, and optional body-color hardtop.
There seems to be a new Connectivity Group available which includes the Vehicle Information Center, cellphone integration with voice commands, USB port, and, on the Sport package, a chrome/leather wrapped shift knob, for both the automatic and the manual. Automatic temperature control is now optional on Sahara and Rubicon.
The new Garmin 430N nav system is available for order on the Sahara and Rubicon (the 730N system does not appear to be available).
Colors at this time are Black (PX8), Bright Silver Metallic (PS2), Flame Red (PR4), Mango Tango (PVG), and Natural Green (PGN).
New Rubicon options are heated front seats and power mirrors.
All 2011 Jeep Wranglers have four wheel drive and a 3.8 liter V6 engine with a peak 202 horsepower and 237 lb-ft of torque, hill descent control, stability control, six-speed manual transmission, roll mitigation, six-speaker stereo with input jack, full-length floor console, outside temperature display, rear window defroster and wiper, tilt wheel, fog lamps
, tow hooks, theft deterrent key, and skid plates for the transfer case, gas tank, and, for automatics, transmission oil pan.
The base model is Sport; the S package adds air conditioning, larger wheels, leather-wrapped steering wheel, and deep tinted glass. Higher models are the Saraha and more-off-road-oriented Rubicon.
The Sport and Sahara models have Command-Trac 4×4, which has both a high and low range that split torque evenly between front and rear axles (for loose surfaces only). The main difference between Command-Trac and the Rock-Trac (on Rubicon) is the low gear: it multiplies torque by 2.72 on regular models and by 4 on Rubicon.
This simple, proven system is fuel efficient in two wheel drive mode, can be shifted to four wheel drive (high) at speeds up to 54 mph, and, in low gear, allows crawl ratios as low as 73:1.

When they were "asking Jeep owners" what they'd like to see on new models, did ANYONE list this junk??

I love audio controls on the wheel, but they don't belong on my Jeep.
There needs to be LESS to go wrong or be vulnerable to the elements.
How 'bout they put some money where it really matters to those that live and love the Jeep lifestyle:
fix the inadequate auto trans cooling
fix the mirrors holding water
fix the leaky hard and soft tops
fix the diverter that pours water in with the door open
fix the clunk in the steering column
offer better gear ratios in non-Rubi models
fix the puny-ass tailgate that can't even support the weight of the factory spare
dispense with all the silly-ass badging and stickers - WE know it's Jeep
HONOR THE FRACKING LIFETIME POWERTRAIN WARRANTY ON 2008 AND 2009 JKs!!!
and the list goes on.....
Sheesh. They truly have capitulated to the mallcrawling soccer parent set. (I see Unlimited JKs ALL THE TIME at travel soccer tournaments.)
Do they also offer latté warmers to go along with the ass heaters?
