It's all relative. Versus conventional expectations (based on years driving a JK with a minivan motor), the 2012 is MUCH more impressive than a P-car, an AMG, or a crotch-rocket.

Here's mine ...

But I agree. The 12 is a major improvement over my 07. And hopefully with less leaks, pings and knocks.

Actually, according the Motor Trend a Nissan Versa does 0-60 in 10.2 seconds. That same publication says that a 2-dr auto 2012 JK does 0-60 in 6.7 seconds. Even the JK with the mini-van engine is faster than a Versa.

I believe my '12 JKUR Auto with 4.10s is quicker to 60 than my '09 Ram CC with the Hemi was, no joke. Now above 60 there's no comparison, Ram hands down.

well as a pilot myself......the cessna 172s i fly blow away my 2012 sport lol Jeeps are more like tanks than jets or aircraft in general

I won't go as far as the OP calling it a jet, but the difference between my 2012 and the 2010 I just traded is night and day. (Both 2drs and 3.73's)

Until my friend regears his 2012 Rubi , my 2010 Rubi with 5.38's accelerates faster!! Sad face!!!!

I've had cars which were much faster, but I've never had anything that pulled so hard all the way to redline. I'm sold on the VVT.

If they put a turbo on it and stuck it in a lightweight sports car chassis it would be amazing. Maybe bring back the Talon ...

I remember the talon in 1993 and my Slow ass ford probe was neck and neck with that.
Just sorry to say that most of these new jeeps seem to have reving power. Don't get me wrong It's great with the HP and such.
I wish they would go more toward a stock Rubi crawler in the True Wrangler 2 door with super crawling ability like a willys, and keep the tradition alive with awesome 4 wd durability.
Put the heated and cooled seats, with flat screens and all the luxury crap in the 4 door. That way my grandpa won't be rolling in his grave of how jeep is turning out like a FJ or a darn hummer wanna be.
Sorry but I think some things should stay like they were originally created to be.
