Default 2012 Colors and E85 on the Pentastar

Very very into the 2012 Unlimited. Ready to order except for color options. Since Natural Green is gone, hoping Black Forest Green or Winter Chill will do me right.

I've learned a lot from reading these forums and really appreciate all the knowledge. Still have a couple questions that I couldn't find solid answers for.

1. When are we expecting to see the 2012's on Jeep's website or see paint samples in dealers for the late availability colors?
2. I know the Pentastar on the Grand Cherokee has E85 (aka ethanol fuel or Flex Fuel) capability, but I'm not sure about the Wrangler. One dealer said that it does accept E85, but there's no documentation of this feature anywhere!

Any help is awesome!

There are color chips around the forum under a thread called 2012 colors. All Pentestars support E85.

The color swatches posted on here look like they've had some sort of scan issue on them. So they may be in the neighborhood, but I'd wait until the swatches are out on the real brochures next month. If you're going to go for Winter Chill it's not available right away anyway, so the wait shouldn't be too too bad.

Who wants 30% worse mileage from E85? do you still see subsidized prices in your area? With obama canceling the subsedies, my prices are now near regular gas.

That link for black forest green doesn't seem to be working for me. It does not seem green at all. In fact all samples of this color seem bogus.

Anyone know if is going to be darker or lighter than natural green?

Im warming up to dozer but im not sure I'll like it ten years from now. I want army or rescue green. Ill wait till october for that but not "wicked dark green"

Anyone have acurate info about blackforest green?,

Alright it looks green on my latop (not droid). I could live with that. I doubt benjamin moore's bf green is the same as jeeps. Thanks for the link though.

Since Sherwin Williams makes the colors, this could be close: http://www.myperfectcolor.com/en/col...8-Black-Forest.

Hey guys,
Are you certain the 2012 accepts E85? I was on another forum where they seemed to work out that it didn't. Something about how the injectors needed to be changed as well as the computer reflashed. One person had tried it and the jeeps tank needed to be emptied because it wouldn't run. I also believe the manual says it doesn't accept it. So my question is how certain are you that the 2012 accepts it? I don't want 30% horsepower loss but e85 on long island is more than 30% cheaper.
