Dyno for 3.6 http://www.wk2jeeps.com/wk2_engines.htm

There is a good difference from 3.8.
Seems like it will be alot better on the highway and towing.

But seriously, after doing some more searching (now that I'm home for work and properly full of beer) Winter Chill Pearl has the paint code PBA in OEM, looking at a few websites, it looks like it's PPG code 4348, and its used in a lot of early 90's Chrysler vehicles.

I found a website with a swatch, I'm sure it'll be a little different, but google "normandy blue PBA" and it'll be the 2nd link, with the eagle touch up paint. (holy cow, remember Eagle?) I think posting a link is against the rules. :P It looks like, at least according to the website, like that greyish blue that was available a few years ago...

Try this for the Normandy blue?? Who knows. Guess I am just as curious about the new colors as everyone else.

Out of curiosity, anyone know when they typically will assign a VIN to a new order? Would assume it won't be until around July 25 production start for the '12s but can/does that occur earlier in the ordering stage or not until near actual assembly?

To verify, is tomorrow (Thursday the 16th) the last day to order to be in the first batch of production or was today? Particularly interested in ordering Natural Green before the cut off. None of the local dealers want to negotiate and take forever to return my calls only to wait longer for more returned calls. So far my buying experience is horrible.
