Looking at Milous' spreadsheet:

Only the Sahara's get Heavy Duty Suspension as a standard feature?

I thought that was standard on the Rubi only.

Rubicon gets "Performance Suspension".

Don't know the difference, but it doesn't get the standard suspension the sport gets.

I believe that the standard on the Saharas will be the same 18" wheels that have come on it in the past. The optional 18" wheels are the ones that came on the 70th anniversary edition.

I jumped on the first version of the JK in late 2006, I am not going to do that again. I made too many trips back to the dealer for recalls, etc. I am waiting until after the middle of the model year before I get into a 2012. Give them a couple months to iron out any bugs and the dealer lots to fill up so I can get a better deal.

First, I don't think that this is really a "new" version - it is all the same, except for an engine that now has a year under its belt in other models. Second, you won't get a better deal later than the Tread Lightly discount. Wait if you'd like, but your reasoning seems to be based on the all-new-model premise not an evolution model like the 2012. The all new model was the original JK.

No shit, I am soooo glad these guys are jumping in early and can get us a bunch of reviews. Then I can trade up...

Couple quick questions...

Has it been confirmed if the unlimited is getting any more tow capacity than the 3500 lbs?

Is the connectivity group worth it in your opinion? I've seen quite a few posts of people ordering their '12s, but I don't think I've seen anyone with it. Just wondering if it is worth it, as I've also been reading the ipod USB doesn't really work. So is the VIC worth the ~$400?

Thanks
