Yep wondering the same thing now. My future delivery has been taken off post-build. Now just ramp compare inventory.

 

This is the same trans. that was used in the XK Jeeps for years, and possibly the WK Jeeps as well. It's not "new". I had one in '06 and I wasn't impressed with it (actually it was the wife's). If you want specs on it, just look up XK specs.

 

I think I read somewhere 9/1 is the big press release day where they introduce the 2012's. So got about 6 more weeks before we'll probably see anything official.

 

Might not be real time, but changes appear to be posted in a relatively timely manner. I even saw two updates at different times this morning. In Nitro Creek Yard. To be loaded on railcar Friday. I guess that is reason for Happy Hour on Friday.

The kicker is the Jeep will arrive at the dealership when I'm out of town. That's going to kill my kid.

 

JKers -

Since selling my 2008 JKU, i've been wanting to return to the fold...glad to say it will happen soon.

I've been reading about the new orders for the 2012 wranglers and the tread lightly discount. I have a CDI # that is good until the end of the year (we had a commander that nearly ended up as a buy-back, and GM corporate gave us the CDI # to use on our next vehicle purchase). I've researched and found this:

"The CDI extends Employee Pricing to the recipient of a CDI number. The Employee Pricing level is approximately 4% - 6% below factory invoice or 8% - 14% below MSRP, depending on the vehicle model being purchased. The customer will incur a $200 processing fee for using this incentive."

I was going to use it to get a 2011 at a deeper discount, but the pricing seemed to change at the dealer after they realized we had the CDI. Now I'm thinking of ordering a 2012 Rubicon and avoiding any haggle/hassle.

Anyone out there used a CDI lately? How much of a discount did you get? Thanks in advance for sharing...

 

No one said it's new ... It's been in use in high end Mercedes S-Class cars for years.
It's a major upgrade for the Wrangler.

 

Yeah I know, I posted that because there was a lot of speculation about what the gear ratios would be in this thread. All you gotta' do is look 'em up. It's not a new tranny.

 

True, but do ALL versions of this tranny use the exact same gears for ALL the models it's used in?

 

Ok so today I made an attempt to get some photos of some new jeeps on the lot at the plant. I found a parking lot full of Wranglers not sure if they were 11's or 12's. I did notice alot of matching colored hard tops. I parked in a lot across the street to take some pictures, and in a matter of seconds a security guard came out to ask what i was doing. I told him i was just turning around. The lot is on a hill and at most you can see the front row of the jeeps. I will attempt to go back out with my wife to snap some pics. It will probably be this weekend.

 

NICE ATTEMPT! Applause all around Gotta admit it's an odd form of voyeurism but one we're all dieing for.
