I am disappointed that this is a not so special Special Edition.....I had a 48 Willy's and was excited to hear about a Special Edition Willy's.....at least add flat fenders or side mount tire or Willy's tailgate....something besides a sticker.

What a waste of the name Willys. Absolutely not worth it and kind of a desperation move milking the current iteration of the JK. What a shame - if it had flat fenders and green body and wheel paint at least I'd consider upgrading my '10.

The 3.73s and limited slip are cool considering all the other special editions are just paint and logos

How did this guy get a job as marketing manager for Jeep. It's not pleasant listing to this guy explain the line up of Jeeps at the LA show.

Shows half doors, wonder if it comes with them also.
People complain about the dragon and other new special editions that they don't have offroad performance mods. This one atleast does and ur still complaining.
I think it's a decent model and at a good price point for a "special edition" anything.

If it has all the same options that you can get on a Sport and you can get it in any color then why is it special? tow strap and stickers....that's it. I am not saying I don't like it, I am saying that if you are going to use the iconic Willys name then it deserves more respect.

People are having a hard time of understanding, for basically the price of a Sport S package with LSD and 3.73 gears (Which most of you bought anyway), you're also getting the 32" wheels and tires package, Rubi suspension bits, and rails, for FREE. How the hell is this not a good thing?! You can also get it in any color you want...
