Hope those side mirrors aren't that big in final production.

It looks like the solid front axle is gone in favor of IFS. I'm glad I got a 2015.

They are disguised. Look at the pics from the rear. You can see the approximate real shape.

How can you tell its IFS, if anything it looks like its still a straight axle

You can see how slanted the new windshield will be

I'm quite happy I got a 2015 because I couldn't have waited three years to buy a new car. But I wouldn't mind an aluminum alloy body and Bluetooth that works half as well as a cheap aftermarket HU.

OTOH the windshield rake looks kind of ... well non-awesome.

I guess the good news is, Wrangler resale value is astronomical so if I totally decide I have to have the new one when it comes out, I can probably trade my 2015 in and not lose much in the process.

That's what I thought too. Also looks like the grill (as well as windshield) is sloped to the rear?

Could be. Or for the grill it could be the bumper holding the camo out further. Hard to tell, really...could go either way.
