A friend has a '12 that I finally got to drive and I was pretty impressed. Compared to my '07 it feels like I'm driving a sports car. It's definitely quicker and handles much better, but...it doesn't feel like a wrangler, it feels like a grand cherokee. Not a bad thing at all because it drives awesome, but I expected to immediately want one after I drove it and I didn't. Very impressive overall, but not enough to make me want one. Probably a good thing.
