just got back from trying to order my rubicon and the dealer showed me an email stating the steel blue and rescue green colors are out and theyre being replaced by sunburst orange and deep water blue...sometime in mid year 09..so i gotta order my rubi before april 9th

 

cool i think i'm gona like the blue and orange, i'm not a huge fan of the steel blue and rescue green no offense* but who am i

 

...damn...I was planning on ordering mine in Rescue Green in the spring. Wonder when pictures of the new colors will surface the net...hmm

I dont know about the Sunburst Orange. It seems to be played out..I cant drive a day without seeing a dozen or so Grand Ams or Grand Prixs in that shade. Loved it at one time...just seems like too flashy of a color to be so common on the road. Just IMO tho. But Deep Water Blue might be a winner.

 

Nope, bad decision. Steel blue is the best color they make!

 

Sorry to hear either color go away

 

I agree I really like the steel blue. I would have got it but I really wanted the hardtop and mine was the only one with the other options I wanted in a 100 mile radius.

 

"sometime in mid year 09."

Is it really 09 or is it 08? That is over a year away and the 09s would have been out for a while. Are these 2010 colors? or am I just missing something?

Need to get my ass in gear and order my steel blue unlimited behind my wife's back I guess.

 

Orange might be a cool color. Sort of nostalgic.

 

Deep water blue? Does anybody have an idea of WHAT kind of blue this would be? Dark, light, existing color?

I just ran this through Google, and Nissan had "Deep Water Blue" in 2006 on the Nissan Armada. And "Sunburst Orange" is on the 2008 Saturn VUE. Now I'm wondering where the email came from. Would Jeep be able to just copy the color names, or are they trademarked?

 

If its the same orange that was available on the TJs I think that will be awesome.
I always liked the orange TJs.
