Here's what the new charcoal color might look like. These are from a JK limited at SEMA 2007:

Pretty cool color IMO, but I'm still partial to Red Rock Pearl.

I was really pissed that they got rid of the Jeep Green, but I think Jeep just redeemed themselves. Short of matte black/green as a factory option, this is the way I'm going.

Brochure's take a while and probably won't be shipped for another month or two. Suggest checking the web site for update's and send for one.

The Rescue and Jeep Green were my favorites and I too was sorry to see them go. The Charcoal may be my new favorite. I am not sure what the new Natrual Green is suppose to be and I will reserve judgment until I see it. What I really wish Jeep would do is a Military Style Olive Green. I would be all over that in a second.

2010 Jeeps are not yet in production. The Wranglers being built now are 2009 models.

Check out this article from the Toledo Blade:

"When workers return, Mr. Gates, said they will continue making 2009 model year vehicles “for a short time” before switching over to 2010 models."

That being said, I will post some pix of one of the new colors later tonight or tomorrow.

I am not sure the article says what you think it says. The article is about Nitro and Liberty not Wrangler. Typically, Wrangler production model year switch over occurs the end of July and the next years production starts by August. Also, on July 3rd the same Toronto Blade quoting Jerry Snodgrass said, "He said he already has submitted a large order for 2010 Wranglers, which will go into production in about three weeks." If you do the math adding the 3 weeks to July 3rd, that exactly matched Wranglers normal model year change over at the end of July. So I think we are actually in production of 2010 Wranglers since its August now. It would typically be the second or third week of August before the new models typically show up on dealer lots; however, given the low inventory on Wranglers right now I was speculating that the 2010s would likely show up sooner rather than later, hence the thread.

That charcoal does look pretty sweet.
Favorite color for me was the Rescue Green.
That is until I saw the Sunburst Orange, that color just absolutely did it for me and I had to have one.
