What do you hope to see Jeep change in the 2012 Wranglers? New interior? What colors? New Motors? V8? Diesel?
I believe some of the interior will change for the 2012’s, not sure how this will affect the interior accessories for the 2011’s as they are different than the 2007-2010’s. Although it doesn’t appear that we will see the V8 this year it may happen in the future. According to Sam Smith of MSN Autos, the CEO of Jeep, Michael Manley, has been testing a JK with a Hemi V8. You can read Sam’s article on this here.
The 2011’s have some pretty neat colors, like Mango Tango, Cosmos Blue, Flame Red, Deep Cherry, Sahara Tan, Natural Green. and then your standards, Black, White, Silver. I sure hope the Cosmos Blue and the Mango Tango are around for awhile. I think they are some neat colors in the sunlight. Hopefully Jeep will release the colors for the 2012’s in the next few months.
Have you read on the forums of the diesel Wranglers cruising around Michigan sporting the CRD badge? Well rumor has it that they are just testing them here before shipping them overseas. They have at least built and developed the entire setup which is a step in the right direction for us to hopefully get one.
That brings the toughest question I think, RIPP Supercharged 3.8L V6, Hemi V8, or CRD Diesel. Which would you like to have the most. The RIPP Supercharged V6’s are making just as much power as the Hemi V8’s and at a 500 lb increase and 5 times the cost the Supercharged 3.8L seems like a good option. To me the real toss up is the CRD or the RIPP 3.8L. All this being said the 2012’s are suppose to get the Pentstar 3.6L V6 which makes more power than the 3.8L. More power is one thing the new Jeeps need for sure. We will have to see how they perform and hope that RIPP is able to get one and get a supercharger built for it.
