Personally I want one, eventhough the back kinda looks like a H3.  I love the idea of functional arm rests and power windows, and they got rid of those always rusting hinges on the windshield.  If I had the money I might consider ditching my beloved YJ eventhough I lover her so.  I just wounder if the carpet comes out and how easily those "removable" fenders come off?

I like it but instead of ABS, OCS, ESP and other crap I'd like to see a telescoping steering column and more legroom around it. Looks like I'd be hitting my shins on the bottom edge of the dash again  :roll:. And get rid of those stupid adjustable headrests. I have yet to see one design where the headrest stays in place after you've adjusted it. Another  :roll: but otherwise  :wink:. At least the fenders can be trimmed without turning your Jeep into a rust bucket. :D

Hopefully there's a few wreckers in the first few years:P

Only thing I'd take is the hp 44 in the front with the crossover steering.

IMO, they are going to far towards soccer mom mall crawler crowds with gidgets and widgets.

ABS? booo, more stuff to break and spend tons of money on, and takes away from true driving feel, especially off road.

Power windows?............lol. Buy something that doesnt ride like a tank if you are looking for comfort (imho).

V6 with higher rpm requirements for the same torque and hp numbers? Junk. Not to mention the oil pan on it that nearly hits the ground, and the fact kj's dont get any better milage then tj's.

Auto disco swaybar, more gimmick that will fail after the first few runs with the slightest hint of mud.

I like it and dont like it at the same time. Although the seats in the back look like they are a lil more comfortable then in my tj :p

BJ...LMAO..... but hopefuly the JK stands for Just Kidding... I don't really like it. It had some really cool features like the HP44, comes stock with 32", removeable flares, the sectional hard top.............But it looks fugly,   the rear seats don't tumble like the bench... I'm trying to re-find the specs, but even on 32s, I don't think the ground clearance is much different than the Rubicon... But I guess the same thing happened when the first TJs came out :) lol It'll take some getting used to..... Just as long as it's trail rated.....

Here's the specs from jeep.com (no pricing yet)

Heres some real photos. Still looks like a TJ to me. The H3 is the impersonator

No Unlimited per say. It will become the 4 door when released after the new model comes out.
