Wonder what a Rhino will look like. If it's a flat gray without the blue hue of Anvil I'm going to be upset. That's what I wanted both Anvil and Granite to be.
Rumors are rumors, but one of the current ones is that FCA is over its minimum fleet mileage requirements for the 2015 MY, so its attempting use up of some of that overage, and build more 2015 Wranglers against it. Remember, Wranglers pull down its overage average, but bring in a nice profit.
Just when I think I am getting close to buying a Jeep I get hit with news of Rhino being a possible color in 2016. I don't even know what that is, but I am intrigued. This puts me in between a rock and a hard place though. The color I love, Anvil, is being discontinued, but the color I might love isn't even out yet.
Didnt I read on a thread somewhere that the drive train warranty was reduced from 100k to 60k for the 2016? Seems like the most pressing reason to decide between a '15 or '16.
Almost ordered tank.....would have been nice to have a rare color.......but didnt have the patience to wait...bought black off the lot. Which makes me crazy keeping it clean, but I still love it.

I was looking at two Willys before I made my order. One was yellow and the other was Hydro. Both had some options I wanted, but not all of them. At 40 years old, it won't be my first new vehicle, but it will be the first one I ordered and with all the options I wanted.

I saw a Jeep Renegade in Mojave Sand while at the local Jeep dealership yesterday. I was hoping it was going to be lighter and flatter looking. I still really dig the color, but just a few observations. I still love the look of a Bright White Wrangler with a soft top!
I think its going to be a nice color, but people describing Mojave Sand as being identical to the older Sahara Tan, are the only ones who might be in for a disappointment.
What does Jeep consider "late availability?" Hopefully it just means it will not be available when the 2016 Jeeps launch. I am waiting on a 2016 and will be deciding between Bright White, Mojave Sand and maybe Rhino [If it actually becomes a reality]
Although I'm sad to see they are not brining back Rescue Green Metallic as had been previously rumored, I am really stoked to see the return of Granite. That is one drop dead sexy color on a Wrangler!
One dealer I spoke to says 2016 Wrangler ordering to start first week of August.
