Be good to see the order guide once released with retail vs. dealer pricing. Don't forget that factory orders are easier for the dealer as well (allotments not effected, clawback, and a lot of other crap I don't really understand).
I did not push too much on the JL pricing. I too am 100%...
WA - Ferry to Vancouver (was a good idea)
There is NO ferry from WA State to Vancouver...INTO Victoria, YES, and then you would need to take another to get off the island (unless there is a kick ass snorkel involved) but not the Mainland...just drive on up the I-5.
WA State ferry - Anacortes...
Hey, that is my wish as well....gator diesel. So we'll see what late availability means this time around...I only had to wait 5 months after initial order for our 2.0 JL
I was there also and sat in about 40 vehicles. Only the JT felt 'solid' everything else felt cheap and plastically.
I also drive a 2013 Mitsu Outlander, which I love. 100k kms, and 0 issues, and even the new model of that was a POS to be honest.
... waiting for diesel gator, so maybe next...
