As much as I want to see the JT in Hella Yella, Mojito, or Punkin, FCA is probably going to ruin it by only offering Red, Black, White, and three different types of gray/silver for the first year.
New article says they got insider info that the truck will start at $45k...

The passenger side fog light looks like the standard Sahara silver shroud, but the driver does appear different. I'd bet its camera angle and they're using a Sahara bumper. The grill looks like a Sport non accented grill. Still a parts bin monstrosity, although, they could uncover everything...

The TRD Pro comes in at a very reasonable $43K and the ZR2 (with diesel) isn't far behind at $47k. FCA has already said the Gladiator will be intentionally expensive and I'm sure peeps will throw a fit if they can get a Rubicon truck for cheaper than they can get a 4 Door. My money...
And that's the kicker for Jeep right there. People are getting tired of being strung along waiting for Jeep/Chrysler/FCA to release the unicorn and are moving on.
Interesting that the render has a key hole in the lower left of the tailgate. Is this a hint at a JL style swinging gate? Or a multi fold down swing gate? I'm fairly convinced that Jay is receiving these "renderings" from Jeeps designers or works for Jeep. HAHAHA. The final JL renderings were...
