So they had a color that they didn't start building until several months into the model year, then discontinued before the model year was over anyway?

The dealer here in Austin has one. As they put it, either it will sell super quick or it will be here until Christmas.

There was one I was considering buying. One dealer had 6 jeeps identical except for color, black, red, sting gray, orange & 2x billet's. When I went down to the dealer I had it pretty much narrowed down to the sting gray or orange. Ended up leaving without a truck that day & bought a red one equipped almost the same 2 days later for 7k less. Every time I see a punking JL or JT now it gets my attention & I kinda wish I had bought it.

I'm dumbfounded by their strategy. They show a worldwide Super Bowl commercial of their new jeep in a particular color, and then discontinue it two weeks after that Super Bowl ad ran. Not only that, but their Mojave gladiator has orange stitching for their interior, but discontinue that exact color. I breaks my brain that people could make this kind of decision.

Honestly a lot of the decisions confuse me. I mean, why NOT offer the entire color palette that, at least, Jeep has (if not all of FCA) if the customer wants it? I get assembly line simplicity and all that, but if they can offer a dozen colors for the Wrangler they must have figured it out. I also understand with the initial launch only offering a few of the most popular colors to sort of just get the trucks out the door and into the market, but by now they should be good.

And while I'm on a rant, I shouldn't have to choose a bed cover just to get the dual top option!

Still waiting for Sarge Green before I place my order.....yeah right.......
