These are just today. I'm sure more will come.

Swept back windscreen, longer bonnet, wider front fenders. Should be interesting. I wonder if they phased out the fold down windscreen for this model?

It would be a shame if they do. JK windscreen is a lot sweptback compared to TJ, but still fold down . Hopefully, they keep the middle hinge on windscreen. Removable doors as well.

A lot of it is covered with the wrap. Running JK Rubicon rims.

Engine specs?

Yeah would be an end to a long tradition of fold down windscreens, but it's a pain in the ass trying to fold the JK one down. So I reckon a load of people wouldn't really miss it, only traditionalists really
Engines just the same probably, 3.6L V6 and a diesel for north america (no change here since we get that any ways).

I've never folder the windscreen on JK, actually now I can't as windshield lights hinder it. But, it's the tradition and ability to, if I wanted to.

Probably the only modern production vehicle left with external hinges on doors and windscreens.

Engine might be 3.6l, but it's being tweaked to generate a little more power and transmission would be 8 speed.

Some more photos, fenders look a bit narrower in height.

Yeah, I have been reading about the 2.0l engine. Historically YJ and TJ used to have a 4 cyl engine but mainly for US market only. JK was the one with no 4 cyl option.

I think they should put a turbo option on Pentastar too.... would be great fun and base 290 go.

I also think new Cherokee is better suited for hybrid option with its unusual shape and the amount gizmos onboard.

No manual transmission, but a 3 speed transfer case.

That's an interesting idea. I'm not sure about the ZF transmission though.
