Today I was messing around at the official Jeep site and noticed that in the "Build Your Own" section that the 2011 in the 2010|2011Wrangler Unlimited title was a link. When I clicked it the page refreshed and the heading was now 2011|2010 Wrangler Unlimited. Hmmm... So I built a Rubicon and no white and no half doors at all were selectable.
Fast-forward a couple hours and a call to the sales manager, who assured my wife that white would never be eliminated. He also told her that the next allocation date is October 13th, 8 days from now. Then we'll find out if half doored Wranglers are going to be built. He also said that if we decide on full doors, he give us dealer cost on the half doors whenever we decided we wanted them.
All this uncertainty should make the wait after it's ordered no big deal.
EDIT (...some time later...) Just talked to the manager. He said that the half doors at dealer cost would be too much money, at least $900 each. He assured me again that white will be a color and he still thinks half doors will be available too. I asked him if no half doors were available on the 13th, should we wait until the next allocation date? He said he thought that if they didn't allocate them this month, they probably wouldn't for the model year. This is not good. Well, my son and I were talking about WRXs today, maybe I'll have to change the name of this blog...
