im not sure about the new rubicon wheels, i have to agree with what was said above, it gets away some of that "rubi" caracter. as far as the new seat, i don't like them either, i think they are more and more taking the rugged look away from the wrangler in favor of a sports utility look, the seats just don't seem in their place in a JK. plus i have tried then in a GC and i found them really uncomfortable. just my .02
On a positve note, I'm quite excited about the new colors, can't wait to see them.

Im pretty sure that they will just be changing the materials and looks of the seats. The seat brackets and such will be the same. I doubt the back seat will recline. If it did, they would definately make it a selling point, and theres nothing mentioned about it in the features page.
IMO, the Rubicon's blood has always run through the 5 star Moab wheels. I think that they are taking away alot of the "Rubicon" with the new style wheels. They kinda look like a version of the Altitude wheels.
That being said, I do like the added interior lights. My late built Rubicon will have the 2013 Alpine system in it, so I got lucky there.

I was planning on keeping my 08 for at least another year or 2 but if the back seat on the 2013 reclines I'll be trading her in! We currently have the 08 Sahara Unlimited and a 2012 Rubicon so I know the benefits of the new engine first hand but I was still content keeping the 08 for a few more years -- funny how something as small as a reclining back seat can push me over the edge!

This is like a slap in my face. TPS? I CANT STAND TPS's! Has to be one of the dumbest things ever put on a car. I CANT GET AWAY FROM THEM!!! I better find myself a '12 asap now. So sad, I thought I would have some time to buy a Wrangler and possibly order one.

Why do you hate TPS? Don't the '12's have that sensor?
