No no it's all good, I just wanted to break up this call someone attitude everyone had, I truly believe buyer beware, if you get taken by chessy RUBI stickers, and buy something like a jeep for 18k, without know what your buying than........you have more money than cents.

gotta agree with those who think 'what's all the fuss about!'...it's just a sticker after all, I can't see any offence unless the dealer is trying to sell it as a Rubi...

(explaining all the rubicon extras) if they just call it a wrangler and on all the paper work it says wrangler its shame on they buyer. A sticker wouldnt be enough for fraud.

I think there are more people than we realize who do not know what the difference is in the Rubicon or the X. By placing the Rubicon decals on the hood, they are committing a fraud, and I think something should be done as well to these crooks. When I owned my 09 "X" I never tried to foist on anyone that it was anything but an X, and now that I drive a Rubicon it upsets me when I see locals with the decals on the hood of Sports, etc.

Say, perhaps an SSK baseball glove for your kid. And after buying it you learned it was a cheap, Chinese knock-off that was illegally imported into the country and the dealer just gave you a shrug: "Tough luck, bud." I'm sure you'd want some government action taken against those who purposefully misrepresented the product.
Go ahead an rely on the government to stop false advertising, sure like they don't do it themselves......
I baseball glove, is quite a bit different than an 18k dollar automobile...

Someone should call the dealership and ask over the phone for info about the "Rubicons" on the lot. I'm curious to see if they are pushing them verbally. Then I'd call the BBB or whomever.
