Have they started building the 08's yet?

In my case (I live in Chicago) there are 4-5 Jeep dealerships by me and i see a couple JKs (either 2 and 4 dr) on the lots if I so happen to cruise by. So, if i ever decided to buy another i'm sure i'd find one. I guess i'm just not as picky as some.
I just don't want to pay for a bunch of features I don't want. I've been looking for months and no one seems to have the exact combination of options that I would want. That's why I'm probably going to order.

Yeah. During the test drive I wanted to see how much he knew about Jeeps. I asked "So what is the difference between a Rubicon and an X?" his response not much, just bigger tires!

By ordering the JK, I pay 1% below invoice price and get a vehicle equipped exactly the way I want. Rubicon Unlimited's are few and far between here. If I could find one, I'd have to settle for the color and options that came on it, and I'd have to pay sticker or better. To me, it's worth the wait for the order.

Some of these salesman are complete retards... I once got into a TJ for a test drive and found the transfer case was in 4 H... I asked the salesman (as I shifted it into 2H), "Hey is it supposed to be in 4wd?" He says, "Yea, they drive better that way. But I don't really know much about Jeeps, I'm a mini-van guy myself..."

Check please!
