It was a nice looking gray 6 speed hard top with mag wheels and 16" tires. I was in for my 30k service for my '04 Wrangler X and the dealer (actual owner) recognized me. He handed me dealer plates and keys and told me to drive it around and see what I thought of it. First impressions. Big, quiet, smooth, plenty of power (6th gear must be warp drive). The shift and 4WD engaged wery smoothly with a positive feel. I took it out of his lot the back way, up a grass and dirt slope to the street behind the dealership in 1st 4WD-hi. Much more ground clearance than my '04. Other things, the lip where I hit my foot getting in is gone :-) Nice seats! The soft top folds down out of the way in a very small roll under the 2 piece hard top and hides behind the rear seat. The front of the hard top over the front seats is removable. Did I mention quiet? :-) Almost unnaturally quiet for a Jeep. It's refined to the point that it's almost un-Jeeplike. The dealer offered to let me drive the 4dr. I declined. Way to big, but he's already sold two. One hard top and one soft top. He has yet to sell a 2dr. Go figure!
