A few quick questions on interior colors:
1. what color is the dash? Black, Charcoal, or dark brown? Kind of looks dark brown...if so, does that work completely in your opinion?
2. What color is the piping on the seats?
3. Waht color is the floor carpeting? Looks Charcoal...
Thanks in advance--this may be the combination I get my wife.
Sorry for the delay, I'm actually on Colorado this week on a Wk2 road trip!
I replied to your PM.
Oh, did I mention that I was up in Woodland Park this morning in the snow and in Snow Mode could not really get this Jeep to lose traction, it was a lot of fun. Then into Sport Mode to drop down into the twisties back to Colorado springs. We are having a lot of fun, I should be able to post a general review of this vehicle after the 2k miles or so I have when I get home.
Cheers,

PS. all vehicles should have heated steering wheels, lol.
I was sold on Mineral Grey with black interior until I saw these pictures. I'm usually not a big fan of light leather, but that color combination is really nice. I've heard about that color before and I was told it looks different in different lighting, but I'm really shocked at how nice it is. Now I'm second guessing myself.
You and me both. Mineral gray was my number until I came across these pics and I instantly knew Dark Charcoal was my color. I ordered it with Saddle interior which I have yet to see quality pictures of together. I think its going to be amazing. However that beige is really good looking to especially with charcoal.
6000 miles and it still looks brand new, I think I've hand washed it about 5 times already! Tonight on the way to dinner about 5000 birds flew over (seriously) and I got nailed by at least 7-8 shits. So, tomorrow afternoon I have another date with the hose and bucket.
Yeah, I'd love to see the charcoal with saddle interior. I really like the saddle in my 08, but I'm still uncertain about the 2011. It seems lighter and I'm unsure if that is good or bad. It's funny that I've been thinking about it so much when up until now I just pretty much got anything.
I would be somewhat worried about the light leather and wear. Do you think it would stain easier than the other colors?

I think it looks like it's sealed up pretty good. The only part that may be susceptible to this is the perforated parts. I am fairly meticulous though when it come to interiors, so I doubt I'll ever have any problems. I like that it has dark brown carpet though, this works better for me than a beige would.
My WK2 is on a rail car on its way to the dealer. I was having second thoughts about going with dark charcoal over mineral gray, but seeing your amazing photos has reassured me!
It's been almost 2 years since I posted these pics, and this Jeep has given me 24,000 miles of flawless performance. It is like an old friend now, and I have enjoyed each day of ownership.
I've had 2 Jeep Grand Cherokee's (03 and 05) and 2 Infiniti FX35's (06 and 10); driving the '10 now, and have been looking for a new SUV. We checked out the 2012 Range Rover Sport, 2013 ML350, 2013 X5 and 2013 Q7. The test drive my wife and I took in the 2012 Jeep along with your pictures has further sold me on why I am waiting until the end of the year to when the order banks open for the 2014 JGC. It's a no brainer for us at this point, and we save about 15-20K in the process, ha!
