Red colour.

As you pointed out, cant be 100% sure as it was a quick sighting going the other way. We were travelling slow (around 40-50Km) due to traffic and they were not travelling fast the other way so it was a reasonable look at it. It certainly wasn't the older <2011 model that I am 100% sure about. I did take note of the door and tailgate after seeing the grille as it approached as it caught my attention immediately.

Anything is possible I guess, someone may have custom painted a 2011-13 model to look somewhat like a 14.

However, if they are landing here within a few months as many suggest (say May/June/July) then doing the rounds of the journos before hand makes sense, but it does feel a month or two early if its more like July/August arrival.

There are 591 12/13 GC models for sale on carsales Aus wide (all variants). Im not sure how many they shift a month? The dealer in Brisbane I spoke to the other day said the stock he has is it (approx 10-15 in total) until the next shipment which he expected in July. He didnt mention if it would be a 13 or 14 model. I'll call him Tuesday to see what line he spins me :)
 
#632 ·
Could it be an SRT that you saw. They do not have the chrome grille. See the picture at the top of the page. They are the most likely looking model to the MY14. The only cars Milous had seen (in the past) were SUMMITS heading to Port Melbourne, Vic. Also interesting that your dealer is expecting a shipment in July. A few have given that date but we were beginning to feel it was going to get pushed back further. Milous has seen 400+ Aussie models just recently come off the line spread across Laredo, Limited and Overland. What we don't know is whether they are for dealership stock or to fulfill orders already in the system. It's just possible that those 400 cars may reach us by July.
 
#633 ·
Hard to say webber, it certainly could have been an SRT. I really needed to do a U-Turn and follow it (stalk it) to see what it was.

I'll try the dealer tomorrow, not sure if they will be open on a Public Holiday, if they are I'll call Tuesday and post any details they provide. I'll see how the dealer reacts when I suggest that I want to place an order for a 14. Will see if they are ready to do an order or if they are elusive with details.

Getting Summits here first sort of makes sense to me as you might show off your new range topper first to entice both media and buyers. Speculation of course :)
 
#637 ·
"drive away" price here in vic is $76,500 for white and $77,000 for metallic, from the dealers mouth ( I know the jeep web site calculators are different and make no sense) .. I figure this guy in Canberra is trying it on at over $81K ! Maybe trying to condition people to the '14 price rise.

Or the dealer has told you there offer price, not the official Jeep Au price.
The three dealers I have gone all quote the same drive away pricing that you see on the website, and all said they could do far better than that.
I have seen countless advertised above this price; it is their right to.
Dumb, as the true pricing is so transparent, but their right.

1st vehicles arrival date to ports: May 23rd or sooner
Fantastic information as always Milous.

I might rock down to my dealer on the 24th and see what they have to say...
 
#642 · (Edited by Moderator)
It certainly looks like Overland will be our top model from your above information. Someone posted very recently, I think on the main site that their MY14 made funny clunking noises on decelleration. With these first cars arriving to fulfil orders, will they have all the possible problems knocked out of them. I would hate to be in the first group of cars to be received only to find out that undetected/unknown problems have snuck through with them. No one wants to be the Guinea Pigs when outlaying $70K plus for a car.
 
#643 ·
MILOUS,
It's just occurred to me that these 500 cars already built would be petrol engines. I am assuming that the next run of 700 cars will be the CRD's which I think you gave a production run date recently of mid May, is that correct? (and... just one other question - what are your most recent thoughts on Australia getting the Summit?).

Has anyone noticed harsh tranny kick downs when decelerating and costing to a stop? Just seemed more pronounced than expected

just found it at recent post No. 10974 of main site. Have you heard anything about this problem Milous????
 
#656 ·
I hate to rain on your parade, but not everyone wants a diesel ;) the petrol GC does everthing I ask of it. It will tow everything I have as well as being the same fuel as our generator and bikes when we are away. I know most people have a preference but not always a CRD.

Cheers

Adamt,

I can inderstand your comments about the Petrol, why not all we need is the Summit in a V6 variation, should not be a problem? I was only suggesting the CDR to line up against the Euro's out there which is where the Summit would compete as an alternative.

Hello Robo,

Yes, there is alot of good info around that supports the notion for introducing the Summit to the Australian lineup, however it seems to be falling on Deaf ears.

I have even had a conversation with the CEO of Chrysler Australia Clyde and he indicated that if there was a business case they would consider it, however nothing from anyone and the production team are saying that there are other reasons to consider.....why it will not come to AU.

Only reason made the point about MB is that Chrysler shares a building with the MB guy's and after all of the discussion I was not able to get a half reasonable reason why Chrysler would not introduce the model, given it is almost the same as the Overland but more refined. Just does not make sense and I hope there is not some mateship that will keep the Summit from competing with the ML.

I was also referred back to my dealer or dealers in Sydney and I have now spoken to 4 from different sales groups and they know nothing about the new model so how can they assist, I know more about the new range and have educated them, crazy.

I have the choice to buy an ML350, BMW X5, Audi Q7, they all fit my budget, but having done alot of homework and seeing the Summit in the flesh, I cannot go past it. It would be a shame not to see it here on AU roads.

Regards.....JosephR:)

Hi mate first up I would like to say thankyou for all the information you have provided here Ive been watching this thread for some time, are you at all able to confirm if that Laredo is equiped with QL? only reason I ask is this I hope to be the Grand my parents have had a deposit on since November! any light on this would be appriciated as the dealership has little to no idea about anything. :cool:

Milous, thanks for the update on first delivery to Oz ports. Can you keep feeding them to us as the dealers have no info at all. Ordered Dec 1 a 3.0 l Limited deep cherry with off road and luxury packs. Advised then April/May delivery to Brisbane, but dealer doesn't even have a build number. Maybe ??? July? Just road tested the Mercedes M class alternative in case it really blows out, but the Jeep is a better car.

It's all we have so far.

So I'm over in the States for work and I had some spare time and decided to go by the local Jeep dealership and hunt down a '14 GC. So I walk into the dealership and the first car I see is a Compass, I'm underwhelmed by it like it is Julia G. but look to my right as I continue to walk and I spy what looks like a '14 GC. Well I'm walking fast and I take another look and it's a false alarm, my heart is racing, it is a '13 SRT with a black grille. I keep walking and as the cars part and I come into the open, there she is in all her glory, the sun glinting off her body, she looks hot and I swear she is looking at me begging me to come closer but I slow my walk, I want to get a better appreciation of her whole body and her sexy lines.

Like a guy who has been away from his girl for 6 months I can't wait any longer. I rush forward, but this time I don't trip over like some anxious adolescent. I get up close to her and I'm in love. Pictures don't do her justice. I have in my mind, "they changed the grille!" and it skews my thoughts on this baby. I mean the grille on the '11-'13 is just raw aggression, it looks so intimidating and stands out in the crowd, it is the attention seeker in the room.

I wrestled with this thought but it wasn't until many hours later that I realised what I had felt. The old grille was just that, it was the old look, it was bold and aggressive and the attention seeker in the room, but it was ultimately old. The new grille is the girl who doesn't shout "look at me, look at me!", but she is the girl that when the crowd parts and reveals her, you know instantly that she is the one you want with the beauty that you can't explain leaving you breathless with no thought of the attention seeker.

If you have an order in for a '14 GC then make no mistake, you will love it. If you have any doubt about the look of the '14 and were thinking of getting a '11-'13, don't do it because I believe you will regret it. What I saw today was a black Limited with beige interior, the black is beautiful. If you have ordered black you will love it, you really will. So much so that if the Billet that I ordered turns up and it isn't saying to me,"WOW", I'm going to reorder a black. I checked out where the tow hooks were covered, nice coverage with a mesh that fits in nicely which doesn't look out of place. The beige interior was a two tone(didn't know that could be ordered) with dark floor and beige elsewhere. It looked spectacular and would love to have beige but I know how quickly you can destroy beige so I will stick with a black interior.

To those who are getting itchy feet, stand strong. You are in love with the right vehicle. I have heard the rhetoric, "do you think the '14 will get confused with the Cherokee or the Compass?", well I have an answer for this one, you would have to be an absolute moron to do this as the '14 is just so different and beautiful. The '14 really has an SRT look about it without being the SRT. The black Limited blended well with the plastic mouldings, not sure how it will look on the light colours in the Limited. I can imagine the Overland with the body coloured moulding looking the full package which is part of why I went the Overland. The Overland will have an SRT feel about it without the mouldings.

The tailgate is also a non issue. I also loved the chrome brow across the tailgate but I believe the new tailgate feels as classy and fits the new design better than the old.

Finally to sum it up in old man terms, it is like choosing between Madonna and Sophia Loren, the attention seeker who doesn't know she is old or the classy one who turns heads wherever she goes.

great post, thanks for taking the time to write this up! I too was in the camp of "Madonna looks pretty good, will we be getting Joan Rivers in the '14?". Others have said photos don't do the '14 justice and you've just confirmed that seeing her in person is believing. She's playing hard-to-get with us in Oz is Sophia....but as I hoped, it sounds like she'll be worth the wait. Thanks again......

:lol: :lol: :lol:

She is definitely not Joan Rivers! You won't be laughing at her and cringing at the same time.

No literacy awards here webber, unfortunately they only had one Limited in stock so I can't describe an Overland. However after seeing the Limited I fantasized about the Overland and I'm afraid to say I can't tell you what happened next :eek:

Hello everyone,

Thought you would appreciate some more pictures of the Overland/Summit model out of the states.

If anyone has any others, can you add to this post.

Regards and enjoy...........JosephR
