How about a thread for those of us who want a Hypergreen JK/JKU and HAVE TO WAIT until May for them to start spraying? It is hard not to go with another color or [gulp] even another vehicle altogether...
It is a tough wait for me...clock running out on current vehicle...don't really dig any of the other colors (though curious to see Xtreme Purple / Mojave Sand on a JKU). Tempting to go with F150, GMC Canyon (diesel), other rides as well [Ford Bronco rumors for the last 12 years]...and on top of that they are releasing all the info on new motorcycles...
I am curious about which model in Hypergreen others plan to order, what aftermarket changes they will make, how they will distract themselves for another 7-9 months before their Jeep could arrive, what other vehicles they are considering...whatever people want to share.
P.S. I realize that there are bigger things to worry about than the exterior color of a brand new vehicle - that there are people out there still saving to get one someday, people that may not ever be in a position to buy a new one, drive a beater, or not even that...
P.P.S. With that being said, if Jeep rolls out a secret special edition with Rugged Brown...problem solved...would wait even longer...buuuuttt it will be Hypergreen. :thumbsup:
Now, don't you get all hyper on me about this. :motx:
At this point, we don't even know which models Hypergreen will be available on. Could be like Xtreme Purple, and be only briefly on one Special Edition.
I am waiting on hypergreen too and it is killing me. I want a base model and will do most everything I want through the aftermarket. If it is just on a special edition I am going to be upset. Right now a 5.0 track pack mustang is getting tempting but if I wait till May and it is only available on a special edition I will probably see about the availability of the gt350 mustang.
I am debating whether or not hypergreen is worth waiting for. Yes, it would be nice for the entire color range to be available upon the release of the new MY, but we all know Jeep doesn't like to give it's customers what they want. They like to tease and play coy and entice you into purchasing something you really don't want based on your desire to have a new wrangler right now.
I will probably wait for all colors to be released just to make sure I don't make a $40k mistake. The caveat is that if I wait until MAY!!!!!!!!!!!! , I may as well wait for the 2017 MY. Way to go Jeep, way to go. Let down yet again.....
Too be honest I was so focused on how long of a wait there is for Hypergreen - I hadn't considered that it might only be offered on certain models...sometimes support isn't for feeling better....sometimes support is looking at reality
Still gonna roll the dice and see what Jeep Officials do with the color...in the meantime I will speculate on what colors the Jeep Pickup might be available in...like Rugged Brown!!!
Also just realized that Santa Clause can't even bring aftermarket parts gifts yet either...until I know what models the Hypergreen will be available on...damn Jeep/FCA should get a lump of coal for being naughty...
Gees, hopefully it's not available on the Rubicon Hard Rock JKU. That would be the only model that would tweak my "trade in" itch. Since I've regeared, levelled, and finally found a set of wheels/tires I like, my wife would kill me if I trade it with only 20,000kms on it.
With it being released so late in the MY, and having the MY17 information being released just one month later, I doubt it will be available on all models.
If it's only offered on the Freedom edition, I don't need to wait until may. I can get something now and avoid the travesty that is the Freedom edition.
LOL, are you serious???? Gecko was awesome. Hyper looks like a baby ate too many lime tic tacs and yellow crayons and relieved itself on a wrangler. It's horrifically ugly. I only hope the photo shopped pic is way off the real color. Hyper is actually worse than XP, and that's hard to do.
I hope everyone else hates Hypergreen....Jeep can sell me the only one...exclusive! Hope they save some paint for the Jeep Galdiator/Commanche/whateverthey call new truck!
I'm waiting for the Hyper Green myself, I was told by a friend that is a Jeep sales guy that the new HG is pretty much the same color as the lime green currently on the Challengers. I hope so, I love that color
If hyper is remotely close to Gecko, I might trade my firecraker rubi in for one. Sad we have to wait an entire model year for FCA to get off it's arse and show us the GD color.
I've been debating trading in my 13 JKU for a new JK. At first I was like... nah, I don't like any colors. But then I heard about hyper green. But, I don't want to jump on an order in case I don't like it. Hopefully some dealers near me actually order the color so I can look at it first!
