2011 Wrangler changes announced
 The 2011 Jeep Wrangler (standard and Unlimited) can now be ordered from dealers in the United States (and possibly other nations). All Wranglers have a revised interior, with a new instrument panel, door trim, and rear cargo area surface. Jeep claims greater ease of use, ergonomics, and storage for the vehicle that has one Best 4×4 of the Decade (Four Wheeler).
New standard features for Sport models include steering wheel audio controls, cruise, and hill descent control.
The Sport S package now contains an AC outlet, automatic headlamps, and optional body-color hardtop.
There seems to be a new Connectivity Group available which includes the Vehicle Information Center, cellphone integration with voice commands, USB port, and, on the Sport package, a chrome/leather wrapped shift knob, for both the automatic and the manual. Automatic temperature control is now optional on Sahara and Rubicon.
The new Garmin 430N nav system is available for order on the Sahara and Rubicon (the 730N system does not appear to be available).
Colors at this time are Black, Bright Silver Metallic, Flame Red, Mango Tango, and Natural Green.
New Rubicon options are heated front seats and power mirrors.
All 2011 Jeep Wranglers have four wheel drive and a 3.8 liter V6 engine with a peak 202 horsepower and 237 lb-ft of torque, hill descent control, stability control, six-speed manual transmission, roll mitigation, six-speaker stereo with input jack, full-length floor console, outside temperature display, rear window defroster and wiper, tilt wheel, fog lamps, tow hooks, theft deterrent key, and skid plates for the transfer case, gas tank, and, for automatics, transmission oil pan.
The base model is Sport; the S package adds air conditioning, larger wheels, leather-wrapped steering wheel, and deep tinted glass. Higher models are the Saraha and more-off-road-oriented Rubicon.
The Sport and Sahara models have Command-Trac 4×4, which has both a high and low range that split torque evenly between front and rear axles (for loose surfaces only). The main difference between Command-Trac and the Rock-Trac (on Rubicon) is the low gear: it multiplies torque by 2.72 on regular models and by 4 on Rubicon.
This simple, proven system is fuel efficient in two wheel drive mode, can be shifted to four wheel drive (high) at speeds up to 54 mph, and, in low gear, allows crawl ratios as low as 73:1.

Diesel? I hope so, I have been waiting for the 2011 model with a new interior. I'll be pretty disappointed if I can't get a Diesel. I'll have to wait even longer

Down hill assist is actualy dangerous under real life wheeling situations. If people cant drive offroad without gadgets to do the work for them then they are too dangerous to be wheeling.

The specs posted are for USA delivery vehicles. Australian specs will be differenrt and do include the diesel (which is not sold in the US).
We will not be getting colour coded roofs or flairs and the Off Road Group has been deleted. Mango Tango colour is definatly coming. No Rubicon Diesel at this stage ##### damn.!
thats all we know at this stage

I prefer the TJ dash to the JK one. I think this 2011 Wrangler is kind of returning back to its TJ look in a way - the softer edges and the colour scheme.
I feel the JK should have returned to the transfer case lever of the TJ as well.
Some things are better left alone.

I think the fresh look of the interior works well. Maybe loose the chrome on the gear sticks. no doubt there will be other colours to choose from

True, the TJ was a bit basic. Different strokes for different folks i guess.
