FAE, I would have guessed, F- four wheel drive, A-automatic, E-electic shift or ESP. But who knows.

yeah you probably right in some ways
but what about there water problems ?
and i like the fact of the new rubicons hydrostatic system they are on the walker lawn mowers and they are almost unable to hurt!
and the features of being able to shift and maxing out torque is nice as well!

I was tempted to wait for the rubicon myself until I heard 2 things. $7200 and full time 4wd. It is probably going to be a very nice unit but you just have to draw the line some where. When I can buy a NICE 4x4 truck for the same price as an ATV I cringe just a little. And I definetly dont want to be in 4wd all the time. For this reason I went with the 2000 Yamaha kodiac which I felt was pricey at $6000. I must say that it has been outstanding and loaded with reliable features. Well only time will tell and who knows maybe my next one will be a rubicon, but they have to really impress me to get me away from my kodiac.

JRM, rip open the crate at your dealer to see what it is! If they are making aftermarket stuff for it already, then when the hell is somebody gonna test one!!!

I stopped today to ask about it..they caught me noiseing around and i never did see the crate this time..I think it is put together and hideing in the back room. and they still played stupid towards me. I hope 4wheel action has a test next month because the dealar sure thinks it wont be as sporty as the rancher for some reason.

You need to do a little "fire alarm check" and clear everybody out for a few minutes and have a little better look-see around. I have lawyer relatives if you have any trouble. Oh, scratch that idea. Not so good after all.

I don't even want to tell you this, as I can see some of you are chomping at the bit for a Rubicon. Well here gos, I was at my dealer yesterday, and he said that the Honda sales rep. was in last week. When asked about the Rubicon delivery date the rep. said this " if and when the Rubicon comes out, it won't be until late July or August". I don't know about you, but I don't like the sound of "if and when". I also asked the dealer about what I've read on here, and he said that he heard that some preproduction Rubicons were sent to dealers in California to test.He didn't know if that was true or not. Sorry guys, I honestly hope that none of this is true.
