Confirmed: RIP Bikini (and more)

06/05/2020 at 20:05 • Filed to: 2020 is the gift that keeps on giving

Update : well, shit. I really thought that perhaps it was an end-of-model-year manufacturing restriction, that Bikini would come back for 2021.

Sadly, 2020 keeps on giving with its awfulness , and not only is Bikini not on the !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! , but neither are Punkin’ and Mojito. Mojito in particular would have been a nice consolation prize. And Ocean Blue, which was verrra nice too, is kaput.

Colors still available for Wranglers:

Silver. Black. White. Granite Crystal. Sarge Green. Sting-Gray (barf). Hella Yella. Firecracker Red.

5 greyscale, 1 dull green. 1 red, which meh, and 1 yellow.

Bad Jeep. Bad.

Pour one out for Mojito and Punk’n and Bikini and Ocean.

In a moment of weakness today I decided to explore the Jeep.com builder, and I was saddened to discover that the fabulous Bikini color, the only Jeep color that could seriously make me reconsider my devotion to yellow, has vanished.

Jeep, how could you? You keep 3 shades of grey, plus black and white, and you drop the most head-turning color you’ve introduced since hyper green, which frankly ugh.

Now I know what I’ll harass Mark Allen about if I ever bump into him again at the Toledo Jeep Fest.

Seriously, that color is stunning in person. I love it.

That color was stunning. I really like the gecko green of 2012 I think it was. Every other “skittles” green since has been underwhelming. I like the yellow until it’s on a Sahara with color match hardtop. Then it looks like a yellow H3... I couldn’t get past that. Edit: only when on a JKU.

That’s a bummer. It’s also the color I’d go for is I was to buy a Wrangler. Yellow it is

Oh wow they must have literally just gotten rid of it because I configured a Sahara 4 door on like Thursday and still had the option, but now it’s gone I guess replaced by Sarge Green?

I’m at the crossroads of whether or not this atomic pun deserves a star or not.

Take your damn star.

That’s really a bad decision on Jeep’s part. A Jeep dealer in my area even had a Renegade in that color that looked great! In my opinion if they offered that on the new Jeep pickup it would have been awesome. So much for a 90's teal comeback.

I have a suspicion that it’s due to the end of MY2020 production . It may make a return for next year.

Let’s hope so!

We can only hope there’s will be some new 2021 colors that just haven’t rolled out yet.

They do shake things up in the middle of the model years, so quite possibly.

Still annoys me. If Bikini or Mojito were available I’d give a new one some serious thought.

Great color - makes me think of BMW’s Atlantis Blue.

BMW definitely seems to have a way with blue.

Mojito and Punk’n were great but yeah Bikini is going to be the color to get in the used car world. Someone just bought a Bikini Unlimited near me and damn does it look good.
