Test drove a new 2012 "sport" recently, was very impressed with it. I've never been into Jeeps myself, yet I understand why the "old" jeep crowd doesn't like the JK. The highlight of the 2012 is the new 3.6 V6. It feels pretty peppy. The overall ride is much more smooth and quiet than previous generations of Jeeps I've been in. Under-hood things are very tight and cramped. Not something you'd look forward to fixing/working on.
The info I looked up online had the 2011 (3.8) doing 0-60 in 9-10 seconds and quarter mile in 17-18 seconds. The 2012 (3.6) does 0-60 in about 6.7 sec and does low 15's in the quarter mile. This is test info for the Wrangler, not the Wrangler Unlimited. The additional power changes things significantly.
