For anyone who's interested, I ordered an Overland V8 on July 27th. I just checked with Jeep Chat and they say the same thing they've said for the past 6 weeks, that the order is in the scheduling phase of the manufacturing process. The parts required to build the vehicle are being scheduled and as soon as they are available and ready, order will be scheduled to build.
But with all the talk of the air suspension being deleted, and seeing it being deleted on window stickers at various dealerships, I asked them since the air suspension was available when I ordered if it would still be on there, and their reply was "we show QUADRA-LIFT (TM) AIR SUSPENSION is equipped." So hopefully it will still be on there when it eventually arrives.
And, if it helps anyone, I heard about a dealer who would sell the GCL at invoice if you order. I ordered mine at sticker price. I called up this dealer (they were in PA and I'm in NC) and had them spec and quote the same vehicle. I sent the quote to my dealer and they said they would match it and sell it to me at invoice.
