SPIED: FIRST Spy Shots Of An American Icon — The All-New Jeep Wrangler — Undergoing A COMPLETE Makeover

SPIED: FIRST Spy Shots Of An American Icon — The All-New Jeep Wrangler — Undergoing A COMPLETE Makeover
As I've waxed poetic about cars like the Porsche 911, which is a motoring icon, another I am not entirely familiar with is the Jeep Wrangler. I certainly appreciate it and when I drove a 2010 model year Wrangler I have to say there is something that company bottled up in that total package.

It is fun and it is unlike mostly anything else on the road today.

This is why I completely understand why Agent 001 insists on having one in his driveway at all times. Well, there's some news on the horizon and it's big. The Wrangler as we know it may be soon undergoing changes that will make it a significantly different product.

On the outside of these spy shots it may look rather similar to the vehicle on the road today; however, those keenly observant folks will notice some of the differences here. Check out its proportions. They're not entirely right. That's because they are different.

While it may look like a current Wrangler on the outside, we've been told there's A LOT going on underneath the skin. That's because the Wrangler is rumored to be getting an all-new architecture, new engines and a better interior.

For a vehicle that relies SO much on its character to sell, this sounds dangerous to me. But, we're hoping Fiat Chrysler Automobiles (FCA) doesn't botch the job.

Imagine an aluminum Wrangler with a 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder motor. It sounds wrong, doesn't it? But if it can off-road the same, if not better, what's the harm? THINK: people questioned the Ford F-150 because of aluminum construction and a turbocharged motor. And it's easily the best truck on the market today.

The Wrangler is an amazing product and is Jeep's icon, so like a new Mustang or a new Corvette, a lot is riding on this. Moving to a unibody makes tremendous sense as does alloy construction. While the move to turbocharged (gas) engines may be good in theory for MPG, for off roading, a naturally aspirated engine will continue to be better. It really is too bad the venerable 4.0 straight six no longer exists because it was an amazing beast of an engine. I got a Cherokee 4.0 with 140K miles on it when my beater Mustang Grande died and I put lots of miles on it and I miss it. Aside from the Wrangler, the current Jeeps aren't "Jeeps" to me. The Grand Cherokee is too pretty. The Cherokee's styled on acid look leaves me cold and the Renegade is too nail girl / twink boy for words. If Jeep gets the next Wrangler right I may have to acquire one.

Really? Still looks like the same old Jeep to me. Maybe it's like a "complete makeover" in the house of Audi, where you need A/B pictures and a magnifying glass to see the differences.
