WORLD EXCLUSIVE! Biggest Next-Gen Jeep Wrangler Rumor CONFIRMED?

Early last month we got word that there was going to be an interesting situation for the next-gen, 2018 Jeep Wrangler. Unlike other all-new vehicle launches, this one was said to be handled in a different fashion.

What could Fiat Chrysler Automobiles (FCA) possibly have up its sleeve? Word on the street suggested that Jeep would follow an old playbook; however, with a twist.

It turns out that one of our dealer contacts located in the northeast has confirmed the rumor — it's actually going to become reality.

That's right! The 2018 Jeep Wrangler will also be accompanied by a Wrangler Classic version. This way buyers who enter the showroom can choose between the all-new Wrangler and the Wrangler Classic, which is expected to remain a bit more basic with old technology and a lower barrier of entry.

This news has us curious just what could be lurking around the corner as it relates to the all-new Wrangler. How much of it is going to be differentiated? From the spy shots we've seen there's a lot of small visual tweaks but this confirmation has us questioning EVERYTHING.

GM has been doing this for decades - leaving the old car as the "Classic" for a few months while the new car ramps up production. It is largely for fleet customers and to get rid of old inventory. If the customers do not want the "new" one - it is a failure either way. Example - Chrysler kept the OLD Dodge Caravan - which is selling briskly - when it introduced the Pacifica - which is also selling well. Will they actually not replace the Caravan - sales have hardly ebbed for it?

NO big deal. With Jeep, everything old is new again.
