Spotlight on the Jeep Brand at the New York Auto Show and there 2007 lineup.

For Jeep at the New York Auto Show, they showcased two new concepts that will make it into production later this summer and fall, the first concept was the Jeep Wrangler Unlimited that has not only been redesigned for 2007, but now sports a four-door model that is pictured above. The Wrangler has will also sport a 3.8L V-6 engine instead of the popular inline-6 engine. A four-door Jeep Wrangler is a little far out for me, imagine what Jeep enthuisants have to say about it, let along the changing engine. Maybe Jeep has added horsepower and better fuel economy with this 3.8L V-6, but keep in mind that the current Jeep Liberty also sports the 3.7L V-6 engine and its got some power with 18 MPG.

The other concept showcased was the Jeep Patriot that is also another four-door that looks like a modern Jeep Cherokee from before the Liberty came out.

Earlier this year, Jeep showcased another smaller four-door Compass that will have a 4 cyl engine, add this to there current models the Liberty, Grand Cherokee and the Commander.

My wish list for Jeep is the a two-door Compass and the Jeep Jeepster Concept, plus creating a diesel engine for the United States vehicles, Jeep will add a diesel engine for there Wrangler and another concept only avalible outside the United States.



The Jeep Jeepster pictured above is an off-road sports car that sports a 4.7L V-8 and is a two-door convertible with on-demand four wheel drive.

I would like to see this built with the wrangler components including either a V-6 or a diesel engine and it would sport four seater. What can I say, I like the Jeep Wrangler, but not the fuel economy, I don't drive off-road, but I do like the four-wheel-drive for the New England winters.

See Yeah!
