My son spotted this as the dentist’s office. Motor Trend is reporting that Fiat is producing a true jeep for Europe, one that will be both crossover and a trail rated versions. No pics of the concept or final version have been released just yet. There are plans to sell this in the US, too.
“Jeep is preparing a new subcompact SUV crossover for the middle of calendar year 2013. It will be built in Europe on a Fiat platform, but Jeep promises it will have significant off-road capability. Jeep CEO Mike Manley told Motor Trend, ‘It will be a true Jeep. It has to be, for us. There will be an all-wheel-drive version, and a Trail Rated version.'”
