    A Halloween Surprise: Jeep Shows Off 2018 Wrangler

      Boo!

    We know a fair amount of information about the 2018 JL Wrangler thanks to various leaks and rumors. Now Jeep has surprised all of us on Halloween night by revealing some pictures of the 2018 Wrangler.

    It looks like Wrangler from the three photos Jeep released. We can tell the front grille is slightly flatter and a set of LED lighting on the fenders. No pictures of the interior are provided, but we're expecting some big changes including a new UConnect infotainment system.

    More details on the Wrangler will be revealed on November 29th at the LA Auto Show. But we know that a 3.6L V6 and turbocharged 2.0L will be the engines at launch thanks to a leaked owner's manual.

    For some (product-based) reason, I always think a Wrangler should start around $16K... instead of $24K (2017).

    Agreed, I think the Wrangler has gotten really expensive, and they used to be pretty cheap.  In today's dollars maybe not $16k, but like 20k, I bet the 2018 model starts at $25k and quickly gets over $30,000.

    Far better deal than a G Wagon. :D

    Hey, if FCA can get the $$ for it, I don't blame them for the pricing.

    At the same time, not sure what you're getting (tangible) that's 'worth' $24K to start. It's a very basic vehicle.

    Well, the current model in it's base form does include a V6, 4 wheel drive, a 6 spd manual, 16 inch wheels, a soft top, removable doors, etc all standard, in a 2dr convertible bodystyle.  Nothing else on the market offers that feature mix for $24k. 

    Every other CUV/SUV at $24k is probably a FWD 4dr, 4cyl automatic or CVT appliance..

    $16k in today's market only buys tiny FWD despair mobiles..

    So in it's base form, the Wrangler is pretty well equipped..of course, there is a huge range of trim levels and options to push the price much higher.

    Exactly. It’s the same reason Benz can get $140K for an acient G Wagon. As long as people are buying it then they will keep selling it for whatever price they can get.

    Even in base form it is probably one of the most capable off-road vehicles on sale today.  It is a niche vehicle that does one thing very well while just so-so everything else.  Same thing as Miata (starting at $25.7k), or basic F-150 or Silverado work trucks that are around $28k.

    I drove rental Wrangler recently while on vacation, it was beat up to death but it is still was a lot of fun.

    Thank you.  And that is a real 4WD system with a real low range and it is a convertible.  It is really a hell of a deal for what you get.  I realy want a 2 door 18 Rubicon.

      Those that cannot accept a multi-cultural world and immigration deserve to lose everything. I will stay professional, but believe that our North American Economy is about to get far worse over the long term than it is now. It is amazing how people do not seem to realize that the first two years of a new president is dealing with the ramifications of the last president. The high inflation was due to the failed policies of those before. We now have low unemployment and a strong economy. Will be interesting to see how it ends.

      I say, let it get worse.  The people have spoken and this is what the MAJORITY voted for.  He even got the popular vote.  Therefore the people of America have spoken.   This is what they want.  This is what they feel comfortable with.   But I dont want to hear ANY whining from ANYBODY about what possibly may happen with him Him in power.  Fool me once,  shame on you!  Fool me twice, shame on me?   Technically this is how that saying goes.  But you never know. Maybe it really IS the lefty libtards that are the problem.   Hopefully it IS the lefty libtards that are the problem and the Messiah Trump will BE the solution to ALL of our problems.   I will be the first one to apologize if He actually does fix America's and Canada's problems.  And unite ALL of the world and the world gets to sing Kumbaya ALL in unison. Hopefully He is the next coming of Christ.   Keeping my fingers crossed but I aint holding my breath if you know what I mean.

      @oldshurst442 This pretty much sums up just how bad it is going to get. Trump's economic plans would worsen inflation, experts say | AP News

      Not just iPhones... He tariffed Canadian wood the first time around as Pres and the prices of wood skyrocketed so American home builders bought American wood which was and is more expensive than Canadian wood.  I guess that is good for American wood producers. But for the fact that house prices also skyrocketed.  And considering that Canada and US have a more or less good trading thing going on...so not that good.  Not for the US and not good for Canada.  But Donald thinks otherwise. And all the folk that voted for him this time around think that the economy will get better?  I hope so for their sake. But Elon and Jeff B's billions rose quite a bit upon the announcement of his re-election.  I wonder if those  people that voted for him, I wonder if their wealth also rose instantly?    You poor bastards... You have no idea what is coming to you... (those that voted for him.  With the excemption of the rich of course)     Donnie Rides Again
