Jeep’s Big Plans for the Future

Posted on by

It’s the start of a new month and with it comes news that Jeep is looking to do some house cleaning. All attention of late is on the resurrection of the Dart name and Jeep is looking to be steal some thunder with their announcements on the future of Jeep.

Motortrend has the breakdown of just what Jeep is doing to keep itself fresh. First up is the Jeep Grand Wagoneer. Being developed as competition for the seven-passenger Chevrolet Suburban. It’s also going to be the replacement for the aging Dodge Durango. Don’t worry if you happen to be a Durango fan, however, because Dodge isn’t planning on scrapping the SUV altogether with plans in the next few years to give it a new look with a new plant.

Next big plan that Jeep has is to bring the Jeep Liberty back with the Cherokee badge. The Grand Cherokee will be getting a 3.0 liter diesel engine and the 8.4-inch touch screen that is a big part of the Dodge Dart and many other Chrysler vehicles. Jeep Wrangler will be getting a heavy-duty version of the new gearbox while their redesign is being put off until 2017.

Jeep is taking the necessary steps to make that in the next couple of years that their popularity will not be waning.

The Cutest Little Jeep You Ever Did See

Posted on by

Usually, when people think of Jeep, they think of the military and tough ruggedness. After seeing this Jeep listed for sale on eBay and featured over on Jalopnik, we are still in shock. Who knew that a Jeep could be so darn cute?

This 1953 Custom Willys 8X8 Overland has the typical green camouflage color and a white strip and star on the side. The interior could use a bit of work, and while it is a great restoration job by fabricator Dick Cook, pulling parts from 3 Willys Jeeps, there are plenty of great restored cars available for sale on eBay. What caught our interest was its 8 wheels, turning it from a tough Jeep into a vehicle as cute as a bug.

In their video from the eBay posting, the seller showed off all eight wheels and boasted, “There will never be another one of these…We’ve built a centipede.” You can view the full video below:

Right now, bidding for the car is at $8,705.00, though the bidding reserve has not yet been met. If you want to check out the bidding or see more pictures of this adorable Jeep, head over to the eBay posting here.

Jeep is kicking off the Summer of 2012 right with their exhilarating Jeep Power Amp Experience in Houston, Texas.

The Power Amp Experience is an obstacle course built to show off the 2012 Jeep Wrangler Altitude edition. Attendees at the Free Press Summer Fest got to tackle the course to win prizes and see how the 2012 Jeep Wrangler would handle steep climbs, water, and rough terrain.

From the pictures on Jeep’s blog and Facebook page, it looks like a great time was had by all. Jeep created something more than the typical test drive. They created a unique experience for drivers to test out the new vehicle and get some bragging rights for conquering the course.
