2014 Jeep Liberty Prototype Spotted!

Posted on by

If you want to see the next generation of cars out in the wild, you might want to stick around the offices of Automobile Magazine. For whatever the reason is, they seemingly have all the luck. Just the other day, they not only got to see a pre-production Buick Encore and a Citroen DS5, but they also managed to catch a glimpse (and some pictures) of the prototype for the 2014 Jeep Liberty.

Cloaked in complete black with no real discernible features didn’t keep the editors at Automobile Magazine from realizing they were getting a sneak peak at something special. Under that disguise, they were able to recognize core features that pointed to this being the future of Jeep. Most notably is that it is similar to a Jeep prototype they caught sight of in April and then there’s also the seven-slot Jeep grille.

The 2014 Jeep is expected to take many of the lessons learned in the 2013 Dodge Dart and put them to use. It’ll likely have a 1.4-liter turbo-four. For buyers looking for more power, a 2.4-liter Tigershark I-4 may be a variant seeing as how it’s also being offered for the Dart. It’s too early to set anything in stone, but definitely expect there to be powerful options as Chrysler-Fiat CEO Sergio Marchionne promised that the new Liberty will still be a “trail-rated, full-blooded Jeep.”

No word yet on when to expect any official word on the 2014 Jeep Liberty, but production of said vehicle is slated to begin next year at the Toledo, Ohio plant.

Jeep’s Big Plans for the Future

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.
