If you’re one of those people anxiously waiting for that Diesel Jeep Wrangler, I hate to break it to you but it might not come to US shores at all.
“We have no plans at the moment for diesel Jeeps in North America, although one of the things I’ve learned in this business is to never say never… I wouldn’t rule it out, but specifically on November 4, we were commenting on diesel in Europe,” said Michael Manley, Jeep President and CEO.
It would be a huge shame if the Diesel Jeep Wrangler is not made available in North America, but if there’s one thing worth celebrating about in Manley statement, it’s that there still might be a chance of us seeing it in our showrooms.
For the mean time, the Jeep Wrangler will be having a powertrain upgrade and might be using the Pentastar V6 on the next model year according to a report by the Toledo Blade. We also might see more limited-production special editions of the Jeep Wrangler in addition to the Islander and the Mountain throughout 2010.
