Fiat Chrysler may debut the 2018 Jeep Wrangler JL just one month before it’s scheduled to enter production this November, according to company CEO Sergio Marchionne.

Marchionne stated that pre-production prototypes of the JL Wrangler will be on the roads in greater numbers throughout this year. It’s going to be tough for Jeep to keep the design a secret as the vehicle’s unique styling but also recognizable shape is known by everyone. Because of that, they are thinking of waiting until the vehicle is almost completely finished to enter production before it will be officially shown.

Marchionne says, “We may be forced to go to Los Angeles to launch the car, we’ll have them running around. I can’t cover them up with masking tape. The car is too distinctive. We may show it in Los Angeles in November and then launch it officially here in January.”

The plan is for the 2018 Wrangler JL to be on Jeep dealerships by early 2018. The brand new version will be sold along with the already existing Wrangler JK for a small amount of time until it dies off officially in April 2018. Then the Jeep Wrangler JL-based Jeep pickup truck will debut in the spring of 2018 before going on sale that summer.

Because the LA debut for the Wrangler JL is not set in stone, it’s possible that we could see it at the New York Auto Show in March. Patience will be the key, although Jeep fans can’t wait much longer.
