Allpar.com are reporting that this Iveco sourced 4x4 could become a Jeep very soon. It fits well with the concept of a larger than Wrangler heavy duty vehicle that would compete with Landcruiser Troop Carrier and Defender.

Thoughts are it would replace a gap in the market left by the Hummer and also appeal to markets like Africa and Australia for rugged terrain use. Production Jeeps would need to have a more distinctive Jeep look than the example from Allpars Jack Ratchet who usually gets his future models very close to the look of real production models.
