Here it is, the first look at the face of the new next-gen Jeep Wrangler. You're forgiven if you don't notice much change.

Can't tell it from this picture so much, but I've seen other side views and the front bumper sticking out so far is ugly. Certainly will take getting used to.

So, if I buy a takeoff grill will it bump me up 5 mpg? I jest.

There's nothing new about that grille. Actually....look at the picture closely as well as the "sloped back" talk and the fender talk. Hmmmm.......looks familiar

I see a more rounded shape to the fender. As for the long front bumper, it appears to have been a disguise, which is typical for test mules. The windshield is the big air dam, so more rake will have a big effect on fuel economy. Also, it will be interesting to see the bottom of the vehicle. There was lots of room for improved aero there, too.

If your looking at this article and seeing "a more rounded shape to the fender" then you would be wrong because the photo that they used here is a rendering of the grill on a picture of a JK. The actual Jalopnik article clearly explains "I tried to overlay the new design on the current face to give us a general idea of what the new Wrangler might look like without camouflage." where the author is referring to the grill getting the YJ-like angled kick back.

The JK-Forum article is only a chunk of the actual text from the author, your far better off going and reading the actual Jalopnik piece that shows the camouflage Jeep that he stole his grill rendering from.

The photo is of a Back Country Edition. The grill mod looks photo shopped. The bumper is AEV and certainly will not be stock. Another dumb thread from this stupid company.
