The most capable off-road vehicle in the world — the all-new 2007 Jeep Wrangler — made its debut at the North American International Auto Show here today. Seconds later, the legendary American icon left its own party.

After breaking out of a cage and appearing onstage, the all-new 2007 Jeep Wrangler drove offstage, through the auto show display area, into the Cobo Center lobby and smashed through the front window. The all-new Wrangler then climbed down a flight of Cobo Center stairs, proceeded up Washington Avenue and scaled the outdoor stairs at Detroit's Pontchartrain Hotel, before confidently climbing Jeep Mountain.

"Jeep is the 'go anywhere, do anything' brand, and the all-new 2007 Jeep Wrangler demonstrated that right out of the gate today," said Jeff Bell, Vice President – Jeep, Chrysler Group. "Simply put, it is the best Jeep Wrangler ever. No vehicle in the world offers more off-road capability. Our all-new Jeep Wrangler offers more on-road refinement, space, comfort, open-air options, power, torque, safety and convenience."

Today's all-new 2007 Jeep Wrangler reveal marks the second time a Jeep vehicle introduction at the North American International Auto Show included outdoor activity. Fourteen years ago, at the 1992 show, a 1993 Jeep Grand Cherokee drove through Cobo Center's front window, marking its debut. Jeep is the only brand that has utilized the outdoors as part of a North American International Auto Show vehicle introduction.
