A name from Jeep's past will be resurrected for a new subcompact model. Drive.com.au reports that Jeep will be showing off a new model at Geneva Motor Show in March wearing the Jeepster name. The Jeepster will based on the upcoming Fiat 500X crossover and feature more a rugged appearance. Front-wheel drive will be standard, while all-wheel drive will be a option.

Production is expected to happen next fall at Fiat's Melfi plant. Sales begin sometime in 2015.

While I hate the original Fiat 500, the 500L has potential. So I am excited by the Jeepster to see what kind of Butch AWD and AWD Trail Rated versions they build.
