Can't find any other source for this so I'm skeptical, guess we'll know in a few days.

2015 Jeep Renegade Release Date and Update
The baby Jeep is about to make its big debut in just a few weeks, and after months and months of waiting since its reveal at the Geneva Motor Show back in March, it’s about time! At Briggs Chrysler, we’re thrilled for its arrival, and are excited to present the 2015 Jeep Renegade release date and update.

The official launch date of the 2015 Renegade is January 6th, and from that point it will begin touching down in dealerships all across the U.S. SUVs have continued to shrink since the days when only full-sized SUVs were available; the Renegade will be the smallest family member, entering the compact-SUV segment to compete again contenders like the Juke, Mini Cooper, or Ford Escape.

It's been established elsewhere on this forum this is not true. Most dealers are saying the end of March to late spring. The Jeep rep I talked too at the L.A. Auto Show told me "first quarter". Maybe the configurator will be up on the Jeep website that date though.

Just goes to prove some stealerships are as clueless as their sales people, here are two more examples of dealers reposting the garbage posts from masterherald-com

The 2015 Jeep Renegade arrives at the showroom on January 6th, 2015, sporting a price tag close to $26,500. Jeep has quite a few variants of the Renegade up on...

So even though all of us are frustrated at Jeep's lack of information for the U.S., it looks like their dealerships are no better off.

I am starting to wonder what this company has become. It has changed hands at least three times in the last decade and each time it gets worse. One would think with all of the teasers and the info on their website, they would be a little forthcoming about an upcoming model. I think the Korean car companies are better customer oriented, and that's not saying much.

When I was at the Phx. car show the factory rep said the end of Jan. or early Feb. but I'll believe it when I see them on the lots.

That sounds about right, hopefully that is what actually turns out to be the case with these as of course the sooner the better

I mean that is tomorrow so I would be very surprised if there were Renegades in all dealerships tomorrow. It does make me wonder why this dealership would be lying to everyone though. That can't be good business.

I guess I read it differently than you guys - does not seem to me like the dealership is lying.

"The official launch date of the 2015 Renegade is January 6th, and from that point it will begin touching down in dealerships all across the U.S."

So, the "official launch date" may be tomorrow, and dealerships will be getting it in sometime after. I am hoping the website goes live, and we get some more concrete info tomorrow. Dealerships actually receiving the car in late January, early Feb seems consistent with various reports.

Perhaps there will be new info on the jeep website maybe even ordering but the actual vehicle won't show up for a month or two.

It could be at dealerships today but only for show possibly. You can buy it but not drive it off the lot. That seems like one possible answer to me.

Configurator is not up. Jan 6 was a pipe dream and unless its up soon, Feb release will be one too.

You can't even configure one on their UK website so I'm guessing the official EU press release (where January 6th came from) was also incorrect.
