Yup, eu is taking pre orders for mid October delivery. They have tossed around jan 2015 as us release repeatedly. That gives them about 2 months to build and ship initial us dealer allocation, so it is not too absurd.
Not telling us the price until they are on the boat would be absurd. V
Stranger things have happened. Maybe they (FCA) will publish the prices as specific US production starts, or just before it starts. That may give a little credence to pre-ordering a new Renegade. Publishing prices for pre-ordering could come as soon as September or October. I say this because the new season of auto shows is about to begin. There are “International Auto Shows” starting as soon as October 2014.

The Orange County Auto Show in Anaheim California being the first one on this list. It is October 2-5, 2014. Check the list to see if there is one close to you. There are other International Auto Show besides the ones on this list.
Seeing as the E.U. is taking pre-orders for a mid-October delivery, it would not be out of place to see pre-orders for the US start some time in October or September seeing as there are Auto Shows for the 2015 line up starting in October 2014.
What I’m getting at is there will be the infamous “
Camp Jeep” at the Orange County Auto Show and probably other auto shows. The
hours of operation: OPEN DURING ALL PUBLIC SHOW HOURS. Thursday, October 3, 4 pm – 10 pm, Friday, October 4, 12 noon – 10 pm, Saturday, October 5, 9 am – 10 pm, and Sunday, October 6, 9 am – 7 pm.
They state the “
Ride & Drive Vehicles” will be the Jeep Wrangler Unlimited, Jeep Grand Cherokee and Jeep Cherokee. They also state that it is “Subject to change”. The “Subject to change” might mean a Renegade will be in the mix. It can mean other things too, but we won’t go there. Seeing as Jeep has already showed a Renegade at one auto show in southern California, maybe they will again and maybe there will be a price associated with it. If the Renegade is not part of the “
Camp Jeep” mix, then it will more than likely be on the floor in the Jeep section for all to see and examine.
