Well, it was a typical entrance for the 2007 Jeep Wrangler. Not typical that new Wranglers are normally shown this way, but typical for what it can, and does, often do.

Buried under six-tons of mud, the all-new 2007 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited was introduced at the New York International Auto Show Wednesday.

Picture this: A fire truck roars in with sirens blaring. The team of firefighters blasts mud off the first-ever four-door Wrangler.

When uncovered, Jeep’s classic featured room for five passengers, removable tops and doors, and class-leading off-road capability.

…and now we have a 4-door Jeep Wrangler. This should be a worthy replacement for the old Cherokee - so all those whining about it’s passing and lamenting the Liberty as it’s replacement can shut up - we now have a worthy successor.
