Jeep responds to JLR ?
Jeep Wrangler responds with 2020 news. Interesting to see Willys name back even if used the wrong way round.
The special model for Ireland is frankly odd.

"The Willys... starts at $35,235 for the two door"

That is the most annoying thing about the JL Wrangler, in the US one can be bought for around £30,000.
Here we only get the option of higher spec models starting around £46,000 including UK taxes.
I'd have one tomorrow for £30k.

Back to the original question, Jeep isn't responding to anything JLR have done, they have limited edition models every year.
Last year's "not quite a Rubicon" model was the Moab edition, it also had rock rails, LSD and off road tyres.
They have previously done a Willys model of the old JK Wrangler, I think that was 2016, so it's nothing new.

Whatever the make is better than the old defender or (probably...) the new one

And then you come to my place and shopping for a Wrangler starts at 90k euro. I’d have one tomorrow for 46!

Crazy taxing Hollanders. Here in expensive Switzerland you have a Sport as of ~~50.000€, and a Rubicon as of ~~60.000€, all taxes included. And a full tank on delivery. Cool
Eric You never actually own a Defender. You merely look after it for the next generation.

I think there'll be a rename for that model if they sell that here!
