Spyshots: Jeep Junior Spied during Winter Testing

Over the weekend, we showed you two brand new sets of spy photos showing the Jeepster, Jeep's brand new B-SUV undergoing testing in Italy. Now, another identical car has begun to stretch its legs in Northern Sweden.

The test engineers seem to be having a lot of fun, which is surprising the Junior doesn't look like fun. What it does look like is a box on wheels, like a slightly taller Nissan Cube with a Jeep grille.

Fiat is probably trying to push forward with rapid development of the car in order to take advantage of the growing market for B-segment SUV or city SUV. These are little more than crossovers with increased clearance, but are ideal for most families, which is why both Fiat and Jeep will have a version of this vehicle, built on the same line in Italy.

Rumors suggest that debut date has been set of this March's Geneva Motor Show, but we're not sold on the idea. Considering prototypes have only just begun testing, it's probably too early for a reveal.

Mihnea's favorite cars have already been built, the so-called modern classics from the '80s and '90s. He also loves local car culture from all over the world, so don't be surprised to see him getting excited about weird Japanese imports, low-rider VWs out of Germany, replicas from Russia or LS swaps down in Florida.
