rperez817 Posted November 1, 2018 Share Posted November 1, 2018 Jeep Wrangler sales of 13,318 vehicles pushed the calendar-year-to-date totals to 204,269 vehicles.

If Jeep Wrangler can keep up that rate of sales growth for the next couple months, it may come close to matching Honda Accord sales by the end of 2018.
