Remember what we've been saying about CUVs? Good, don't forget. The miniature SUV market is on the rise and one of the clearest new trend lanes in the automotive industry.

Remember when we took a first look at the Buick Enclave? Good, it's the benchmark in the U.S. market. Jeep plans to go after its crosstown rivals with its own foreign-built CUV—the Enclave is produced in Korea—confirming rumors that a baby Jeep will be built in Italy alongside the the Fiat 500X (pictured above). The investment is huge for Chrysler, but so is the potential of the segment.
