Here's a snap from the window sticker of the Gladiator that I took delivery of two days ago. The engine is still very much Italian (and the transmission is German):
The engine is a VM Motori L630 and is shared by other cars—notably some Maseratis.

Took delivery of my Rubicon JT on the 18th. Stumbled across the exact configuration I was looking for at a local dealership ... and that was that!
