Yeah we would've seen spy shots long before now if it were being formally introduced in a couple of weeks. Heck, here are spy shots of a seemingly almost-ready-for-production 3-row Jeep that no one knows for sure what model it is or even what market it's for.

Not sure what you mean here. Who cares what sales of actual 2019 MY cars are. All that matters is total vehicles out the door each month and the faster they can get a redesigned (and more competitive) vehicle out to the lots the better for sales. Still amazes me that a 7-year-old design is still the best selling vehicle in the class, until I remember that they're also the most heavily discounted. Imagine what sales will explode to the minute they release a brand new, head-of-the-class redesign.
