More Changes For Chrysler Product Plans

Post-bankruptcy Chrysler's product plans have had more episodic changes than the Star Wars franchise, and Automotive News has the latest dirt on what's going on at Auburn Hills. Dodge is set to lose the most, with the Grand Caravan, Journey and Durango disappearing from the lineup. The Grand Caravan may live on in Canada, but Chrysler's next minivan, as well as the next Journey, will become Chrysler products, while an all-new Jeep Grand Wagoneer will take the place of the Durango. On the other hand, a rear-wheel drive vehicle bearing the Avenger nameplate is slated for 2015. Chrysler's larger rear-drive cars won't get a refresh until 2015 at the earliest, while the planned 100C hatchback is dead in the water. An influx of Fiat based product will arrive with a subcompact Jeep and more commercial vans at Ram, while Fiat may see the Panda make its way over here (in a larger form that Europeans are used to). And last but not least, confusion reigns at Alfa Romeo. from The Truth About Cars http://www.thetruthaboutcars.com
