[thematrixhasu]

ok just got some good news from my source if resume speed or anyone else want to chime in and give me some clearification it would be nice.
First all 2011 model launches has been pushed up and will launch first quarter 2010 and the access to the new fiat profolio will launch in late 2010-early2011 new small car and midsize cars based upon the fiat rebranding
Things are looking up for chrysler...I got a feeling though that some people knew about this but couldnt say nothing. untill now

I see it as a win win for both companies as under the agreement, Chrysler will have access to all Fiat group vehicle platforms, which would complement Chrysler's current product portfolio with fuel-efficient, environmentally-friendly small cars and powertrain technology.

Fiat would benefit from product and technology sharing as well, with access to Chrysler vehicle platforms and manufacturing capabilities in North America. Both would be able to expand to markets previously unavailable to them.

This plus the zero percent loans there talking about may keep them afloat. If they can make it all I see is good coming out of this.

pushed up? 300M and the current 300 series were launched in spring. this pattern exists since 1999.

Geesh.. The cars on the Fiat website are soooo fugly and small. If Fiat tries to influence Chrysler's "bold" designs we are doomed.

^^That Fiat looks like some wind-up car and like the one my dad owned in the 60's that was crushed in a t-bone wreck.

Think big and bold Fiat!



But this is probably what the Fiat stockholders have in mind.


But we all know what they should do.

dont forget lancia (www.lancia.com) is owned by fiat also and abarth which is a good compliment to chrysler stable plus all of the engines including diesel technology

Since they already moved the new generation from 2012 model year to 2011 it would be difficult to bring it out any earlier. The information I have access to still shows a July 2010 production launch. It's *possible* they could start production in May or June 2010 but unlikely before that.

^^So resume, I assume they will show them in la/detroit next year? Also, styling wise, is the 300 similar to the 200c, and the charger the challenger?
thanks
