Fiat sources said yesterday at the company’s 5-year business plan
presentation that Fiat Group will assemble two Chrysler brand
models in Italy. The two models include the next-generation
Sebring sedan. Under the plan, Fiat and Chrysler will produce more
vehicles for each other to take advantage of purchasing and other
operations for maximum efficiencies of scale.
In 2013, Fiat will build a mid-size sedan in Turin “that will be
primarily produced and distributed for Chrysler in the U.S.,”
Marchionne said. Sources said that the model will be the next
Sebring.
A year before that, Fiat will build a new compact sedan in Italy
that will be distributed in North America under the Chrysler
brand.
Alfa Romeo is also planning a rear-wheel-drive roadster for 2013
that could be build in Canada or Italy. In the United States,
Chrysler will build two Alfa Romeo SUVs – a compact SUV in 2012
and a larger model in 2014.
Chrysler could also export a Fiat-built subcompact in 2013 for
both Chrysler and Dodge.
