Chrysler - Piano di rilancio 2010-2014 (slide a pag.1)

Grazie.

Quanto alla scelta di lasciar Chrysler fuori dall'Europa, nonostante tutti i problemi a livello di immagine fuori dall'Italia, cerchiamo di prenderla dal lato positivo: a questo punto, se Lancia fa in tutto e per tutto le veci di Chrysler in Europa, dovrebbe avere una gamma decisamente ampia, con D, E, crossover e se siamo fortunati anche una cabrio.

e soprattutto avere la rete di distribuzione di Chrysler che non so quanto sia estesa fuori dall'Italia, ma immagino più della sola Lancia...

Chrysler non verrà cancellata dall'Europa, solo da alcuni mercati.

Chrysler non verrà cancellata dall'Europa, solo da alcuni mercati.

Diciamo che rimarrá solo in Germania, Uk, Benelux?

Ma se ci sono piani svelati da Francois di concessionari/rete vendita dual-brand/bimarca Lancia-Chrysler entro Q4/2010....ancora a credere all'abbandono del mercato europeo?

MAh, concessionari dual brand con auto "gemelle" Chrysler/Lancia? Per me c è qualcosa che non quadra. O i modelli Lancia basati su Chrysler saranno veramente molto diversi (altro che rebadging) o la storia dei dual brand non è più attuale..

FUTURE PRODUCT -- CHRYSLER Chrysler's Fiat-influenced product plan crosses brands

Automotive News

November 9, 2009 - 10:10 am ET

By 2014, 12 nameplates from Chrysler, Dodge, Jeep or Ram will have heavy Fiat influence. They will either be developed on Fiat Group platforms or rebadged and imported from the Fiat Group.

For example, a fwd Lancia will be badged as a Chrysler. A subcompact Jeep will share a platform with the next-generation Fiat Panda Cross. A redesigned Chrysler Sebring and Dodge Avenger will evolve from an unspecified Fiat Group platform.

Chrysler's newest brand, Ram, will add two rebadged vans from Fiat.

Rear-drive vehicles, namely trucks and big cars, will continue to be Chrysler's area of expertise. The next-generation Charger will woo baby boomers, with styling cues drawn from the iconic 1968-1970 Chargers.

Meanwhile, Ram executives say the model line will be expanded up to Class 5 medium-duty trucks. It is an effort to push Ram sales over the 400,000 mark. Last year, Chrysler sold 245,840 Rams

While V-8 engines such as the Hemi will continue to play a prominent role in the automaker's largest vehicles, Fiat's four-cylinder engines will rule elsewhere. Displacements will range from 1.4 to 2.0 liters.

Chrysler executives project that in 2014, Fiat-derived engines will account for 42 percent of the company's mix. Chrysler's new Pentastar V-6 family, developed before Fiat came on the scene, will account for 38 percent.

Hybrid development will continue. The 2011 Ram pickup hybrid is slated for next year.

Additionally, Fiat-designed dual-clutch transmissions will be offered, beginning at the end of 2010.

Listed below are Chrysler Group's future vehicle plans through 2014, from the company and other sources. All references are for the calendar year.

Se queste info hanno fonti affidabili, come volevasi dimostrare (recuperate un mio post di qualche settimana fa) la prox berlinona Lancia sarà su base Sebring più che 300C (anche se le voci che dicono 300C sono sempre esistite in azienda).

Il piano, che da buon DNA fiat è a brevissimo periodo, è il massimo della razionalizzazione possibile oggi.

Bisogna capire cosa succede DOPO il 2012 (forse Napoleone sa qualcosa che noi non sappiamo - lui è Giacobbo?? )

Se è così, finite seghe sul posteriore... almeno si guadagna dietro qualcosa meglio dell'interconnesso.

Imho è la soluzione più facile e veloce vista l'achitettura

spero cmq in un ricarrozzamento pesante...la sebring è orrida

E' comq la prox, non certo l'attuale.
