While the current production Charger is far from old, there should be a replacement or refresh launching in around four of five years, and Leonhard’s design study gives us an idea of what it could look like if Chrysler’s design team had unrestricted license to create the car however they wished. Leonhard, who hails from Austria, has said that the starting point for his... Full article...

Speaking at a recent supplier conference, Campi said that significant changes in manufacturing and purchasing operations will help reach the target and that any potential savings will be shared among the suppliers as well.

Anyone can join the forum, including consumers who have never previously owned a Chrysler product. The idea of a forum, rather than using expensive and time-consuming focus groups, has been a long time coming considering the amount of free ideas and feedback Chrysler could gain with...

Nardelli expects sales this year to drop below 15.5 million units, down from 16.1 million the year before, and is predicting 2009 will have an even lower tally. Chrysler sales in the U.S. have already dropped 15.5% in the first three months of the year... Full article...

The changes are wrapped up in a plan called “Fight Back” that the carmaker is rolling out to parts suppliers this week, and things are set to kick off with a realignment of the Dodge Avenger and Chrysler Sebring lines. What the new fighting strategy means is that the Avenger and Sebring may lose their top trim levels while some... Full article...

Even with the worsening U.S. economy and fluctuating exchange rates and commodity prices, CEO Bob Nardelli is confident Chrysler will be profitable within the next couple of years despite predictions the market will remain sour. Analysts expect U.S. auto sales to fall to 15.5 million cars this year, down from 16.1 million last year, but despite his... Full article...

Last year we saw officials axe cars like the PT Cruiser convertible, Pacifica, Crossfire and Dodge Magnum, and now there are reports that even more models will be dropped from the current lineup. Earlier this month Chrysler revealed its new ‘Project Genesis’ turnaround strategy with which it plans to drop overlapping models that share common platforms and compete in similar segments. The carmaker’s President, Jim... Full article...

But Chrysler isn’t counting itself out yet. Repackaging the Chrysler structure as a smaller, lighter company is going well, according to Chrysler’s top executives, but it’s not going to be quick - or painless. Though they don’t hold hope for a profitable... Full article...

The latest step is an elimination of all ‘twin’ models - cars that look essentially the same, based on the same platform, that target the same buyers, but sold under different brands. Prime examples of the failed ‘twin’ scheme include the Dodge Avenger/Chrysler Sebring pair, the Jeep Liberty/Dodge Nitro, and the Chrysler Aspen/Dodge Durango... Full article...

The head of Chrysler was not disappointed though, stating the company was on track to meet the goals it had promised new owner Cerberus Capital Management. While Chrysler hasn’t said when it expects to return to profitability, Nardelli was keen to demonstrate just how willing the carmaker was to turn around its fortunes through producing a quality product. Nardelli told the SAE World... Full article... Article added: 2008-04-20 07:58:56 Article Views Rating: 169 |
