Curious
which of its models Fiat plans to send over to the United States to sell through its planned partnership with Chrysler? Wonder no more. The most recent set of documents filed in Chrysler's Chapter 11 proceedings offer a number of intriguing clues as to what we can expect to see in the coming years.
Tom LaSorda, current ChryCo Veep, suggests that Fiat has agreed to assemble a vehicle using its C-EVO platform at one of Chrysler's
underutilized U.S. plants. Further, Robert Manzo, executive director of Capstone Advisory Group, has specifically named the
Fiat 500,
Grande Punto and
Panda (tellingly, Manzo
called the Panda a Jeep) along with the
Mito and
Milano from Alfa Romeo as models coming to the aid of Chrysler.
Joining these new models would also be Fiat's 3.0-liter diesel V6 and 1.4-liter four-cylinder
Multiair engine line, along with the Italian automaker's dual-clutch automatic gearbox, which would replace the units Chrysler will no longer
be receiving from Getrag. The biggest question left unanswered seems to be what will be left of Chrysler's current line?
