Chrysler
Chrysler is preparing to build a small car that will be offered by Dodge. They are set to start testing the car this next half of the year. The head of production for
Chrysler has said that the small car is set to be built in Belvidere, Illinois
Chrysler plant starting in August. With the production of this small car for
Chrysler, Fiat is going to meet the standards that the United States government has set in place to regulate just how much Fiat can purchase of their stake in
Chrysler. And Fiat is planning to increase their stake through this production decision.The design work on the car has already been completed and they are simply ready to start building and testing these out to see if the small cars are something that the world would be interested in buying.
Chrysler has said that they are really focused on making sure that this works for them. After all, it would be the first small car that
Chrysler has on the market for consumers to choose from. And it could mean the beginning of a whole new market for Dodge.
The requirements for Fiat to increase their stake in
Chrysler means that
Chrysler has to make sure that they have a small car that is going to be able to get forty miles per gallon.
Chrysler believes that they are going to be able to get Fiat the stake that they want in the long run because they do believe that they are going to be successful with the car that will get forty miles per gallon. And they realize just how big of a deal that this could be for the company at large.Once the production begins and the testing has been done and everything is in tip top shape,
Chrysler believes that they could have something to offer on a trial basis at the beginning of the first quarter of next year.
Chrysler has been in the news recently as the basically the Cinderella story of the auto industry. Most people had thought that
Chrysler was history, but they have proven that they have what it takes to succeed and to grow in the economy. They are now in the news for the improvements that they have made that has put them a long way with consumer reports. Consumer Reports has said that of the eight models that
Chrysler has to offer right now that they tested all of them and found that four of these models had made significant improvements to the handling and performance, while also making improvements to the interior finish as well. The other four models were still lacking behind, but there is no reason why they too cannot be improved over time.
Consumer Reports said that the Dodge Durango and Charger are the two vehicles that have improved the most, which is good news for those that are considering these vehicles. They also pointed out that the
Chrysler Town and Country also improved quite a bit from what it used to be. Though this is all good news, Consumer Reports is quick to point out that the company still has a long way to go before they are back on top in the auto market.
The magazine points out that most of the vehicles that are being offered by
Chrysler are still mediocre, and that the competition is still outweighing them in almost every category. Therefore, if
Chrysler is really wanting to make a difference, then they are going to have to change a lot of their vehicles.
For
Chrysler, this is known news. However, we cannot dismiss just how much effort they have put in thus far for the vehicles that they released. From a company that most people thought would perish, to what they are today is an amazing feat. Give them a few more months and more than likely the vehicles will be up to the standards or by passing what Consumer Reports has laid out.
