Fiat look set to bring an electric Fiat 500 concept to the Detroit Motor Show, together with a Chrysler badged Lancia Delta. Chrysler’s home-turf show at Detroit in the New Year will be the first since Fiat got their hands on the American icon, and it looks as if they will use the show for […]
Chrysler drops Electric Cars
Chrysler has all but dropped its plans to get 500,000 electric cars on the road by 2013 in its Five Year Plan. Over the last year or two Chrysler has banged on about their plans to release a raft of electric cars. In fact, they even used their electric car plans as part of the […]
Chrysler’s future will see Lancia back in the UK
Jeep will be the only Chrysler brand to be sold outside the US, with the Voyager and 300C being rebadged as Lancias in Europe. Now Fiat and Chrysler have had time to sort out what the future holds for their joint future we are starting to see some concrete details emerging from the US. Chrysler […]
Dodge Viper axed – but it’s good news
Chrysler has announced that production of the Dodge Viper (SRT-10) is to end in July after a 500 run limited edition. But a new model will arrive in 2012. The Dodge Viper (SRT-10 in the UK) is the car that finally made Europeans realise that Americans could actually make a desirable car. Not just a […]
Dodge Viper to get Ferrari V10?
Chrysler has tried – and failed – to sell its halo super car brand that is the Viper. But why did it want to sell? Surely it makes sense, even in our eco-obsessed world, to keep hold of the one brand that Chrysler has that is recognised throughout the world as important. So, strapped as […]

One of the likely casualties of Chrysler’s woes was the Viper brand. It has been perceived that the manufacture of cars like the Viper lead to the downfall of Chrysler and GM.

Fiat 500 in New York
We reported last week that, contrary to rumours flying around, Fiat will not be taking its range of cars to the States and simply sticking Chrysler badges on. It is their intention to provide platforms and some engines to their newly acquired Chrysler operation, and develop cars in America just for the American market. But, […]
Fiat 500 going to America
After the deal with Fiat to take on Chrysler was officially signed-off today, a few details are now starting to emerge about what exactly Chrysler is going to be building, and selling, now it’s effectively being controlled by Fiat. Many thought there would be an influx of less than reliable, less than worthy Fiats simply […]
Chrysler Bankrupt – Fiat the great hope
So the inevitable has happened. The first of the big three to go bust is Chrysler, now officially in Chapter 11 Bankruptcy. But it’s not all doom and gloom. President Barack Obama announced the Chrysler bankruptcy late yesterday, but said that huge strides had been made recently to keep Chrysler viable in the long term […]
