Four months after exiting bankruptcy, Chrysler Group LLC is about to unveil a product road map that relies heavily on vehicles from Italian partner Fiat SpA while abandoning many of the U.

S. car maker's own models.

The plan, due to be revealed Nov. 4, involves the return of Fiat's premium, sporty Alfa Romeo brand to the U.S. starting in 2012, according to people briefed on the plans. Chrysler also will introduce to Americans the 500, Fiat's tiny car that is popular in Europe.

Fiat and Chrysler also are working on several new vehicles with Fiat technology for the U.S., including a midsize Chrysler sedan slated to be released in 2012, according to these people.

At this point, I'm extremely optimistic for Chrysler's future.

Let's hope that these efforts aren't 'dumbed down' for American consumption.

We'll See Soon Enough...

Fiat bought(?!?!) its stake in Chrysler to get its products back into the US. It has little interest in the brands Chrysler and Dodge. This 5 year plan, should Fiatsler last 5 years, will devolve into FIAT/Jeep/Alfa Romeo/Ram when the next plan is revealed. That actually doesn't sound so bad, huh.

I'd rather be stuck driving an ugly Chrysler then a metro sexual fiat/alfa.

I guess you have never driven an Alfa Romeo.
