Four months after exiting a U.S.-funded bankruptcy reorganization, Chrysler Group is about to unveil a product roadmap that relies heavily on vehicles from Italian partner Fiat while abandoning many of the U.S. carmaker's own models. The plan, due to be unveiled Nov. 4, involves the reintroduction of Fiat's premium, sporty Alfa Romeo brand to the U.S. starting in 2012, The Wall Street Journal reported. Chrysler also will introduce the 500, Fiat's tiny car that is popular in Europe, to Americans. It won't, however, attach the Fiat name to it. Chrysler meantime is preparing to phase out many of its current models, particularly Dodge cars, the Journal said

I would like Penske to move to Ford, Keselowski and Addington on the box.
I can't cheer for a Dodge but, I like Keselowski.

I can see GM not far behind. It's foolish to pour all that $$ into NASCAR at this time.

Now that we are all stockholders in GM and Chrysler. I think both companies could find a better use of the bail out money.,
