Chrysler Town and Country: it will change vocation

In his obsession to rationalize the number of models offered through its brands - Chrysler, Dodge and Jeep - Sergio Marchionne, the boss groups Fiat and Chrysler LLC will put an end to duplication.

A very smart way to make if one considers that the very large majority of Chrysler dealers offer in one place, all five brands belonging to the American group, property of the Italian Fiat.

After the elimination of the Dodge Caliber and Nitro models, here it will be the turn of the Chrysler Town and Country, in their current form, disappear.

The Jeep Compass will be definitely abandoned.

The minivan will become crossover

We also learned that the next Chrysler Town and Country minivan will of the category to that of a crossover vehicle, while maintaining its iconic name.

Although the story does not say whether the Dodge Grand Caravan minivan will disappear, one can believe that it will leave its place a new vehicle, because now Chrysler Town and Country and Dodge Grand Caravan are assembled Ontario plant Windsor and remain produced in this factory.

Bet that this new model will carry the name Town and Country in the United States and the Dodge Grand Caravan on Canadian soil, because Americans buy more Chrysler Town and Country while the same is true for Canadians Dodge Grand Caravan.

I would not be surprised to see vehicle in January at the International Motor Show in Detroit.
