Fiat CEO Sergio Marchionne apparently planning to introduce a new set of Jeep SUV based on the different brands of the Fiat group. The Marchionne said during a press conference at which it was actually the quarterly balance sheet of Chrysler. Accordingly, imagine Marchionne, to build on the platform of the new Jeep Grand Cherokee SUVs for Fiat, Alfa Romeo and even Maserati.

Also, a Chrysler version would be possible - Chrysler vehicles sold in Europe will trade under the Lancia label. Marchionne said that Fiat had underestimated the quality and robustness of the new Grand Cherokee. The platforms are certainly so for more powerful engines.

The piquancy of this planning: the new Jeep Grand Cherokee, in the U.S. is already a huge best seller and is with us at the end of the market based on the Mercedes M-class. Ex-partner Mercedes had the technology transfer at the time agreed. The net effect would therefore drive the future Alfa and Fiat models with Mercedes technology.
