JEEP CHEROKEE 2020: 10 THINGS TO KNOW

Slightly redesigned in 2019, the Cherokee remains a popular Jeep. If we notice especially the Wrangler on our roads, without roof, without doors and sometimes even without shoes in the driver’s feet, the Cherokee is fighting hard not to fall off the podium. Add to that a pedigree that isn’t worm-eaten and you have a recipe for success that even 10 things to know don’t fully explain. But you can always try…

1 Once upon a time

When the United States entered World War II, it decreed that it would need a compact all-terrain vehicle. Two companies raise their hands: American Bantam and Willys-Overland.

The army considered the BRC (Bantam Reconnaissance Car) prototype interesting but it did not have enough torque and the military doubted that the company would be able to provide the required quantity. They then passed on the Bantam design to Willys and Ford, asking them to do better. Their prototypes: the Ford GP and the Willys MA. When a Willys engineer finally slipped a powerful “Go Devil” under the hood, the Willys Model MB won the day.

In production, the army put Willys and Ford to work, while Bantam, after a few units, moved on. The result was the Model MB and the Ford GPW (for Government, P stands for the 80″ wheelbase, and W is a salute to Willys’ design).

2 We are still looking for

Where does the word Jeep come from? As the manufacturer himself avoids clarifying the question, no doubt to thicken the mystery, the suppositions rain down. For some, the name refers to Eugene the Jeep, a comic book animal linked to Popeye and Olive Oyl. He was magical, able to “move anywhere and do anything”, just the pretensions of a Jeep. In short, teleportation before its time!

For others, the name derives from the Ford GPW, although the meaning “General Purpose” of GP is disputed.

A third theory: Jeep would be the acronym for “Just Enough Essential Parts”, the vehicle being the assembly of “just enough essential parts”. Make your choice!

3 What kind ?

By the way, should we say a Jeep or a Jeep? On its website www.jeep.ca, Chrysler describes the Jeep Cherokee, no doubt because it goes straight ahead, goes through everything, is not afraid of anything; in short, it’s manly! Just as we don’t say the RAM, which is a van… Moreover, as the word “jeep” has become generic over time, like “fridge” and “kodak”, we often write the jeep in reference to any all-purpose vehicle. And without capital letters as long as the brand is not mentioned. Come to think of it, in parallel with the current news that puts the spotlight on non-gender individuals, the Jeep is perhaps the unisex vehicle of choice…

4 To me! No, to me!

As early as 1943, Willys applied for copyright of the Jeep name but the courts ruled that the original design belonged to Bantam. Never mind, Willys marketed the CJ-2A in 1945, the first “Civilian Jeep” intended for the general public. And then, since Willys was the only post-war company interested in assembling jeeps, it was finally granted the trademark in 1950.

5 The waltz of the owners

The CJ gives the starting signal for an avalanche of by-products: the Jeep Station Wagon (1946), the Jeep Truck (1947), the ancestor of the Gladiator, the Jeepster (1948). In 1953, Kaiser Motors bought Willys, which became Kaiser-Jeep in 1963. American Motors Corporation (AMC) acquired Kaiser’s Jeep division in 1970. Renault begins to invest in AMC in 1979 before Chrysler Corporation buys AMC in 1987, essentially to get its hands on Jeep (Chrysler will drop all other AMC activities).

6 Follow the guide!

At www.jeep.ca to shop for your Cherokee 2020, you will find nine models. Actually, there are six and three packages (North Altitude, Trailhawk Elite and High Altitude). The six versions are Sport, North, Trailhawk, Limited and Overland. Uh, Mr. Columnist, that makes five… The North splits up, as it can be had in 4×4 and 4×2, the only model in the family to be satisfied with front-wheel drive if that’s what you want.

All other versions come standard with all-wheel drive, but it’s not even that simple yet. There are, in fact, three kinds of 4x4s for the Cherokee…

For Sport 4×4, there’s no choice, it inherits the Active Drive I system. The North, Limited and Overland variants come standard with Active Drive I but can be upgraded to the optional Active Drive II. Finally, the Trailhawk comes with Active Drive Lock, a system exclusive to the Trailhawk.

7 Him or him?

Let me guess your next question: what are the differences between these three 4x4s? The Active Drive I is not a constant drive, like Subaru for example. Rather, it allows the rear axle to be uncoupled if electronic sensors judge that road conditions do not require all-wheel drive. You then drive in 4×2 mode to save fuel. The system reverts back to 4×4 whenever necessary, without driver intervention.

Active Drive II adds low speed all-wheel drive, which locks the driveshafts on demand to ensure you’re all-wheel drive. It’s great for getting out of a rut or for towing. Plus, Cherokee’s ground clearance with Active Drive II increases by 1″ (2.5 cm).

Finally, the Active Drive Lock system uses the capabilities of the Drive II and allows the rear differential to lock, which sends equal torque to each of its wheels. For serious off-road enthusiasts.

8 Trio of mills

In addition to the two well-known engines, the 271-hp 3.2L V6, a washed-down version of the 3.6L Pentastar, and the 184-hp 2.4L Tigershark 4-cylinder, FCA recently added a 2.0L, 270-hp, turbocharged 4-cylinder that’s more expensive than the V6 and similar to the one that rumbles under the bonnets of the Wrangler and Alfa Romeo Giulia and Stelvio.

This trio of machines is backed by a 9-speed automatic transmission in place since 2014, which was groundbreaking, but has since come in for criticism because of its frequent hesitations.

Finally, although the base 2.4L can only tow 2000 lbs, the V6 manages with 4500 lbs (2041 kg), 500 lbs more than the turbo.

9 A forerunner

The Cherokee’s career began in 1974 as a 2-door version of the Jeep Wagoneer (1962 to 1991), while ousting the disappointing Jeepster Commando. The 4-door version of the Cherokee was born in 1977. To appeal to a younger customer base than the venerable Wagoneer, marketing gurus coined an expression to define the newcomer: Sport Utility Vehicle (SUV). These three words have never left our automotive lexicon!

10 A long C.V.

To underline its 2nd generation (1984), the Cherokee abandons ladder construction in favour of a monocoque body, another first. The public loved this idea, which gave the comfort of a car to a “truck”. Rivals take notes.

The Cherokee’s popularity is such that when the time comes for the 3rd generation (2002 vintage), Chrysler launches the Grand Cherokee while its famous little brother becomes the Liberty in North America (but keeps the Cherokee name elsewhere in the world). Then begins its period of compact SUVs, until the Compass/Patriot duo makes it into the even smaller one in 2007.

A year later, the fourth generation was greeted, still under the Liberty name, while Dodge entered the fray with a twin brother named Nitro.

With the 5th generation (2014) begins the crossover period: the Liberty name is retired, the Cherokee name is revived and the vehicle is slightly enlarged to justify the arrival of the Jeep Renegade.

11 Signature visuelle (boni !)

The famous seven-bar vertical grille that makes a Jeep’s front grille as recognizable as a Rolls-Royce’s was originally new, based on Ford’s original design for its GPW. To better cook a hamburger says the legend…

Future Cars: FCA’s Next Five Years

Sergio Marchionne has rolled out his third five-year plan for FCA, and with it a torrent of teases of vehicles the automaker plans to have on the market by 2022. Not all may make it. With nascent trade wars and the rise of populist nationalism threatening the intricate supply lines of the world’s most globalized industry, FCA, like other automakers, is facing one of the most challenging business environments in decades. And with Marchionne planning on stepping down soon, his successor may wish to place his own stamp on FCA’s future product strategy.

Marchionne made it clear FCA’s product push over the next five years will center around four key brands: Jeep, Ram, Maserati, and Alfa Romeo. “These four are our global brands,” he said bluntly. “They account for about 80 percent of earnings.”

Chrysler, Dodge, and Fiat scarcely received mention during the day-long presentation. Virtually every reference to the 62,000 minivans FCA will supply to self-driving technology developer Waymo described them simply as Pacifica Hybrids; only Marchionne used the “C” word when talking about the Pacifica. Once.

Dodge wasn’t mentioned at all, until the post-presentation Q&A session, when someone asked the inevitable question. Marchionne’s response? “Dodge is a North American brand.” He also hinted that to save money future Dodge vehicles may be developed off a heavily re-engineered version of the current LX architecture rather than move to the premium Giorgio platform than underpins the Alfa Romeo Giulia sedan and Stelvio SUV. Marchionne notes that while Chrysler will be a “people mover” brand, Dodge will be a performance-oriented brand.

Other nuggets: Marchionne said talk of major sales volume for the Fiat brand in North America is “a waste of time.” Along the way, he announced the Punto, a Golf-sized hatchback, is to be discontinued, and that Fiat’s focus will be switched to hybrid and BEV powertrains for the 500 family and Panda in a bid to give the brand a more premium position in Europe. The Fiat 500e will sit on a dedicated electric platform. And Maserati boss Tim Kuniskis gave credence to rumors of an all-electric Ferrari supercar when he announced all future Maserati powertrains—including the high-performance three-motor BEV—would be supplied by Maranello.

Here’s what FCA is planning for Jeep, Ram, Alfa Romeo, and Maserati over the next five years.

  JEEP

Here’s how much the automotive landscape is changing: Jeep boss Mike Manley never once used the term SUV during his presentation. To Manley, and the rest of the on-message FCA senior management team, Jeeps are UVs—utility vehicles.

Why the semantics? Jeep is working on two vehicles, one the size of a Cherokee and the other the size of a Renegade, that combine the all-wheel-drive traction and configurable interior of a conventional SUV with the handling and dynamics of a car. These “urban UVs” will also feature a low roofline and what Manley calls “command-of-the-road” ride height.

Other new Jeep models in the pipeline include an all-new model smaller than the Renegade, and the long-awaited Jeep midsize pickup truck, which, according to the rumor mill, will be called Scrambler and will arrive in April 2019. A three-row model will join the Grand Cherokee, a key move as 60 percent of that segment of the SUV market is three-row, Manley noted. Topping the expanded Jeep lineup and accompanying the Wagoneer will be the flagship Grand Wagoneer, which is expected to go on sale in the U.S. in 2020.

The Trailhawk (ultimate rock-crawling capability) and Trackhawk (ultimate on-road capability) variants of selected Jeep models have proven such sales successes that Jeep is introducing a third capability sub-brand, Deserthawk, that will be applied to Jeeps with high-speed off-road capability in sand. Manley expects Deserthawk models to comprise up to 10 percent of total Jeep sales, delivering a $5,000 to $10,000 increase in transaction price.

Jeep is also going electric, with eight PHEV models on sale in the U.S. by 2022. There will be two basic formats. Vehicles with front-mounted engines and all-wheel drive/rear-wheel drive, such as Wrangler and Grand Cherokee, will feature an e-motor mounted between the internal combustion engine and the transmission that will allow low range rock-crawling in pure EV mode. Vehicles built around a front-wheel drive architecture, such as the Renegade and Cherokee, will have a rear-mounted electric motor driving the rear wheels. Four BEV Jeeps will be available in China, including an all-electric version of the Grand Commander.

  RAM

FCA calls it “The Raptor Effect.” With options and extras, the average transaction price of Ford’s desert-racer spec F-150 is about $71,000, or a healthy $28,000 over the average F-150. What’s more, Raptor buyers are younger than the average F-150 buyer, and earn twice the median income. To FCA product planners, that’s the definition of a market opportunity. So it’s no surprise the Raptor-fighting TRX, previewed as a concept at the Texas State Fair, has been greenlit for production.

The TRX will be the halo model of the Ram 1500 lineup. There is no official word on powertrains, but sources are suggesting an entry-level model with about 520hp, while the top-line model could get a version of the 707 hp Hellcat V-8.

Also coming is an all-new Ram Heavy Duty, scheduled for launch in January 2019. The current truck is the oldest in the segment. FCA says the new model will offer a stronger diesel engine than any of its Ford or GM rivals.

The success of midsize pickups such as Chevy’s Colorado in the U.S. market has also been noted at FCA. But the midsize Ram pickup currently under development is also aimed at European, Asian, and South American markets, where the segment is booming. The midsize Ram will share its underpinnings with the similarly sized Jeep Scrambler, including the similar rear axle design, and the availability of a hybrid powertrain.

  ALFA ROMEO

“We underestimated the complexity of the industrial process, and we underestimated the reaction of our German competitors,” said Marchionne of Alfa Romeo, sales of which have been slower than expected. But FCA is doubling down on the storied Italian brand, with two new SUVs and two new sports cars—each reprising an iconic Alfa model name—joining the Giulia sedan and Stelvio SUV by 2022.

The all-new Alfa Romeo 8C will be a 700-plus horsepower Acura NSX fighter, with a mid-mounted twin-turbo engine driving the rear wheels, and an e-motor driving the fronts. This Alfa supercar’s chassis will be made from carbon fiber, and FCA says we can expect scintillating performance, with a projected 0-60 mph acceleration time of less than 3 seconds.

The Alfa Romeo GTV is a four-passenger coupe that will share its chassis structure and powertrains with the Giulia sedan. It will have sleeker, sexier sheetmetal and 50/50 weight distribution. Top-spec QV versions will have all-wheel drive and more than 600 horsepower courtesy of an e-motor mounted between the engine and transmission.

In terms of ensuring the brand’s long-term viability, however, the two new SUVs—one smaller than the Stelvio, the other larger—will be the most critical vehicles Alfa Romeo launches in the next five years. While the midsize premium SUV segment in which the Stelvio competes is expected to grow from 1.6 million units sold last year to 2.2 million units by 2022, sales of compact and full-size premium SUVs are expected to grow to a total of 3 million units.

The smaller of the two Alfa SUVs will be the size of a Jeep Compass, and is likely to share its platform architecture, which means transverse-mounted engines. The larger SUV will be built on the plus-sized Giorgio architecture shared with the next-gen Jeep Grand Cherokee. Both will be available with PHEV powertrains.

With three SUVs, two sports cars, the Giulia sedan, and a new front-wheel-drive Giulietta hatch for the European market, FCA aims to be selling 400,000 Alfa Romeos a year by 2022.

  MASERATI

Maserati’s lineup will be entirely renewed by 2022, led by a refreshed Ghibli sedan and a redesigned Levante SUV that will share its underpinnings with a redesigned Quattroporte sedan. The GranTurismo coupe and GranCabrio convertible will be replaced by coupe and convertible versions of the Alfieri, both of which will be built on a version of the Giorgio platform.

New to the Maserati lineup will be a Stelvio-sized SUV, which FCA hopes will help boost the brand’s overall sales to 100,000 vehicles a year by 2022.

Maserati will offer four BEV models, versions of the Quattroporte, Levante, and the Alfieri coupe and convertible, all marketed under the Maserati Blue label. The cars will feature three e-motors—one at the front axle, two at the rear—and all-wheel drive with active torque vectoring. Maserati boss Tim Kuniskis said the electric-powered version of the Alfieri coupe will have a top speed of close to 200 mph, and will accelerate from 0 to 60 mph in about 2 seconds.

“Some think we’re targeting Porsche, and some think we’re targeting Tesla,” said Kuniskis. “We’re targeting both.”

Alfa Romeo Plans Two New Sports Cars by 2022; Maserati Electrifies Alfieri

BALOCCO, Italy — Alfa Romeo resurrects its iconic 8C sports car and brings back its GTV nameplate, while Maserati’s new Blue sub-brand will build a battery electric Alfieri based on the concept car and add electrified versions of the next Quattroporte and Levante, all by the culmination of Fiat Chrysler’s new Five Year Plan, in 2022.

Ferrari will supply internal combustion, hybrid, plug-in hybrid and pure electric powerplants to all future Maseratis, said the marque’s chief, Tim Kuniskis. Fiat Chrysler’s premium Italian brands also are committed to Levels 2 and 3 autonomous technology by ‘22.

Jeep is launching a new Desert Hawk chassis package to its lineup of Trail Hawk and Track Hawk models, beginning with the next-generation Grand Cherokee, Jeep, and Ram marque chief Mike Manley announced, plus a new three-row midsize SUV probably based off the Grand Cherokee. The Jeep Wagoneer and Grand Wagoneer are scheduled for the 2020 calendar year, while the Jeep Scrambler pickup based off the JL Wrangler is due next year.

But wait, there’s more.

“By ’22, we will launch a midsize pickup truck” under both the Ram and Fiat brands, Manley said. He confirmed Ram will produce the TRX extreme performance off-roader based on a 2016 concept, to compete with the Ford F-150 Raptor. Ram will unveil the next generation heavy duty pickup truck line at the North American International Auto Show, January 2019 in Detroit.

Kuniskis described the next 8C as having a carbon-fiber monocoque chassis, twin-turbo mid-engine V-6, electrified front axle with all-wheel-drive, more than 700 horsepower (combined) and sub 3.0-second 0-62 mph acceleration.

“We (Alfa) will launch a sports car in every segment, including C- (compact utility vehicle) UV, and full-size UV,” Kuniskis said at Fiat Chrysler’s Five Year Plan/Capital Markets Day at Alfa’s test track facility outside Milan.

The new “heart of the market” GTV will have 50/50 weight distribution, 600-plus horsepower with E-Boost, all-wheel-drive with torque vectoring and four-passenger seating. A teaser image shows a rakish coupe vaguely similar in shape to a BMW M4.

Other new Alfas by ’22 include a new, compact SUV and a full-size SUV. Alfa will redesign the Giulietta compact within five years, though it’s not clear whether it will come to North America. Long wheelbase versions of the Giulia and Stelvio are planned for the Chinese market.

All new models will include some form of electrification, and six models will be available as plug-in hybrids.

Kuniskis said the Maserati Alfieri will be built on a modular spaceframe, available as a battery-electric and plug-in hybrid. The PHEV will feature e-AWD with lightweight components lending to a weight gain of just 385 pounds over a comparable internal combustion-powered model. The full-EV Alfieri will have a top speed of 300+ kp/h, or more than 186 mph, and a 0-62 mph time of less than 2.0-seconds.

By 2022, Maserati will launch a new Levante, Ghibli, and Quattroporte in addition to a new smaller, midsize “D-segment” SUV, and the Alfieri. All will be electrified, with PHEV powertrains, and will have Level 3 autonomous capabilities. The Alfieri, Alfieri Cabrio, Quattroporte, and Levante will be available as pure battery-electric vehicles under the new Maserati Blue sub-brand.

When Fiat launched the 500 EV, Fiat Chrysler CEO Sergio Marchionne famously asked consumers to “please don’t buy one,” because each cost the company $14,000 over its asking price. But this new Five Year Plan sees a full reversal of that attitude.

In addition to the premium priced Maserati and Alfa Romeo EVs and PHEVs, Jeep plans a plethora of electrified vehicles by culmination of the plan in calendar year 2022, and they’re all designed to make a profit. By then, Jeep will offer fully electric versions of its new Renegade, refreshed Compass, Wrangler (China region only), the new Cherokee, its low D-segment three-row, the Grand Commander just launched in China, and Jeep Wrangler Scrambler pickup truck. All models, including the E-segment three row, Grand Cherokee two-row and Wagoneer/Grand Wagoneer will be available as PHEVs.

Addition to the Jeep brand of the E-segment three-row, which it does not name, hints at the eventual demise of the Dodge Durango, which currently shares its platform with the Grand Cherokee. The all-new Jeep Grand Cherokee, planned for calendar ’20, will move to Alfa Romeo’s Giorgio RWD-based platform. Automotive News reported last September that the next-generation Dodge Journey will become a performance two-row SUV using the Giorgio platform.

There also have been rumors that Fiat Chrysler would kill the Chrysler marque with this plan. In Fiat Chrysler’s 2014 Five Year Plan, the Dodge Charger and Challenger were to be redesigned for the Giorgio platform. The 2018 Five Year Plan is the first of Fiat Chrysler’s three that do not have presentations on the Chrysler, Dodge, or Fiat marques (the first plan, in 2009, also included a product plan for Lancia).

This year’s marks the last Five Year Plan presentation for Sergio Marchionne, who is retiring as Fiat Chrysler’s CEO by the end of this year, though he retains his position as Ferrari’s CEO. He donned a necktie, reportedly for the first time in more than a decade, quoting Oscar Wilde that “a well-tied tie is the first step in life…” (Marchionne wore his under a sweatshirt, loosened at the neck).

Marchionne wore the necktie in honor of Fiat Chrysler’s impending retirement of its industrial debt, which he said will happen this month. The 2018 Five Year Plan reflects the company’s runaway financial success (analysts estimate 70 percent of its profit comes from Jeep), due in large part to its concentration on SUVs and trucks, and on the Jeep, Ram, Maserati, and Alfa Romeo marques.

Marchionne said of elimination of the debt that “this is nothing to brag about… it doesn’t make us better than others. It makes us better than we were.”

More to come when Marchionne takes questions, first before a group of investment analysts, then an international group of reporters in the Fiat Chrysler Five Year Plan afternoon session.

Ram will unveil the next generation heavy duty pickup truck line at the North American International Auto Show, January 2019 in Detroit.

Kuniskis described the next 8C as having a carbon-fiber monocoque chassis, twin-turbo mid-engine V-6, electrified front axle with all-wheel-drive, more than 700 horsepower (combined) and sub 3.0-second 0-62 mph acceleration.

“We (Alfa) will launch a sports car in every segment, including C- (compact utility vehicle) UV, and full-size UV,” Kuniskis said at Fiat Chrysler’s Five Year Plan/Capital Markets Day at Alfa’s test track facility outside Milan.

The new “heart of the market” GTV will have 50/50 weight distribution, 600-plus horsepower with E-Boost, all-wheel-drive with torque vectoring and four-passenger seating. A teaser image shows a rakish coupe vaguely similar in shape to a BMW M4.

Other new Alfas by ’22 include a new, compact SUV and a full-size SUV. Alfa will redesign the Giulietta compact within five years, though it’s not clear whether it will come to North America. Long wheelbase versions of the Giulia and Stelvio are planned for the Chinese market.

All new models will include some form of electrification, and six models will be available as plug-in hybrids.

Kuniskis said the Maserati Alfieri will be built on a modular spaceframe, available as a battery-electric and plug-in hybrid. The PHEV will feature e-AWD with lightweight components lending to a weight gain of just 385 pounds over a comparable internal combustion-powered model. The full-EV Alfieri will have a top speed of 300+ kp/h, or more than 186 mph, and a 0-62 mph time of less than 2.0-seconds.

By 2022, Maserati will launch a new Levante, Ghibli, and Quattroporte in addition to a new smaller, midsize “D-segment” SUV, and the Alfieri. All will be electrified, with PHEV powertrains, and will have Level 3 autonomous capabilities. The Alfieri, Alfieri Cabrio, Quattroporte, and Levante will be available as pure battery-electric vehicles under the new Maserati Blue sub-brand.

When Fiat launched the 500 EV, Fiat Chrysler CEO Sergio Marchionne famously asked consumers to “please don’t buy one,” because each cost the company $14,000 over its asking price. But this new Five Year Plan sees a full reversal of that attitude.

In addition to the premium priced Maserati and Alfa Romeo EVs and PHEVs, Jeep plans a plethora of electrified vehicles by culmination of the plan in calendar year 2022, and they’re all designed to make a profit. By then, Jeep will offer fully electric versions of its new Renegade, refreshed Compass, Wrangler (China region only), the new Cherokee, its low D-segment three-row, the Grand Commander just launched in China, and Jeep Wrangler Scrambler pickup truck. All models, including the E-segment three row, Grand Cherokee two-row and Wagoneer/Grand Wagoneer will be available as PHEVs.

Addition to the Jeep brand of the E-segment three-row, which it does not name, hints at the eventual demise of the Dodge Durango, which currently shares its platform with the Grand Cherokee. The all-new Jeep Grand Cherokee, planned for calendar ’20, will move to Alfa Romeo’s Giorgio RWD-based platform. Automotive News reported last September that the next-generation Dodge Journey will become a performance two-row SUV using the Giorgio platform.

There also have been rumors that Fiat Chrysler would kill the Chrysler marque with this plan. In Fiat Chrysler’s 2014 Five Year Plan, the Dodge Charger and Challenger were to be redesigned for the Giorgio platform. The 2018 Five Year Plan is the first of Fiat Chrysler’s three that do not have presentations on the Chrysler, Dodge, or Fiat marques (the first plan, in 2009, also included a product plan for Lancia).

This year’s marks the last Five Year Plan presentation for Sergio Marchionne, who is retiring as Fiat Chrysler’s CEO by the end of this year, though he retains his position as Ferrari’s CEO. He donned a necktie, reportedly for the first time in more than a decade, quoting Oscar Wilde that “a well-tied tie is the first step in life…” (Marchionne wore his under a sweatshirt, loosened at the neck).

Marchionne wore the necktie in honor of Fiat Chrysler’s impending retirement of its industrial debt, which he said will happen this month. The 2018 Five Year Plan reflects the company’s runaway financial success (analysts estimate 70 percent of its profit comes from Jeep), due in large part to its concentration on SUVs and trucks, and on the Jeep, Ram, Maserati, and Alfa Romeo marques.

Marchionne said of elimination of the debt that “this is nothing to brag about… it doesn’t make us better than others. It makes us better than we were.”

More to come when Marchionne takes questions, first before a group of investment analysts, then an international group of reporters in the Fiat Chrysler Five Year Plan afternoon session.
