Fiat will produce Chrysler's in Italy, but which vehicle will they produce over there?
Fiat recently announced it has plans to produce vehicles at the old Bertone plant in Italy, according to Fiat and Chrysler CEO Sergio Marchionne. However, he declined questions on which specific vehicles will be made there and when production will start at the Turin plant.
The most likely vehicle that would be built there is a replacement for the European version of the Chrysler 300C, where production in Europe is currently handled by Magna Steyr, the contract manufacturing arm of Magna International Inc.
Magna Steyr also produces the Jeep Grand Cherokee for Chrysler, however the contract to develop those ends in mid-2010. It’s rumored that Chrysler and Fiat may move production of this vehicle to Turin as well.
Vehicle production at the told Bertone plant could start as early as 2011.
