Billy Billy Posted November 20, 2015 Author Report Share Posted November 20, 2015 (edited) Yea I agree and it will be based on the Chrysler 200 which is based on the dodge dart which I truly believe is based on a fiat small car platform so yep I agree Edited June 21, 2016 by jkeaton dhh3 and jkeaton 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

priell3 Posted November 20, 2015 Report Share Posted November 20, 2015 Yea I agree and it will be based on the Chrysler 200 which is based on the dodge dart which I truly believe is based on a fiat small car platform so yep I agree We had a 2013 Dart and liked everything about it except for sitting so low. Prior to the Dart we were in modestly lifted Wrangler Unlimited. This nearly got me a speeding ticket: ​ dhh3 and Billy Billy 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B4ZINGA Posted November 20, 2015 Report Share Posted November 20, 2015 The shifting sands of rumors indicate that the next Journey depends on what it is you're envisioning... Chrysler is gearing up to build a Chrysler-branded crossover based on the RU minivan architecture in Windsor, which would very likely fit the Journey's current role of a FWD family hauler. It doesn't yet have a confirmed name, though Caravan and Pacifica are thrown around (Pacifica was recently trademarked). The next Dodge crossover will very likely be a sister to the Alfa Romeo crossover that is in development on the new midsize RWD Giulia platform and will replace the JC-based Journey. Toluca assembly will be shutting down early next year for a few months while it retools and modernizes, then will resume production of Journey and 500 as they are now. Rumor has it Journey production will eventually shift northward, though I wouldn't anticipate that happening until the new design is ready. With Alfa taking precedence, that won't be for a few years yet. Sergio has shown an interest in moving 200 and Dart down to Toluca where labor is cheaper, and Journey up north where high labor has less of an impact on FCAs bottom line (SUVS and trucks have higher profit margins). Naturally, this is all speculation. Take it with a grain of salt just large enough to satisfy the DOTs needs in the Great Lakes region for the next few winters. dhh3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dhh3 Posted November 20, 2015 Report Share Posted November 20, 2015 Now to add fuel to the fire. The Cherokee, 200 and Dart are all based on a FWD compact Alfa Romeo compact car. Alfa is getting ready to introduce a medium size RWD car with a Ferrari V6, sharing many Meserati parts also. This RWD platform will be used for the next generation Avenger and Journey. Dodge is going to be the low priced performance Division and Alfa will be the higher priced performance division. This means that all Dodges will eventually be RWD; then what happens to the Dart?

Woah322 Posted November 21, 2015 Report Share Posted November 21, 2015 Amazing, had 3 Journeys already and couldn't tell the difference between them and now any hopes of change are shot till 2018, 2019. People are going to loose interest in the vehicle if it doesn't change with the times and modernize dhh3 and jkeaton 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ltdjourney Posted March 22, 2016 Report Share Posted March 22, 2016 You think this could be the last year for the Journey suv replaced by the Pacifica ?????? who knows dhh3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dhh3 Posted March 23, 2016 Report Share Posted March 23, 2016 Sergio now says the 200/Dart Factory is going to be used to produce Rams. Low fuel prices = bigger sales numbers and higher profits. He is not going to build any new factories; he is looking to out source the Dart/200 production. I think he has been drinking too much Italian Expensive Red Wine! GM must have empty factories after dropping 4 brands. Ford should also have one or two after dropping Mercury, and the Crown Vic. jkeaton 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silenze Posted March 23, 2016 Report Share Posted March 23, 2016 I havent heard of any shortage of ram trucks or jeeps. I wonder if the capacity is really needed. I think its very short sighted. But we all knew fiat was going to run Chrysler into the ground. Its actually taking longer then i expected. jkeaton, dhh3 and larryl 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
