Chrysler CEO Sergio Marchionne recently stated that they would be revealing their 5-year strategy plan in November, but as usual, things are leaking out before the deadline.

I usually dont take these leaked “reports” as anything serious because they are usually fabricated from certain “un-named sources” by some newspaper journalist that essentially went online and read rumors from down-the-line employee’s.  This one holds water though, to a degree.

At the recent Frankfurt Motor Show, during an interview, CEO Sergio Marchionne was yelled to by a reporter: “You have nothing in the pipeline” (product).  Sergio balked back: “Says who!?  Wait until November!”.

So I think its a pretty solid bet that they will unveil plans to have the Dodge Caliber, Jeep Patriot, Chrysler Town & Country and Dodge Caravan face lifted and updated by 2011, as the “report” says.

It also includes information that suggests the PT cruiser will be completely re-done, although seeing that by 2011 would be extremely difficult, even it was a re-skinned Fiat 500 that is supposed to share the line with it in Mexico around the same time.

It also makes sense, because all Chrysler Group really needs is product to bring themselves out of the rut they have found themselves in after being mis-managed by Daimler and slashed up by Cerberus in an attempt to save their investment.

Actual reports coming out now state that there were entire departments carved out of Chrysler by Cerberus and that Sergio is looking to hire back X-employee’s on a contract basis.  Regardless what happens in November, expect the official report to elaborate more on these very subjects.

Refreshed Calibers,Patriots and Vans sharing the showrooms with the new 2011 Charger, 300 and Jeep Grand Cherokee is a pretty good start and to happen at the same time will help this company immensely.
