Canadian Auto Workers Union head Ken Lewenza went to meet Chrysler Group CEO Sergio Marchionne pessimistic and left very optimistic about his family of Canadian auto workers and Chryslers future.

“I left feeling pretty good, and, frankly, I went there pretty down,” said CAW President Ken Lewenza.  “We got a lot off our chest,” Lewenza said of the meeting, adding that he was also surprised by the fact that “there was nothing negative in the meeting.”

The top CAW members were also shown the next generation 300C that they stated was lower, sleeker and had L.E.D headlights.  They were also told that the Windsor built Chrysler and Dodge minivans would be better differentiated from each other in appearance (and in price too I must add, as Sergio plans for Chrysler to take out Caddy) and that a smaller sized van for global consumption would be produced (as earlier reports have stated).

The meeting, which was to last just 3 hours, ended up lasting over 6 and included Sergio taking them out to dinner at a local fish restaurant.  Other information included Marchionne saying that any plans to produce Alfa’s in Brampton are too far off yet but there are long term plans in place for production of the 300, Charger and Challenger at the Brampton plant.

Sergio also reiterated that the Vans, small Jeeps and other models would be completely revamped and show up by 2011 fists blazin’.

Expect much of this to become much clearer on November 4th when Chryslers new owners unveil their dramatic 5 year business and product plan to the media at their tech center in Michigan.
