Oh Dodge Dakota, we hardly knew ye.Chrysler (Fiat) is announcing the termination of certain brands and the addition of others.
Next year, be prepared to say good-bye to the Dodge Viper, Caliber and Dakota. In their place, look for a new Charger body style, a commercial van and some kind of new mid-size truck to be named at a later date.
On the larger financial scene, Dodge is planning to introduce a Ram brand, perhaps capitalizing on one of their most popular sales.
Jeep is also saying so long to some models: Jeep Compass, Commander and Patriot. New body styles are expected in coming years for the Cherokee, Liberty and some kind of crossover. The Jeep Wrangler is also expected to be released in 20TEN with diesel engines.
And finally, PT Cruiser fans, it's time to let go of the Monopoly car. Chrysler is pulling the model at the end of next year. But there is a silver lining, Fiat is planning a replacement that will be similar to the Cruiser.
Also look for a new Chrysler 300, Town & Country, Grand Caravan and a new mid-size car in the coming years.
