Quote from the article:
| Marchionne told an industry conference here that sales of the redesigned Grand Cherokee will begin in July. Chrysler plans to have 100 percent of its existing lineup refreshed or replaced by the end of 2012, as a wave of new products derived from the alliance with Fiat S.p.A. begins to gain strength. The Grand Cherokee, assembled in Detroit, was Jeep's second-strongest U.S. seller last year, accounting for about 22 percent of the brand's volume. The company hadn't previously spelled out a schedule for the redesigned version. Marchionne said he is pushing for “an attention to quality that is probably unprecedented in Chrysler.” |
