FCA and PSA discussing potential merger

[Galaxy]

More then 2/3 of the merged FCA-PSA vehicles will be on PSA platforms.

Jeep and RAM will continue to use separate platforms.

I hope the Giorgio platform survives

Also, I hope the marvelous Fiat centoventi isn't shelved because of this, but I suppose it might fall between the chairs, now.

I wonder if the 90's E-Class platform will stick around, since Dodge sells to law enforcement and LEO is stuck on the "big V8 + RWD" formula. Can't put a Hemi in a 508...

Maybe the Giorgio platform will work for both?

It would suck it they abandoned RWD for Dodge and AR

I doubt they will last much longer. Then agaon as long as the Challenger, and Charger are selling in acceptable numbers....


I have to say I am surprised that PSA platforms are that competitive that they will dominate PSA-FCA.

Wonder what they will call this conglomeration?  I hope it is a real name and not an alphabet soup.

Most of the FCA platforms are pretty old.
