The 124 Spider might be selling good, well but they also need a good selling city car/sedan. I hope that the Tipo will be doing good in sales

Well it was predicted. They only sold the Ypsilon, which is slowly fading out, so there is no reason for Chrysler to be in the UK anymore.
As for Fiat, I don't think everything is going as planned. They seem to be focusing completely on SUVs and crossovers, since their other cars don't sell that well (even the Fiat 500 has had its best days), and in the long run, you could ask yourself if the amount of brands they have is really reasonable.

I don't think Chrysler and Dodge have a reason the exist at the same time, and since Jeep has taken over all of the SUVs and Ram became a seperate brand, Dodge has very little to offer except for the Charger and Challenger, which are both dated. (Chrysler only has the 300 (=Charger), and the new Pacifica)

Lancia is definitely disappearing, and I don't see Alfa Romeo sticking around for much longer, so unless they launch a surprisingly successful car out of nowhere, I think Fiat-Chrysler isn't going to get anywhere soon.

I remember reading online (it was either Autoblog.com, or Jalopnik.com), that Fiat dealers were getting more Freemont orders than expected, which tells me it might do pretty well. Hopefully with the refinement of the new 300, it's Lancia Thema version will do very well.

Last Lancias were sold in the UK in 1993.

As Chrysler have a presence in the UK (dealer network, brand recognition etc) but no UK friendly models to sell (the two biggest sectors here are Ypsillon and Delta sized cars and the only other car Chrysler currently sells here is the Grand Voyager) it was decided to sell them as Chryslers.

I don't think it will be hugely successful for them as there is a lot of competition in the sectors and the cars are a bit expensive where Chrysler has always been a cheaper brand.

As a strategy on the whole it is not so bad. The costs of developing new models will be reduced by virtue of sharing them out.

You had to think that Chrysler Ypsilon and Delta are only for UK! And in this country, if i dont do mistake, there isn't Lancia for some years so it's new cars for them and i think it's a good strategy for this 2 Lancia in UK. For Freemont and others, it's not the same thing, Fiat had work a lot to do a very better "Journey" with Freemont (engines, dashboard, suspensions ...).

oh come on, Chrysler does get more and more ridicolous. Chryslers get rebadged to Lancias, Dodges to Fiats and Lancias get rebadged to Chrysler!!

My opinion is i want to buy a Chrysler and not a rebadged Lancia. I want to buy a Dodge with a Dodge-Badge and not a Fiat-Badge. I would never buy a Fiat Freemont, beacuse it has no Dodge-Badge! How far will this sheme go down in its niveau??
