    Fiat Chrysler Automobiles Skips Detroit Debut, Announces Debut At CES

      FCA heads to CES to debut a new vehicle, not Detroit

    Fiat Chrysler Automobiles will not be debuting any new products Detroit Auto Show, instead announcing that it will be debuting a vehicle at the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas.

    “As with any international auto show, sometimes product cycle launches do not coincide with show dates,” said Rod Alberts, NAIAS executive director to the Detroit Free Press.

    Stephanie Brinley, senior analyst at IHS Automotive agrees with Alberts. FCA is right in the middle of developing the 2018 Jeep Wrangler and next-generation Ram 1500. Both models are expected to be revealed within the next 12 to 18 months.

    “Not having a car in Detroit is much more about FCA's product development life cycles than anything else. I am certain it's not a decision that was taken lightly," said Brinley.

    This isn't the first time that Chrysler skipped debuting a new vehicle at the Detroit Auto Show. Back in 2010, the company was beginning to recovery from bankruptcy.

    FCA isn't saying what they'll be showing at CES, but sources tell Bloomberg that it will be an electric vehicle based on the Chrysler Pacifica.

    I think product cycles has very little to do with it actually, because they can always plan ahead and show a concept aligned with important shoes.  They should show something to get FCA fans excited about future products, in one of the bigger shows in their hometown.

    This IMHO is further proof of how near FCA is to Bankruptcy again. They have stolen all the Profits for stupid worthless Alfa and to shore up Fiat. A dead product line that should have stayed in the history books and one that needs to die due to poor quality products that most informed buyers stay away from.

    They can show off what ever EV product they want, but I doubt we will see it in production any time soon.

    Excuses, excuses excuses, the next company to die, get broken up and transform probably to mostly Chinese control.

    They will still be at the show, they just won't be showing a new model.  If the new model is an all electric vehicle it actually makes a lot of sense debuting it at CES where tech is at the forefront.  I disagree they are near bankruptcy, but they have a plan to be financially solvent by 2018.  if that works out and they are back in the red by then, we will start seeing an influx of models, which is basically already being shown to be in development (Next Ram, GC, Wrangler, 21 LX cars, etc, etc).  The automotive industry does not work fast folks.

Many other americans are phoquing clueless to  trump's bullshyte!!!   Phoque that!!! There are only a hair above 40 million Canadians. There are a hair below 350 million americans.  trump said and continues to say that he and the usa does not need anything Canadian.  So phoque trump and phoque the usa!!!  Let americans visit and tourist las vegas and any other american area.  desantis who says continually "who needs Canadians?" and he FALSELY claimed last December  that florida had record breaking visitors mocking Canada's boycott to florida!!! Like I said...fix your OWN shyte!!!  Let the mayor of las vegas strike up a deal and pour marketing money INTO florida begging floridians to visit las vegas.  There are a hair below 25 million a&&hol3s in florida. floridians could visit las vegas!!!  And las vegans and nevadans could return the favour and visit Disney...  In fact, all of america could visit there OWN phoquing country and do their own phoquing tourist vacations within their OWN phoquing dumb a$$ country!!!

      I find it funny that the Mayor and other politicians are begging Canadians to return to Vegas, but Mexico has won out, so I do not see them returning and the amount of visitors to Vegas has dropped to levels from 2000 to 2003. Billions lost and deserved based on the stupidity of the U.S. Canadian airlines are abandoning Las Vegas at levels not seen since 2006
