    FCA Ends Right-Hand Drive Production of Chrysler and Dodge Models

      Though Australia's FCA office says they'll continue to sell RHD versions of the 300

    Fiat Chrysler Automobile has quietly ended production of right-hand drive models from Chrysler and Dodge. According to South Africa's Wheels24, the announcement comes as FCA drops Chrysler and Dodge from their South Africa lineup.

    "FCA will say a fond farewell to two of the mainstay car brands, with the Chrysler and Dodge vehicle ranges no longer being available locally. This unfortunate situation has arisen from our principals in the USA no longer building Chrysler or Dodge vehicles in Right Hand Drive configuration," the company told Wheels24.

    According to Allpar, FCA built RHD variants of 300 and Charger in Brampton, Ontario, and Pacifica and Grand Caravan in Windsor, Ontario. It is unclear if this move will affect other markets where FCA sells RHD models such as Australia, New Zealand, and Indonesia. When reached for comment by Australia's CarAdvice, FCA Australia's manager of public relations Alessia Terranova said,

    “I am not at liberty to comment on South Africa’s decision. What I can tell you is that Australia will continue to sell the right-hand drive Chrysler 300 as an ongoing product in our lineup. In relation to Dodge, at this stage, this brand is represented as a parts and service operation only.”

    We'll keep you posted on this story.

    The Good news is that Studebaker will be coming back...in that more continuation Avanti's will be built out of spare parts found in barns....than actual Alfa products in about three years....

    You will be able to have any color you want so long as it is black...as all three cars they build for the US market will be black.

    One more nail in the coffin, and we are running out of both coffin and nails.

    R.I.P. to American Brands around the world as FCA wastes the profits on trying to restart Italian Socialist crap build models.

    So FCA is Italian controlled corporation with headquarters in London.

    Doesn't it make Chrysler and Jeep now foreign companies?

    Yea, new ubber expensive HQ where he is never really at and FCA is actually incorporated in Sweden or some other northern germanic country. Very crazy way to minimize paying taxes while raiding the company for personal gain. All about Sergio the Dictator Idiot.

    In my mind it does.

    These were never popular or big sellers in right hand drive countries, so not surprised. 

    They are increasingly unpopular in left hand drive countries as well.

    I suspect that sales of left hand drive Chryslers will end production in a couple years.

    What I thought too, but apparently 2 new crossovers are in developement and should be out in a couple years wearing the Chrysler badge.

    Will Chrysler even be around in a couple more years at the rate Sergio is destroying the nameplate? <_<

    It was supposed to be coming based on the Alfa platform, but I think like the upcoming Chrysler crossovers, it will be based on a highly updated version of the Cherokee platform.

      Its a beautiful picture.  A general and random thought it may be, but the picture itself should be immortalised in here. Thanks for sharing it with us.  @trinacriabob

      I'll never forget the times I've gone across the pond on BA 747s...or on trips to Hawaii where I walked through the open air concourses and they were parked close by, where I could them up close and huuuuge...love those those bigguns.

      I think they knew all along and were in denial.  I think that there are a lot of stupid people in our country, but it would surprise me if that many are that stupid.  They needed something to pin their hopes on, like some sort of Anti-Christ, or a scapegoat.  If anything, it could be the beginning of the ending of a very bad era. One very good sign is when Google Maps will show the inscription Gulf of Mexico ... again.  About two weeks ago, the wind blew off a baseball cap I was wearing.  That meant I had to grab my U-Dub baseball cap, which is kind of obnoxious, since it's all purple.  In no time flat, I found a large variety of Gulf of Mexico baseball caps online and for great prices, so I will be ordering one in about a week.  When I was on the ship that sailed out of Tampa in April for that repositioning voyage, there was a human p. o. s. up by the pools talking to someone and wearing a Gulf of America cap.  I wanted to say something, but I held back.  I thought that tacky people took short cruises to Mexico and the Caribbean, but I guess they cross oceans, too.  Money does not buy class.  Coincidentally, the perfect example of it is Agent Orange.  Merry Christmas to those who celebrated as such or happy holidays.  One of the things I will be celebrating with is a new Gulf of Mexico baseball cap.

      Good morning ... ... I think I'm dreaming ... That it's (still) so incredible, that I'd like to be on one, and that I'd like to be somewhere warm and/or beautiful. While probably meant for the Airplanes thread, I thought I'd make it a general share

      This is good to see that high school educated people and those with no education at all are waking up to the fact that Idiot47 has been lying the whole time now that life is tough for everyone. Donald Trump’s approval rating flips with least educated Americans
