執行緒： 菲亞特-克萊斯勒更新

設定可能是 Fiats Balocco 測試機能，但該日屬於 Jeep 及其管理。 從總裁兼執行長邁克・曼利（ Mike Manley ）往下看，來自吉普車的資深高管獲得了他們首次將標誌性品牌出售給歐洲和英國記者選擇的機會。

它顯然是對新夥伴關係的巨大熱情，以及它可以作為 Jeep 國際產品計劃負責人史蒂夫 - 巴託利（ Steve Batolli ）的機會，他向我解釋：它真正令人耳目一新，飛雅特（ Fiat ）採取了我們能迅速完成的事情。 每一面都有敞開的大門，真正渴望得到最好的 [技術] 的人。 技術轉移的速度讓我印象深刻；它的鼓勵和速度比賓士車快十倍。

最新的大切諾基公司是與菲亞特結盟的第一輛汽車，它的工廠是第一個採用 Fiats 世界一流標準的克萊斯勒汽車組裝設施，其員工培訓時數為 45，000 小時。

Manley 透露，新的 B 段 SUV 可能從菲亞特公司分拆出來，將在 2013 年推出，並在美國和義大利兩地組裝。 那一年還將看到一個全新的大切諾基和一個面子上的愛國者/羅盤。 所有未來的範圍將包括「步道」模型，真正的對吉普車 DNA進行研究。

事項忙不低於在菲亞特新熊貓在今年年底之前到達和瑪莎拉蒂發展寶馬 5 系列挑戰者，因為它在努力提高其全球銷售足跡。

Alfa Romeo 將首先在去年 3 月在日內瓦啟動的 4C ，接著是一輛 SUV，甚至瑪莎拉蒂在 2014 年推出了 SUV 趨勢，我們已經知道新的 Lancia Thema 將在最新的 300C 平臺基礎上獲得支援。

The setting might have been Fiats Balocco test facility, but the day belonged to Jeep and its management. From president and CEO, Mike Manley downwards, there was a raft of senior execs from Jeep getting their first opportunity to sell the iconic brand to a selection of European and British journalists.

Its obvious theres a massive enthusiasm for the new partnership and the opportunities it can deliver as Steve Batolli, head of international product planning for Jeep, explained to me: Its really refreshing, Fiat has the approach that we can get things done pretty rapidly. There are open doors on each side with a real desire to get the best [technology] from one another. I am really impressed with the speed of technology transfer; its very encouraging and ten times faster than with Mercedes.

The latest Grand Cherokee is the first car out of the alliance with Fiat and its plant is the first Chrysler assembly facility to adopt Fiats world class standards following a total of 45,000 hours of employee training.

Manley revealed that a new B segment SUV, likely to be spun off Fiat underpinnings, will be launched in 2013 and assembled in both the States and Italy. That year will also see an all-new Grand Cherokee and a face-lifted Patriot/Compass. All future ranges will include a Trail Rated model, true to the Jeep DNA.

Matters are no less busy at Fiat with a new Panda arriving before the end of this year and Maserati developing a BMW 5-Series challenger as it strives to increase its global sales footprint.

Alfa Romeo will come to the States first with the 4C launched at Geneva last March followed by an SUV, even Maserati gets in on the SUV trend with its own spin-off in 2014 and we already know that the new Lancia Thema will be underpinned by the latest 300C platform.
