(By Tom Lohnes) – Remember a few weeks ago when we all thought Chrysler was going to die? Well, big people at Stellantis have made multiple claims about Chrysler, and they don’t look too good.

Well, for starters, Stellantis is pushing off Peugeot’s Re-birth into America, which would attract many buyers due to it being a “new” brand. Stellantis is then dipping into Peugeot’s launch fund, and giving 50% of it to Chrysler to get themselves back in shape. Furthermore, Peugeot is sending cars over here just to be rebadged and sold as Chryslers. Talk about a mess. Oh, and we should mention that the other day the SRT division of Dodge was apparently dissolved. Yeah. Bad.

So, what does this mean? Well, the Chrysler lineup of precisely two vehicles as we know it will disappear, and many “American” crossovers and EV’s will come and save Chrysler’s dire financial state. Although Chrysler isn’t dying, their only tie back to their heritage, the 300 sedan, sure is. Likely to be cut for the 2023 model year, this big sedan is dwindling in sales especially compared to it’s far more muscular brother, the Dodge Charger.

In short, Chrysler is about to get a whole lot worse before it gets better. Expect the first French-American Chrysler crossover to debut this year, with many, many more to come.
