    It's no secret that Chrysler's future plans are in a constant stat
    of flux right now. After all, the automaker just went through
    ridiculously fast bankruptcy where bits and pieces were shed befor
    stewardship was handed over to Italy's Fiat. It's only natural tha
    Chrysler's new management would need some time to get itsel
    organized

    According to The Toledo Blade, Chrysler decisionmakers are still up i
    the air as to how the Toledo North Assembly Plant figures into th
    company's future roadmap. Previously, Chrysler said the Ohio facilit
    would build three new SUVs based on Fiat's C-Evo platform to replac
    the Jeep Liberty and Dodge Nitro

    Apparently, however, Chrysler has three plants that could build th
    new 'utes – Toledo, Belvedere, Illinois and Sterling Heights
    Michigan. The reality is that the Pentastar really only needs two o
    them to handle the project. Alternately, all three could build th
    vehicles using fewer shifts. At this point, it's anyone's gues
    which, if any, of these facilities will be left out in the cold, an
    what the resulting employee impact will be
