    Just read this little bit of news on the "Car Talk" site, and was wondering what y'all think...

    "But the other day FCA (Fiat-Chrysler Associates) really blew the thinking automotive world’s collective mind by announcing that as part of a mid-cycle course correction it intends to stop building its Chrysler 200 and Dodge Dart sedans. The space in its factories that these models’ cancellations free up will be turned over instead to the important work of building more Jeeps and RAM trucks – crossovers, sport utilities, and pickups, vehicles thirsty, thirstier and thirstiest. No one wants to buy Darts and 200s anymore, FCA says. But there is a bottomless demand for trucks and truck-identified cars."

    Does that mean Fiat/Chrysler is getting more serious about building the Jeep Pickup, and maybe a revised version of the Dakota?

    I believe they already confirmed a Jeep Pickup.
