That's what happens when you write nothing but negative garbage that you've pulled out of thin air.

This is the same guy who said Chrysler was being killed off at the Capital Market Day event on June 1st...

If we can just make up news about companies we don't like, I'd like to start a rumor that the Ford F-150 is being discontinued.

People always wonder why it sounds like FCA doesn't know what they are doing... and that is because of articles like that.

Not to pile on,but another sample of Larry article being BS is the Jeep Truck:http://www.toledoblade.com/business...p-toledo-assembly-complex/stories/20180923047

"That second plant won’t reopen for the Jeep pickup production until sometime during the first half of next year."

Larry falsely states "late 2018".

I note the local UAW Union wants a third shift instead of FCA's use of overtime and light weekend production. They also want Toledo another plant because the locals (including the state) carved off significant real estate for FCA's use....(not going to happen but somethings to lookout for in the upcoming UAW contract bargaining ).

3rd shift would be much better in the long term, so long as they can keep up with the maintenance of the line. But it would also mean a significant investment in the workforce. Still, between the quality of output from Toledo, the backing by the local gov, and the demand for all things Wrangler it might be a good investment. Course that’s easy for me to say...it’s not my money!

As jk phases out JL production will need to ramp up, then JT will start but really is it more then the JK and KL unless JL can be made at a quicker clip?
