Chief Executive Carlos Tavares is known to be a minimalist so don't be surprised to see some models disappear from showroom floors and maybe the Chrysler brand itself may go.
My prediction is
Chrysler brand retired
Jeep Compass will go
Fiat will become a industry provider with Vans/people mover and commercial vehicles. A lot of badge engineering will happen (same vehicle different logo)
Peugeot will be the staple small to medium sedan and hatch provider.
Dodge will be the muscle car arm BUT that all depends on the USA governments approach with MPG legislation, The 8 speed/hybrid electric transmission may assist in meeting the MPG (see Wrangler 4XE) but if Dodge can't meet the requirements in the USA then I fear they to may fade away or be re-invented as electric muscle cars.
RAM will continue (different MPG legislation for commercial vehicles) but the model lineup may be reduced.
