    Fiat Chrysler Automobiles Skips Detroit Debut, Announces Debut At CES

      FCA heads to CES to debut a new vehicle, not Detroit

    Fiat Chrysler Automobiles will not be debuting any new products Detroit Auto Show, instead announcing that it will be debuting a vehicle at the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas.

    “As with any international auto show, sometimes product cycle launches do not coincide with show dates,” said Rod Alberts, NAIAS executive director to the Detroit Free Press.

    Stephanie Brinley, senior analyst at IHS Automotive agrees with Alberts. FCA is right in the middle of developing the 2018 Jeep Wrangler and next-generation Ram 1500. Both models are expected to be revealed within the next 12 to 18 months.

    “Not having a car in Detroit is much more about FCA's product development life cycles than anything else. I am certain it's not a decision that was taken lightly," said Brinley.

    This isn't the first time that Chrysler skipped debuting a new vehicle at the Detroit Auto Show. Back in 2010, the company was beginning to recovery from bankruptcy.

    FCA isn't saying what they'll be showing at CES, but sources tell Bloomberg that it will be an electric vehicle based on the Chrysler Pacifica.

    I think product cycles has very little to do with it actually, because they can always plan ahead and show a concept aligned with important shoes.  They should show something to get FCA fans excited about future products, in one of the bigger shows in their hometown.

    This IMHO is further proof of how near FCA is to Bankruptcy again. They have stolen all the Profits for stupid worthless Alfa and to shore up Fiat. A dead product line that should have stayed in the history books and one that needs to die due to poor quality products that most informed buyers stay away from.

    They can show off what ever EV product they want, but I doubt we will see it in production any time soon.

    Excuses, excuses excuses, the next company to die, get broken up and transform probably to mostly Chinese control.

    They will still be at the show, they just won't be showing a new model.  If the new model is an all electric vehicle it actually makes a lot of sense debuting it at CES where tech is at the forefront.  I disagree they are near bankruptcy, but they have a plan to be financially solvent by 2018.  if that works out and they are back in the red by then, we will start seeing an influx of models, which is basically already being shown to be in development (Next Ram, GC, Wrangler, 21 LX cars, etc, etc).  The automotive industry does not work fast folks.

      I find that at least 2/3 of the chat features on customer service pages of company websites are sort of worthless.

      Thank you.  You learn something new every day! I guess it depends on the Spanish speaking country.  I see this works as well and probably more Latin American. I've always known them to be "billetes aereos" and even "billetes de avion."

      Not quite but I wish... Quebec has had 7 Amazon warehouses.  1 of them tried to unionize and apparently succeeded.  Amazon then closed down their warehouses. 1700 to 1900 jobs lost.  But its closer to 3000 jobs. The Quebec government is going to sue Amazon for illegally closing down its warehouses and for them to re-open them... Amazon said they will be using 3rd party warehouses OUTSIDE of Quebec and using 3rd party delivery services.   https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/montreal/unionized-amazon-warehouse-quebec-concern-1.7441043 https://globalnews.ca/news/10995828/amazon-quebec-legal-challenge-job-losses/ https://www.cnbc.com/2025/02/04/amazon-to-face-legal-action-after-quebec-warehouse-closures.html   In my opinion, Quebec cant really legally force a company to leave.  But Amazon also knew, like every other business wanting to do business in Quebec that Quebec is not anti-union. We are not pro-union per se, we will constantly bitch about the evils of unions, but we dont mind if unions do succeed in forming and well...we let unions do union things.   Weird dynamic. My other opinion is that I wished that we NEVER got these phoquing Amazon jobs here to begin with.  Jobs lost is one thing, but a job like an Amazon warehouse employee will really not help out the economy, nor will it help with unemployment or poverty. It will make it worse.  Amazon warehouse employees arent paid all that much, job security at an Amazon warehouse is not all that great and products sold from Amazon dont do much for the Canadian economy nor for the local (Quebec) economy.  Amazon does not pay any income tax to Quebec or Canada nor does a Quebec Amazon consumer pay any Quebec or Canadian sales tax on what he/she bought from Amazon.  All around shyte from an all around shyte company making billions of dollars for a very shytty person named Bezos. Although admittedly not as shytty as Elon Musk.   eeeee...ah-lmost as shytty as Elon Musk if we are honest with ourselves.  When I heard the news that Amazon was closing its warehouses and a couple of these people were on the news almost crying about their jobs going away, I actually blamed them.  I said to myself, why on earth did you want to be employed there for phoques sake?  You are better off on phoquing welfare!!!   Pride for actually having a job?  Not at Amazon!!! One of the lowest things one could do in life is work for a human being like Bezos...
