    “Marchionne wants face-lifts of at least five models by mid-2011. These include the Chrysler Town & Country and Dodge Caravan minivans and the Dodge Caliber, Jeep Compass and Jeep Patriot compact crossover utility vehicles. Chrysler also will revamp its iconic PT Cruiser.”

    The PT is in fact surviving =)

    Glad to see the Dream 5 Series being revamped for Australia

    Nearing the end of it's lifecycle? Did it have a life in the first place??? Maybe this model will allow them to sell 5 this year instead of 4.
