    In reply to European-Sold Chryslers To Be Built In Italy
    As long as they're designed in Italy, too, I could be okay with this. I don't mind wrenching on a car I love but hate doing so on one I don't. Having owned almost exclusively Italian cars and Chryslers in this decade, I shudder at the prospect of a Caravan with traditional Alfa/Fiat reliability. A Chrysler-badged Alfa, though, might be worth taking a ratchet to.

    In the late 80's, early 90's you could buy a "Chrysler Voyager" in France with a diesel engine. These minivans were shipped without a drive train from the US to a Magna-Steir plant in Austria where the engines were added.

    Anyone else notice that the pentastar logo is back? I don't recall the old Chrysler LLC using it much if at all but it's prominently used on the new Chrysler Group LLC website.

    @solracer: They've been using it since the Daimler split. I've only ever seen it on the corporate site, parts and in news coverage. I'm kinda surprised they haven't used it in advertising or dealer signage to better promote the three product lines together.
