Chrysler is looking to slaughter one of its Toledo-made SUV twins, the Dodge Nitro or Jeep Liberty. Only one can survive the elimination process, and our money is on the Jeep sticking around, with the Dodge getting the axe in 2012. It's all part of "Big" Bob Nardelli's unrelenting thirst for blood quest to cut back on unnecessary badge-engineered, platform-sharing vehicles that exist only to make dealers happy. Of course, there are talks of Chrysler getting more dealers to consolidate all the brands under one roof. Wait a sec, we're talking about an American automaker? This doesn't make sense ... err, actually, it makes too much sense. [Toledo Blade via AutomobileMag]
