Сообщение от Packard

Команда Roush Fenway Racing построила первый СОТ Ford Mustang, который примет участие в четырех гонках серии Nationwide в 2010 году...

А это точно боевая машина?
Передняя панель, вроде бы, другая, сплиттер без болтов, спойлер вместо крыла...
Может, предполагаемые перемены в СОТ, которые после обкатки попадут на старшие машины?

Похоже, что это все-таки боевая машина...

Dodge on the way out?: UPDATE: Four months after exiting a U.S.-funded bankruptcy reorganization, Chrysler Group is about to unveil a product roadmap that relies heavily on vehicles from Italian partner Fiat while abandoning many of the U.S. carmaker's own models.
The plan, due to be unveiled Nov. 4, involves the reintroduction of Fiat's premium, sporty Alfa Romeo brand to the U.S. starting in 2012, The Wall Street Journal reported.
Chrysler also will introduce the 500, Fiat's tiny car that is popular in Europe, to Americans.
It won't, however, attach the Fiat name to it.
Chrysler meantime is preparing to phase out many of its current models, particularly Dodge cars, the Journal said.
(MSN Money), doesn't mentioned which Dodge models will be part of the phase out or how this move will affect the teams in NASCAR that run the Dodge Charger.(10-29-2009)

UPDATE: According to the Wall Street Journal, which claims access to people who have seen Fiat's plan for Chrysler, many of the recent rumors regarding current models are incorrect, and Chrysler will incorporate more Fiat Group products than expected.
Vehicles planned for the US, according to the Journal article, include a replacement for the Chrysler Sebring, based on a Fiat design.
The PT Cruiser, Sebring, Avenger, Compass, Caliber, and Patriot will all have their final year in 2012, with even the popular Dodge Caravan ducking out; the Chrysler Town & Country will be Chrysler's sole minivan, according to the article, though historically the Caravan has sold better.
The Nitro will also be dropped. To be kept are the Dodge Challenger and Dodge Charger.(allpar.com)(10-29-2009)
