Its the 4th revival plan since 2004, and their sales last year were 64,000, which was worse than Saab in its GM days, they need a 159 replacement now or better, when the 159 went out of production, the constant boat anchor called Chrysler is starving funds from Alfa, Colin.

I agree Col - they need to stop planning and start producing.
