Chrysler will offer new jobs in Michigan to the majority its workers at a stamping plant in Twinsburg, Ohio, as it closes that facility. The automaker will add some jobs at its Sterling Heights and Warren, Michigan, stamping plants as it facelifts the slow-selling Chrysler Sebring and Dodge Avenger.
The Twinsburg stamping plant, which creates body panels for the automaker’s minivans, is set to close later this year. The workers received a bit of good news last weekend, however, when union officials announced that most workers could be transferred to the automaker’s Sterling Heights and Warren, Michigan, plants. Sterling Heights would get most of the new workers.
Still, the move isn’t likely enough to save the Sterling Heights plant, which is set to close by the end of 2010.

a little bit of goon news for a few people, surprised to see then getting ready for the face lifts so fast. even thought i would like to see the new Sebring look like the 200c that would be a bad idea, but i hope they make it look good.

I think they should buy the Kappa, build their own products from it and build them on the Sterling Heights plant. or build some of the LX or Fiat cars there. the LX Plant would have too much cars to build, 300C, Charger, Challenger, 169, 200C(?), Avenger Successor(?)
Thats 6 cars.

@f50- Sterling Heights is a stamping plant, not an assembly plant.

“facelifts” That’s their answer to everything.
Work on making it a better car first and THEN worry about styling.
Just look at consumer reviews for these cars on Edmunds, etc… complaint after complaint after complaint.
I guess it’s easier to redesign a body than a powertrain.
The more things change, the more they stay the same.
