Contrary to earlier reports, we now understand that Chrysler has decided not to produce the Imperial concept car from the 2006 North American International Auto Show in Detroit. Chrysler had planned to produce a vehicle based on the concept car’s design at the Ontario plant that produces the 300, but, citing federal fuel economy compliance concerns, Chrysler has apparently decided not to produce the car.
The Detroit Free Press reports that the Imperial, which was scheduled to be built alongside the 300 at the Brampton, Ontario, plant, has been crossed off of Chrysler’s production plans. Canadian Auto Workers union president Buzz Hargrove told the paper that Chrysler still plans to produce an additional vehicle at that plant. Chrysler is looking to up output of the plant – just not with the Imperial.
