#NAIAS: Chrysler Confirms Plans To Build Portal Concept

Fiat Chrysler Automobiles NV plans to build what it calls the “fifth generation” of family haulers.

The automaker expects to produce the Chrysler Portal concept or something like it after 2018, CEO Sergio Marchionne told the automotive press this week at the Detroit auto show. He declined to provide exact timing.

The all-electric, self-driving-capable Portal is being showcased by Fiat Chrysler at the North American International Auto Show. It made its global debut last week at the CES technology trade show in Las Vegas.

Its part of a Sergio plan. You will wait a very long time if it appears at all.

Tom: The transition goes from "hey, what's that" to "same old, same old... with a few style changes here and there."

Building a niche vehicle that no one is asking for while starving your core brands for mainstream product is idiocy. The Portal is smoke and mirrors, but a sale has to be in the works. There's no real development going on.
