First off, we applaud anyone who gets the title as an old school 80's pop-culture reference. Over in Russia, Fiat is considering opening a Jeep plant, which will produce models like Jeep Liberty for Europe, one of Jeep's largest growing markets (aside from North America, obviously).

Chrysler CEO Sergio Marchionne is on a mission to boost sales throughout Europe. Chrysler's deliveries outside North America jumped 41% in 2011 to about 105,000. Aside from a Russian-based operation selling throughout the region, a China-only Jeep model may be produced and sold there by 2013 or 2014.

"Russia seems to have enormous demand for passenger cars and SUVs," said Hans-Peter Wodniok, an analyst at Fairesearch Germany. "The factory could become a success if Fiat and Chrysler produces not just a single model there. I see as essential that this facility will be flexible."¹

Sales of new cars climbed in Russia to 2.8 million this year, the Association of European Businesses estimates. Deliveries of vehicles from outside these nations climbed 39% last year to 2.65 million as well.

Fairfield Auto Group - 5071 Lycoming Mall Drive, Montoursville, PA 17754 has a full line-up of Jeep vehicles to choose from.
