OUCH-Chrysler Rebukes Romney Jeep to China LIE: "A Leap That Would Be Difficult For Circus Acrobats"Jeep in China

There are times when the reading of a newswire report generates storms originated by a biased or predisposed approach.
On Oct. 22, 2012, at 11:10 a.m. ET, the Bloomberg News report Fiat Says Jeep® Output May Return to China as Demand Rises stated Chrysler currently builds all Jeep SUV models at plants in Michigan, Illinois and Ohio. Manley (President and CEO of the Jeep brand) referred to adding Jeep production sites rather than shifting output from North America to China.
Despite clear and accurate reporting, the take has given birth to a number of stories making readers believe that Chrysler plans to shift all Jeep production to China from North America, and therefore idle assembly lines and U.S. workforce. It is a leap that would be difficult even for professional circus acrobats.
Lets set the record straight: Jeep has no intention of shifting production of its Jeep models out of North America to China. Its simply reviewing the opportunities to return Jeep output to China for the worlds largest auto market. U.S. Jeep assembly lines will continue to stay in operation. A careful and unbiased reading of the Bloomberg take would have saved unnecessary fantasies and extravagant comments.
