The car’s platform sharing comes as a result of the alliance between Fiat and Chrysler, the US manufacturer’s 300 model sharing the same underpinnings as the Charger.

Analysts at the company also said the Fiat 500 will be produced in Toluca, Mexico, for sale in the United States beginning in July 2011.The 500 is expected to reach a sales volume of 25,000 units in 2015, it added.
