Three months ago, <a href="http://autoblog.com/make/chrysler">Chrysler</a> - under the control of Italian automaker <a href="http://autoblog.com/category/fiat">Fiat</a> after going through bankruptcy proceedings in the United States - unveiled a sweeping <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/2009/11/04/chryslers-5-year-business-plan-the-product-breakdown/">five-year business plan</a> that would either replace or comprehensively rework every single product in the Pentastar's lineup. Included amongst the casualties will be the <a href="http://autoblog.com/model/patriot">Jeep Patriot</a> and <a href="http://autoblog.com/model/compass">Compass</a> twins at the end of 2012.<br />
<br />
Industry analysts have <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/2009/11/04/jeep-patriot-and-compass-being-replaced-by-models-from-fiat-p/">widely speculated</a> that America would get a version of the Fiat Panda wearing the famous seven-slot <a href="http://autoblog.com/make/jeep">Jeep</a> grille. That vehicle would occupy the small end of the market, meaning that Jeep would need something to fall size-wise between it and the larger <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/tag/grand+cherokee">Grand Cherokee</a>.<br />
<br />
According to <em>Autocar</em>, Jeep will get another new CUV using an as-yet-unknown nameplate (<a href="http://autoblog.com/model/liberty">Liberty</a>?) that would be based on the Fiat's C-EVO platform - which will also be used for a number of Chrysler's midsize sedans and crossovers. We would imagine that the Jeep version would get suitably capable off-road equipment, but that remains to be seen.<br />
