Detroit Auto Show: Behind the scenes at Chrysler's design lab
The public will get a good look at Chrysler's electric-car plans today when it reveals two new "production-intent" vehicles at Detroit's North American International Auto Show: a plug-in hybrid version of the Jeep Patriot compact utility and a pure electric vehicle, called the Circuit, based on the British sports car Lotus Europa.
Dan Neil went behind the scenes at Chrysler's ENVI product design division and talked with the folks who are trying to engineer Chrysler out of its current morass. It's a tall order, for sure, but Chrysler has been given up for dead before, only to come roaring back.
