tiptronic 08-21-2009, 01:44 PM As from 2011 the Compass will beproduced in China. It will be manufactured by a Chinese company that is a partner of Fiat .The Compass will be a Chrysler/Fiat/ Chinese venture. I am not sure if this is to completely replace Compass production in North America!! Kahbrohn 08-21-2009, 02:19 PM Interesting... An Italian car made in China for the US. Or is it an American car ordered by Italians to be built in China? Or is it a Chinese car with an American name but Italian blood? No... no... no... no.... That's not right. I know what it is.

UA_who 08-21-2009, 03:21 PM That tells you something is wrong, when it is cheaper to build a car in China and ship it back, than to build it here in the first place. Labor costs are way out of wack here, or way out of wack the other direction in China. Armando Pineda 08-21-2009, 10:26 PM the compass will be cancelled here in the u.s. It will offiicially be anounced in Sept. Keeping Fingers Crossed 08-21-2009, 10:34 PM Careful. things produced in China are generally counterfeit/knock offs...or replicas as they seem to enjoy calling them tiptronic 08-22-2009, 09:31 AM I have a feeling that the Chinese produced model will be for Chinese /Pacific Rim area only . It will not be exported back to the USA/NA/Europe as by then it will have allready deleted from the catalogue. TMan 08-22-2009, 10:19 AM I agree that the production will likely be for the Chinese and Asian market, with none being shipped to North America or Europe. If memory serves me correctly, they are still even making XJs in China for the Chinese market.

Not sure if there is an updated version yet.

Probably not for US sales.. most likely. Jeepster55 08-23-2009, 06:56 PM As from 2011 the Compass will beproduced in China.

I'll just be happy with the one that I have for now.. Jeepster55 09-03-2009, 08:24 AM I like the 'Chinese' Jeep in my avatar........just wonder about it's durability. imazzius 09-15-2009, 05:21 PM Interesting... An Italian car made in China for the US.
