Default Article states Durango gone after 2015

As a part of Fiat’s big shakeup, the Dodge Durango is being showed the door for the 2016 model year, making the 2015 model the last, at least for now. This decision comes despite a fairly recent overhaul, which made the Durango more desirable than ever. Fortune magazine theorizes that the car could be spun into a future three-row, seven-passenger Jeep model, as the brand has been carrying much of the Chrysler Group’s growth weight, alongside Ram, while the Dodge brand has been stumbling

Well if that is indeed the case, I'll have to think about whether or not I'd want a 2017. Sure seems like a bonehead move, and I am not particularly wild about the "Wagoneer".

I saw that article as well. But it doesn't cite a damn thing as authority for its claims. I think this is a case where rumors become news without research by the so called "journalists."

This was from their meeting earlier this year: http://www.mlive.com/auto/index.ssf/...g_dodge_a.html

So far, I have not seen or heard anything regarding a change in that plan. And that plan calls for a Durango refresh in 2017. Current plan is to introduce the Grand Wagoneer in 2018

Numbers DONT lie. They are selling very well and GROWING their market share. No other 3 row SUV is doing this, only the Durango. So why on earth would they stop building it? Seems like wishful thinking from Chevy and Ford lol.

they also said a couple years ago that there wouldn't be a DD in 2014. Don't believe the hype.
