Chrysler fan site Allpar.com got its paws on a list that it says depicts Chrysler&#8217;s upcoming production plans. If true, this list confirms that many of Chrysler&#8217;s refreshed products won&#8217;t be hitting the streets until 2010 is nearly over, and that the debuts will come thick and fast.

Chrysler once again topped Edmunds&#8217; True Cost Of Incentive index last month, despite failing to significantly improve its sales over February 2009&#8217;s miserable showing. The only upside is that Chrysler basically held even with reduced incentives, as the entire industry is spending about 14 percent less on incentives than it did a year ago.

When GM axed four brands in bankruptcy, it seemed for one bright, shining moment that the era of America&#8217;s auto brand bloat was drawing to a close. No such luck.

BusinessWeek reports that Nissan could be up a certain creek without a certain instrument. In Europe, Nissan competes in the low cost, city car segment (just below cars like the Toyota Yaris and Honda Jazz) by selling a rebadged Suzuki Alto which they call the &#8220;Nissan Pixo&#8221;.
