Video: Dodge Crew Crossover (JC49) Scooped

A Youtube user managed to capture a Dodge Crew prototype (commonly known with its code name “JC49”) parked at the Grossglockner High Alpine Road in Austria. From what our Chrysler Group source told as a couple of weeks ago (see here), the American automaker is planning to present a concept version of the Dodge crossover at the forthcoming Frankfurt International Motor Show in September.

Irrelevant but could someone tell us why the hell is the Dodge Crew prototype shown in the video hooked onto the Volkswagen Touran MPV that's right behind it?

Scooped: 2009 Dodge “JC49” mid-sized crossover

Swedish Automotorsport has published a couple of pics featuring ChryslerGroups’s answer to the new Ford Edge that goes by the codename “JC49”. From what we learned, the “JC49” will most probably be presented in September with sales starting in the US towards the end of the year (as a 2009 model). While it’s still unclear whether the mid-size crossover or CUV if you prefer, will get a third row seat, we do know for certain that it’s based on the Chrysler Sebring / Dodge Avenger platform and that it'll be built at Chrysler's Toluca, Mexico, factory starting in December 2007.

So I guess the next question you’ll make is whether we’ll see a Chrysler version of the CUV. Although unconfirmed, rumors have it that Chrysler’s version codenamed “JZ49” is expected sometime in 2009 as a 2010 model. Via: Automotorsport
