Chrysler LLC has concluded its 7-hour-long marathon presentation of the business plan (read our Live Blog of the event here) that will see it through the next five years, and what we're left with is a little confusing. It's almost as if the automaker's new executives, amidst apologizing for the company's past and promising to do better in the future, were hoping we'd all fall asleep or get lost in the details. Well, we didn't fall asleep or get lost, and below you'll find a breakdown of what we learned while spending the day hip deep in Chrysler's future product. You can also check out the slides from Chrysler's presentation relating to product in the gallery below.

Does Chrysler have the right product plan for the next 5 years?
Yes, this plan will work.

Maybe, if it can last until Fiat models arrive in 2-3 years.

No, too little too late and Fiat models too far off.

x No, Fiat is not the answer. I hope Jeep Survives.
