"We may not necessarily have to go as far as the Giorgio architecture for Dodge as long as we are willing to commit to a significant upgrade to the current architecture to make it competitive.

Now, it's important to note that current platform dates back to the 1990s when it was originally used to underpin the Mercedes-Benz E-Class of that era. Remember Daimler-Chrysler? Over the years, that large RWD platform has been updated, most recently in 2011. So why does Marchionne and team believe this years old platform should stick around for even longer?
