With all the attention Ram has been getting lately due to its impressive U.S. sales, the success of its light-duty half-ton turbo-diesel and its best-in-class torque numbers from the Ram heavy-duty Cummins, it's easy to see how Ram might get the lion's share of attention from Sergio Marchionne, CEO of Fiat Chrysler Automobiles. But Jeep, another FCA brand that also has been growing at impressive rates in the U.S. and around the world, has been keeping Marchionne busy. That's certainly been the case at this year's Paris Motor Show.

According to Automotive News, Marchionne recently announced in Paris that the next-generation Wrangler could be made from aluminum, use a turbocharged engine and might shed its rugged ladder frame construction in favor of a unibody chassis. Marchionne said doing so means shifting production from Toledo, Ohio, where the Wrangler is currently built. That announcement was a bit of a shock to folks in Toledo because in January, during the North American International Auto Show in Detroit, Marchionne said the Wrangler would always be built in Toledo.
