GENEVA (AP) - Fiat and Chrysler CEO Sergio Marchionne says he may shift the date of the Dodge Dart's production launch off of April 1 to "to avoid being jinxed" by an April Fool's Day launch.
The Dodge Dart is the first Chrysler model to use Fiat architecture under the nearly three-year-old alliance.
Marchionne on Tuesday called the Dodge Dart "a huge step forward in terms of moving the brand into the American heartland."
Fiat, which controls a 58.8 percent share of Chrysler, sells the city car 500 in the United States, hitting sales of 2 million last year.
It plans to bring over the 500L - a larger version of the 500 that was launched at the Geneva Motor Show on Tuesday - in 2013.
