Chrysler Group once again proved the "Concept to Reality"
by unveiling the all-new Jeep Cherokee which incorporated
the design cues from the two popular Jeep concept vehicles:One
is Jeep Dakar, the four-door Jeep Wrangler designed for
the outdoor enthusiast, and the other is Jeepster, a V8-powered
that can cover the Rubicon Trail. The new Cherokee brought
the best of both concept cars to a production vehicle to
express in the compact sport-utility market.
The good example of evolution of "Reality to Concept"
is found in Chrysler PT Cruiser Convertible styling study,
derived from Chrysler PT Cruiser, that is shown as a concept
vehicle at this motor show. The originally began in 1998
Pronto Cruiser Concept vehicle, and it embodied Chrysler

and Reality to Concept", is just the theme of Chrysler
Group. This concept leads car design, development, and production,
infinite process. And this continues into the 21st century.
The future vehicles of Chrysler Group will be developed
based on our design philosophy, "Concept to Reality,
and Reality to Concept" just like Jeep Cherokee, SUV
segment boomer, Chrysler Voyager, pioneer of minivan market,
and Chrysler PT Cruiser, design of crossover America's good
old days and modernism. It is no exaggeration to say that
