Chrysler races to upgrade its lineup

In a bid to improve its lineup before a fleet of new Fiat-based vehicles arrives in 2012, Chrysler Group is rushing new features and equipment into 15 reworked vehicles.

The ATS Coupe will be the first production Caddy to wear the division's new crest when it goes on sales this summer.
