Chrysler pulls plug on Imperial

Chrysler, expecting tighter fuel-efficiency standards in the United States, has scrapped production plans for a large luxury vehicle to be built near Toronto, according to the Detroit Free Press.

In March, the local union at the Brampton, Ontario, assembly plant agreed to contract concessions in exchange for the promise of a $700-million Canadian investment at the facility to prepare for the luxury Imperial. The vehicle would have been larger and heavier than any car currently in Chrysler's lineup.
