In yesterday’s earnings call, FCA confirmed that the Toluca, Mexico plant will be shut down for retooling so it can produce the Jeep Compass replacement (which we believe will also be called Compass).

Allpar sources wrote about the closure and Compass’ build location earlier this year.

The Compass is believed to be closely related to the Jeep Renegade and the planned, announced Chrysler 100 small car — a car whose future may be in some doubt.

The Toluca plant has, in recent years, made Neon coupes, PT Cruisers, Dodge Journeys, and Fiat 500s.
