Fiat and Chrysler Group are scheduled to spend an almost unblievable six hours Wednesday briefing analysts and journalists about the U.S. automaker's five-year business plan, or survival plan, if you prefer, according to USA Today.

Word already has spread about a number of Chrysler, Dodge and Jeep models that are supposed to be discontinued by 2012. Less has been said about what Fiat Group models might replace them.

The accuracy of those reports, which have kept Chrysler scurrying to stamp out rumors without giving away too much in advance, will be verified or refuted today.
