It was kind of fun while it lasted, but Fiat Chrysler Automobiles (FCA) has made the decision to axe SRT as a standalone brand and consolidated all models “under the Dodge brand”, which makes sense for the Viper, Charger and Challenger SRT, but what about the Chrysler 300 SRT and the Jeep Cherokee SRT?

Well, nothing was mentioned about these two models in Chrysler’s short press release that we’ve added below, so we’ll have to wait for more information to come out of the brand’s headquarters where FCA is holding its investor presentation today.
