I believe the answer is the financial instability and mass internal restructuring of Chrysler in its death spiral that prevents them from competing directly with other car manufacturers. I think this should serve as a warning to potential consumers about the longterm viability of the company.
2011's can be introduced anytime between January and December 2010 iicr. Usually they get brought out in the late summer/early fall. This is also why every automaker has some great big sales event at this time of year, often called a clearance event and most commonly involves employee pricing. They get rid of the old stock and bring in the new model year. Ironically, since most manufacturers have moved to introducing new models and updates somewhat early in the year, bringing something new out around now could give them more media attention than they otherwise would have gotten.

On a side note, please stop with the self-fulfilling prophecy. Using your logic, people shouldn't buy Chrysler products because the company won't last. But, if people don't buy the cars and trucks ... the company won't last. So the reason becomes the cause for the reason, making it a false argument.
