The LX was developed in North America to supersede the previous Chrysler LH platform, which had been designed to allow it to be easily upgraded to rear and all-wheel drive.
The European variant and all RHD models were built in Graz, Austria, by Magna Steyr from June 2005 until 2010, where they carried the platform designation of LE.
Many thoughts suggesting the current LD Platform cars would hit the Giorgio platform, however this was later debunked by Marchionne stating that the Giorgio is more suited towards sports oriented European vehicles instead of American muscle cars.
[9] Upon the Merger with PSA with FCA, an evolution of Giorgio Architecture was developed while executing platform consolidation now named the STLA large.
This Architecture already under the WLs and will eventually support KM, EJ, C6X, RU and RV along with all large segment cars for Europe, Maserati and Alfa.
