    Chrysler Ontario plant in overdrive By GREG KEENAN, The Globe and Mail
    It has been a few years since the Chrysler group had a hot car - let alone a hot sedan - but its 300C model is roaring out of dealers' lots and has turned the Brampton, Ont., assembly plant into a seven-day-a-week operation.

    Sales are surging so much that the auto maker - part of DaimlerChrysler AG - has asked members of the Canadian Auto Workers union to cut the standard two-week summer shutdown next month to a one-week holiday.

    "It's all about having a hot product," said CAW president Buzz Hargrove, who added that the union is canvassing its members to determine whether enough will agree to take their holidays at some other time so the plant can operate for the extra week.
