AUBURN HILLS, Mich, Feb 14 (Reuters) - Chrysler Group's DCXGn.DE Chief Executive Officer Tom LaSorda said on Wednesday he expects the company to have 100 percent production capacity utilization going in to 2008. The money-losing U.S. unit of DaimlerChrysler announced a restructuring plan earlier on Wednesday that targets a 400,000 unit reduction in production capacity and slashing of 13,000 jobs by 2009.
