Yes, the next gen Neon will be based on the next Lancer platform. Its name will change, and there will be a hatchback.
The success of the SRT4 seems to have spawned a Evo-like Neon.

There will be a new 2dr coupe built off teh Eclipse/Galant chassis, and will show its face at SEMA. It will have a "six pack" engine. Some say it will have a turbo 6cyl engine.

I dont know about the Crossfire leaving soon, but it does ride on the old SLK chassis, and I belive sales have sucked for the Crossfire.

And the news about the hemi-v10 is that it will make a lot of power, and be much smaller, displacment wise, then the Vipers giant 8.3 it has now.
It will also power a larger LX based luxury car from Chrysler.
