its a shame how after so many years, chrysler still sucks
i work as a valet at joey's and i have parked so many chryslers and all i have to say is that they dont feel solid. the way the doors close, cabin ambience, steering, comfort, sound system, everything just doesnt cut it. the exteriors are horrendous looking as well. i wish the executives at chrysler woke up and smartened the f up

I worked at a can rental, and we have mostly chryslers in our fleet.
Its about time they kill off the patriot and compass. Those were completely crap.
Im surprised they're keeping the PT cruiser though..ugh

by the end of 2010, Fiat will incur shit load of debt and then sell Chrysler to some East Indian company. Some indian company will design shit based on Tata Nano with Hybrid. Then Chrysler will be renamed to Currysler

I hope you are saying it in jest.
USA >>>> Korea in terms of general living, race relations, heck even gender equality. Read the article below: http://www.nytimes.com/2009/11/02/wo...q=Korea&st=cse Quote:

few things you are a bit off on:
Caliber stays to get a new face in 2013
Avenger stays and gets a brother called Chrysler 200 (same car - diff badge)
Sebring will die in 2011 or 2012
most of the cars in 2011 will be based on Fiat
the Fiat 500 will come in two variations (confirmed so far...) the turbo and the abarth

Chrysler is such a fail. The 300C hasn't even had a facelift since it came out which was back in 2004. The Challenger for the most part has been a flop. The rest of the line up sucks. The only decent car Chrysler has come out of late is the new Jeep Grand Cherokee.

The only decent car Chrysler has come out of late is the new Jeep Grand Cherokee. | The challenger is a success - SRT8s have 15k-20k above sticker and they sell like hotcakes. limited edition colours for the R/Ts are factory orders only, so far..
The Caravan is the best and the most sold minivan sold in North America, ever, and sells by the pound every day.
The Ram is the best pickup truck ever built. Received 15 awards this year. Truck of the year.
The chrysler brand itself isnt doing that great, but Dodge and Jeep (under the chrysler wing) have been doing good.

I hope they don't change too much from the 200 prototype, and dump it down to like the existing Avenger.. like.. wtf is that shit?

is alfa romeo coming with fiat as well, or is it a completely separate thing, as in there will be no alfas being sold in chrysler dealerships?
