DaimlerChrysler reported a sharper-than-expected drop in profits on October 21, 2003, with problems at its ailing U.S. unit threatening its earnings outlook and leading to a downgrade of the German automaker's credit rating. The world's fifth-biggest carmaker, battling to return its Chrysler unit to long-term profits, posted a third quarter operating profit of $1.46 billion, a 19 percent drop from a year ago and below analysts' expectations. Chrysler is banking on new products, including its new Dodge Durango sports utility vehicle(SUV) and the Pacifica, a minivan-SUV crossover which got off to a slow start earlier this year. It is launching 25 new vehicles in the next 36 months. The Dodge Durango Hemi RT concept SUV is seen January 5 at the Detroit Auto Show. The Durango sport-utility concept 'provides a strong hint of the next generation Durango that will appear in late 2003 as a 2004 model, ' according to Dodge. (Rebecca Cook/Reuters)

I admit that I am a complete idiot but what in the world is by-wire technology?

in an airplane it means the control stick is not connected to the control surfaces. I assume it means the steering wheel column is not actually in contact with the wheels, but that it tells the wheels to turn 'by wire' and little motors make them turn.

or nah, maybe the hydrogen produces electricity and sends it by wire to the motors that make the vehicle go, hydrogen not touching the actual motors.... but that would be an electric car...

You were in Heminet and posted photos of a Chevy??? WTF? MOPAR, or no car.

But for off road, nothing beats a dozer. Here's the world's largest - twice the size of a D-11.

And yes, the one in front is about the size of a D-3, just for comparison. The big one moves 90 cubic yards of dirt with the blade, and has an operating weight of over 300,000 pounds.
