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)

Car threads aren't just for men, anymore.

I'm the proud former owner of a '68 GTO, one of the finest automobiles ever made.

Check my home page to see what I like to do with cars.

Yeah, this one is ugly. But have you seen an Aztec?

Not only ugly but very hard to see out the rear window when driving. I was forced to rent one recently. Bleech.

The Nissan Fuga looks like a cross between an Infiniti G35 and a Nissan Maxima. I'm really wanting a G35 bad. 260HP, luxury, rwd, sweet! Okay, so us freeper females like cars too.

I had to research it. The Nissan Fuga will be the restyled Infiniti M45.

Mom had a '69. She wanted hideaway headlamps and she couldn't get those on a LeMans/Tempest. Ordered the car with the Endura Bumper delete option and the dealer replaced the vented hood with one from a standard Le Mans. She probably had the ONLY '69 with a shiny nose and no hood vents. She traded it in before I reached driving age (I PLEADED and PLEADED) and you may imagine that there has been HEATED holiday table talk over THAT for years and I won't let her forget it. It only had 25k miles on it at the time. The dealer's son who was given the car wrapped it around a tree a week later in the rain. In her defense, her side of the family has a history of "eccentricity", she must not have known what she was doing.

One day....One day....in my garage

Don't tease me. It's not fair. The G35 is gorgeous. But if I do get one, I'll have to get the sedan. The kids must have their own doors. I'll just have to give up the extra 20HP.
