Eh. As long as we're selling out to the Chinese, who actually could kick our asses all over the map, I don't think worrying about the Russians is of much use.

My dad bought nothing but (and I think the world of my dad and his decisions)

My dad did too, I have never understood it.

I still remember the push button transmission that he put in park and went back in the house to let the engine warm up. When he went back out the car had put itself in reverse and was now across the street and on the neighbor's lawn.

I do remember with fondness his '49 plymouth where I had my first "romantic encounter" as a teen ager.

I think you should take your complaints to the UAW. They are the ones that destroy the auto industry in the US.

In the end there will one very obese union official sitting in the union headquarters eating Dunkin Donuts by the fistfull when the lights go out.

Hey - it could have been in his neighbor's living room.

Thanks.

Another mistake by a US company.

It isn't a US company. Chrysler was bought by Daimler several years ago - it's now a German company.

[F.J. Mitchell]

Ditto.

Don't bother. Some folks are on a roll.

well actually the LX bodies(magnum,chrysler 300 and charger) are the next evolution of the LH (intrepid,concord lhs)models. they couldve called the lx's intrepids.
just like they quit making neon's replaced them with the Caliber(which I would be purchasing one if I didnt still have payments on the 2001 Ram)
I have a 1997 intrepid sport, and it is THE best car I have ever owned, had it since 2000.

I'm almost afraid to ask, how do you figure the Chinese can kick our asses?

[Mase]

how do you figure the Chinese can kick our asses?

Olympic diving?

[Citizen of the Savage Nation]

No, ping pong.

Absolutely Freakin' Love our Jeep Liberty. 75K miles in 3 years. Only gripe, the CD changer died and I was too damned stubborn to get it swapped before the Warrently was up, so technically, that was my fault.

Next car with be a Chrysler. Probably a Ram 1500, just whish they would do a 1/2 ton diesel. Car after that, will be a Chrysler.

Thanks for a innovative and solid product! Only wish they had used that IFS system with 18inch articulation. I would have ponnied up the extra $75.00.

me412 is still floating around the autoshows. saw it again this year. but really.. who'd pay an half million $ for a chrysler?

Nothing but pure greed!

[Dead Dog]

My parents had a '76 Aspen with fake wood trim. It represented everything I hate about American cars. Boring, fake, and run like crap forever without completely dieing.

[Centurion2000]

Any word on what city they plan to open it in?

[tcrlaf]

It's always the Big, Bad CEO's or Management's fault....

NO ONE ever comes out asking why we CONTINUE to OUT-FORCE jobs overseas through over-taxation, over-unionization, inane enviro laws, and unlimited civil liability.....

Chrysler is moving all their plants to flexible manufacturing. It was a case of selling the current equipment as scrap or to someone who wanted to use it as is.
