I like what Chrysler has been doing the last few years. And I love my Jeep even though it's a few years old now. There's nothing GM has been doing that really interests me, and I'm always kind of wondering why it is that they are consistently unable to come out with any vehicles I would buy.

As soon as I can afford it, I'm buying a Jeep Liberty CRD.

I wonder how they can come out with products like the Pontiac Aztec. You can analogize the production of a car with the production of a film - each have long gestation periods and require a lot of money. And with all the money that is committed to either - you wonder what the analysis process is to produce such expensive losers. Look at Honda - the one product they introduced that was arguably a mistake (and I say arguably, because many would say it wasn't) was the Del Sol. They stayed out of the mini-van business for years but pitched a perfect game when they finally introduced one. Now one would think that even if GM only watched Honda for 10 years and then emulated them - they couldn't be in the spot they are in now.

I bought my first Chrysler 2 years ago (a Sebring V-6). So far its been an outstanding car. I was a little leary of Chrysler products (I drove the old K-cars that the military purchased in bulk back in the 80s--boy, did those blow). What changed my mind is that they were the only (semi) domestic car company coming out with designs that I actually liked & the price was right ($5K less than a Pontiac Grand Prix). The Crossfire is an especially hot car. If the Sebring ages well, I will likely be a repeat buyer.

I love my Dodge Ram Van conversion. Got it after my last one got too old to take round the country. Wish they weren't going to stop making conversion vans.
