How about the Neon?

How about all the people who are driving beater Neons right now? The people who fight for on street parking and live in row homes or in apartment complexes... or God forbid trailer parks. How does the electric car work for them? Where do they charge up before their shifts preparing the fast food all the swells of the world so desire? Working in the factories to manufacture the things that keep the cou try going? Sorting and delivering the Amazon packages the wine moms get mainline to their homes? There are secondary and tertiary effects to society that the central planners are deliberately ignoring.

IF people are still driving NEONS right now they must be the best mechanics around. Neons were probably the worst new car produced by any major car manufacturer in the last 20 years.

Chysler’s quality has been on average the worst of all the major manufacturers for 30+ years. They should have been allowed to go bankrupt back in the 1980s.

Mercedes dumped them because of this. They were a lost cause .
