Put the money into the American educational system. The US taxpayer will receive exponentially far more return than they ever will throwing it down the Chrysler/Cerberus hole.

There was no usual crazy concept from Chrysler this year, kind of sad in a way. They have always had some of the more interesting concepts at the show, anything from Plymoth Pronto to the Dodge Hornet to way back with the turbine powered car, but this year, nothing. It is a sad end to an era.

I’ll quote George W. by saying “I’m disapointed”

If I thought they had products worth keeping, maybe I could sympathize. Unfortuneately, Chrysler hasn’t had appealing product in so long, I don’t think they can recover. Certainly haven’t seen any promising new car announcements or concepts at the Detroit Show. Cut them loose.

The 200C EV has restored my faith in Chrysler as a design house. I now have no reason to doubt that the next 300/Charger will be any less stunning. If that is their direction they are indeed worth saving. The only question that remains is can they get these to the market fast enough.

Give them the 3 billion. I would rather have my tax dollars going to an American corporation than wasted away in Iraq. 10 billion dollars a month gets thrown away every month there.

Chrysler will take that money and design some vehicles that people might actually will want to buy.

So the day that Nissan buy’s Chrysler, will that mean Nissan will have access to the rest of the loan?
And why has Nissan not jump on this opportunity?

No, no, no, no, and no. If you’re a worker in a Chrysler and you hadn’t started looking for a job by now, shame on you.

Is the three-headed dog asleep? Perhaps Chrysler is scared it’ll (they’ll?) bite if they try to wake up the dog(s) for some money.

In my opinion…Ford and GM are worth saving, Chrysler is not. Of course the whole threat that if one automaker goes down, they all go down will probably keep us bailing them out again and again.
