But if Chrysler develops products with a longer view, as in spend money now to make money few years down the line (Read as start and maintain solid programs that will lead to better more desirable vehicles), listen to customers when we say, "build that". Two or more million potential buyers can't be all wrong, and actually improve everything over time. I'm not to hip on CHRYSLER, but if they can hit a homer or two, I'll cheer for them again.

Oh wait, they don't even offer a high-performance mid-size BOF SUV. This ought to irritate you further. I drive a Chevy Suburban 40 miles one way to work, and there's only one person in it me. That's right, I use the biggest SUV on sale for a personal commuter vehicle. I average ~21mpg with it. Also the interior in my Suburban is miles ahead of any Japanese SUV interiors, and at the Chicago Auto Show I was able to sit in an A8 (which has the nicest interior period IMO) and it was very similar to my truck. Side note: How can AWD possibly make the Hemi 300 more efficient? AWD is heavier, more parasitic, etc. I'm actually curious to the engineering they're using to get better efficiency. Is the efficiency just a new more efficient HEMI or perhaps a better tranny? @1115,

They have 8 billion dollars in cash, so they are not closing the doors anytime soon, and have been operating off of a manufacturing profit the last few months. They had 15 Billion in Cash when Mercedes bought them in '98, and were the most profitable company at the time. Mercedes raped and pileged the company and now they are on their way to a comeback. I would say that we are looking at the complete opposite of closing the doors, we are looking at a company that could potentially blow the doors off the competition.

I think GM and Ford while they make hideous cars have started making better cars. They also sell good cars but ironically not for the Unites States market. Chrysler's only two good cars are the Challenger and Viper and the Viper isn't that great nor is the interior on the Challenger. The new Chrysler minivans are a disgrace. Chrysler needs to reinvent itself by scrapping all their models for brand new models and in time bring back old nameplates.
