Comments on: Chrysler to reopen idled plants by end of month http://www.leftlanenews.com/chrysler-to-reopen-idled-plants-by-end-of-month.html Car news, reviews, and specs for the auto-industry Sat, 11 Feb 2012 00:20:00 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: olds307 http://www.leftlanenews.com/chrysler-to-reopen-idled-plants-by-end-of-month.html#comment-461282 olds307 Wed, 03 Jun 2009 22:47:03 +0000 http://www.leftlanenews.com/?p=18533#comment-461282 Borat: the old Wrangler was a completely unilitarian vehicle, completely different than Civics and Accords, which are luxury cars in comparison. Also, you can't go by CR and JD, seriously, they are lieing right from the start when they claim not to be biased. The true barometer? Look at what's still on the road that's over 15 years old, and the YJ Wrangler is one of the most common "old" cars on the road, along with 70s and 80s GM RWD cars and trucks. Very few FWD GMs and Chryslers, and about the same number of Hondas and Toyotas from the 80s (their numbers are dwindling daily.... NOBODY wants to work on a carbureted Honda!), NO Nissans, NO FWD Fords.

I don't understand the appeal of a jeep, especially Wrangler, but it's me. Wrangler is lowest quality vehicle in US (both CR and JD Power), yet it has the best resale; made in the same state as Honda Civic and Accord, and those are the most reliable. You can't blame it on water and air: workers at both plantsl consume the same. And we finding out that parts suppliers for most parts are the same. Can some one explain to me this phenomenon?

Maybe that has something to do with a better than completely dismal result in # vehicles sold. What they need to do is post average margin. That's the real dismal stat. Good to see some people getting back to work though. I saw “up to 50% off” signs outside presumably one of the doomed dealer’s lots.
