I think they're going to have a real tough time selling this as a stand-alone brand. The Viper was never designed to be a profitable venture - merely a halo car for marketing. A buyer would only be interested in it if it was a profitable operation. I'm sure the MBA's at Cerberus put together some nice looking pitch books with made up projections showing the Viper makes tons of money to prospective investors. They just need a sucker to buy into the B.S. I still say Viper is a car, not a brand. I think they’re going to have a real tough time selling this as a stand-alone brand.

Get Viper off the sinking ship before it goes under. I'd hate to have to see Viper go under with Chrysler. This actually sounds like good news to me.

The Viper is one of the best supercars along with the Corvette, especially considering their price. I hope the Viper stays in North American hands where it belongs, and not in some shed in the East.

And not in some third world, telemarkteers call-center country. I am to be getting a bad feeling about this whole situation. Chrysler is to be screwing up a good thing here. Next they'll try to be selling the Dodge Trucks division to Russia, Nyet................... I am not to be liking this crap, the Snake (Viper) is to be in Detroit.

But if Chrysler needs the money to..well waist it.. on developing electric cars..well Chrysler, theres no point..really I say Chrysler, sell the damn "brand" and save the money.
