This article is disappointing. Some guy with some company told someone at the Detroit Free Press that Armageddon is coming. Slow news day, LLN? Hey, I’ve been having an affair with Angelina Jolie…! Bet that’ll get some hits.

If someone other then Bob Nardelli said this, I might believe it.

She looked better before she started popping out pups, still good though.

Lucky kids. Imagine being at the end of one of those for breakfast every morning.

Watch Nardelli pop is golden parachute when Armageddon hits same as he did at Home Depot.

We need fewer cars, more dope.

Armageddon for Chrysler, hopefully. Time to put them out of their misery. They are like a friggin cancer patient who’s trying way too many experimental treatments which give them hope one day, then a few bad days, then some more hope, but you know the end is inevitable…

Cerberus…just sell the damn company already while you can still get a few cents on your dollar. I’d bet there are some Chinese and Indian companies that would love the dealer network…

golf4me, I am sure all the workers who would probably lose their jobs appreciate the thought.

“i don’t want to fall asleep, i don’t want to close my eyes cause i miss you babe and i don’t want to miss a thing”,…. oh wait thats a different Armageddon- damn you Michael Bay

Thanks jumpoffit. I often have an Aerosmith tune in my head, now I’m gonna be stuck with that one for the rest of the day!

golf4me – you are exactly right. although i always imagined chrysler to be a spider in a toilet bowl that is about to be flushed. it is doing its best to climb up the sides but nothing can change its fate. i read in businessweek that they have 9 billion dollars in reserve. i wonder how much time that will buy the spider before someone pulls the lever.

God I hate Aerosmith. Except for the song sweet emotion they suck. Now I have to get a Black Sabbath song stuck in my head to get that sucky aerosmith song out. Chrysler is a great company, there’s just too many retards that are hung up on the stereotype that fords and chevy’s are better and nowaday’s it’s nissan and toyota. Go ahead and splooge all over your camry or accord, I’m ordering my Challenger R/T this fall regardless because, unlike toyota and honda buyers, I don’t need it, I want it.

This only the beginning … I’ll keep reminding you all that things get uglier as time progresses. You ain’t seen nuthin’ yet.

‘NoNameDufus’, tell me again how the U.S. economy is doing just fine? ****ing fool. I hope nobody in this world relies on you in any way … you’d destroy their future.

Buy gold.

Chysler’s sales are off because they need better products. GM and Ford are cutting back on their trucks, but the story does not talk about the increase in production of the fuel efficient models. The scare mongering like this will cause people to lose faith in the economy and then the economy really will be in trouble.

I believe the break up of Chrysler is looming, Dodge truck to Nissan & Jeep to Mahindra round file the rest.

Noname, you have no idea about the topic of which you speak. You have no authority to your own opinion of the economy and how it works. Go back to your PS2 and finish level 3 on Lego Star Wars. Scare mongering? Where did you find that mainstream media buzzword? Did you accidentally click on a New York Times or Washington Post link? Impulsive is 101% right; you are nothing more than an uneducated fool. And quit searching other blogs and wikipedia to copy and paste other opinions and call them your own. Your inappropriate and childish behavior are known by all here. In the immortal words of Jim Rome, “Have a take. Don’t suck.” OUT!

Amen on the Jim Rome, brassmonkey.

wbent, you don’t think Renault-Nissan will try and take more of Chrsyler?

Wow brassmonkey. You make some good points. All you insults really show conviction but no substance.

Armageddon have happened at Chrysler roughly 10 years ago when Iaccoca left the ship in care whathisname ass hole from GM and he capitulated company to Nazis. Now is the time of reckoning and for sake of the people who still depend on this company we should all hope they will pull through.

An armageddon to the auto industry would be a bankrupted GM, Ford and Chrysler. But if thoes companies are to go under, the government needs to pass a terriff or not allow foreign cars into the market before hand so that we are not paying so that other countries can take our money.

‘brassmonkey’ has posted FACT … you monkeys are too stupid to see it. Yes, ‘NoNameDufus’ is worthless.

It’s not just Chrysler that’s in trouble. The problem, the big picture, is that all of you are so deep into your pitiful PEON lives that you don’t see the clouds rolling in BIG TIME. I could sit here and post dozens of signs of seriously bad economic times coming SOON, let alone the next few years.

You think gas prices will fall significantly for any extended period of time … NOPE. You think interest rates can stay at record lows? NOPE. You think 80% of all new jobs since 2001 weren’t in the housing sector? NOPE. You think the housing plunge is near done? NOPE. You think the banking debacle (BearStearns going under, one of the biggest six investment banks in the world) is over? NOPE. You think rising unemployment is over? NOPE.

These are FACTS, chimps. This economy is going negative at an accelerating rate. What kind of situation will exist when the layman DOES acknowledge they’re in hell … how many vehicles of any kind will be sold compared to the last two years?

I have nothing to hide … do a search on my handle and LLN and look back to last year when I posted similar foresight … I was right then and I’ll be right now. Don’t say you weren’t warned … you can thank me soon.

Buy gold.

Oil prices are at a bubble and I believe will start to collapse in the near future. However, Chrysler is screwed either way. While I believe the entire industry is set for a large decline, Chrysler is least likely to weather the storm. They are still caught in their short-sighted 70s mindset that nearly bankrupted them. Three-quarters of their vehicle sales are light trucks. This fall, they’ll roll out the newly designed Ram. Nice timing. I understand vehicles are planned several years in advance, but they could have at least diversified like Toyota. They acted as if they economy was going to boom forever and people would continue their wasteful spending habits. Should have spent more effort on designing cheaper small cars and hybrids as well as their big trucks. I also heard that their hyped-up Challenger is about to be released, a low volume niche vehicle.

Koosh12684, most “foreign” cars are already manufactured in the US. No way will we cost our own jobs. In fact that’s one of the reasons foreigners have been building more plants here. I remembered Clinton a dozen years ago threatened to impose a 100% tariff on Japanese luxury cars, if they didn’t buy more American vehicles. Of course luxury brands like Lexus and Infiniti are actually made in Japan. So at the worst, it may come to that.

Bob will say anything to shift focus away from Chrysler’s inability to deliver a relevant and quality product. As NoNameDenton1 said, he’s probably already test fitting his strap-on golden parachute.

I do believe the Chrysler rear wheel drive platform is of value and the products built on it are good competitors but I do not see Goshen having any use for them given the economy. However the Dodge truck line will provide a way in for Renault and will support the Titan agreement. Jeep will provide more market penetration for Mahindra into the US. asusenior is right either way the economy goes Chrysler will be broke up, that is what private equity does.

debtno, don’t mind brassmonkey, he is a lapdog to his husband Impulsive.

For one thing he thought the 9-4x was based on the Lambda platform when the article he posted on clearly said it was on Theta.

Yup, he’s my husband and you’re my bitch, ‘Dufus’.
