Comments on: Leftlane discusses current, future lineup with Chrysler’s Jim Press http://www.leftlanenews.com/leftlane-discusses-current-future-lineup-with-chryslers-jim-press.html Car news, reviews, and specs for the auto-industry Sat, 11 Feb 2012 02:54:00 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: cblake http://www.leftlanenews.com/leftlane-discusses-current-future-lineup-with-chryslers-jim-press.html#comment-537179 cblake Sun, 28 Mar 2010 01:37:50 +0000 http://www.leftlanenews.com/?p=9299#comment-537179 Why did Jim Press leave Toyota when he did? Why did he just leave all the Toyota ENGINE OIL SLUDGE VICTIMS hanging? Why did he make them take responsibility for this very serious engine malady instead of facing the truth that something within the engine was hastening the breakdown of the engine's oil? Why did he allow Bruce C. Ertmann, former CEO in Customer Service and then newly-appointed C.G.M. (Customer Generated Media) Manager, to attempt to control the online dialogue about engine oil sludge in order to keep the lid on the problem? SHAME on him and his subordinates for manipulating the public information like this! Some 3,100+ Toyota owners would like him to publicly RETRACT the blame and formerly APOLOGIZE to them! What has been (and continues to be) done to them is UNCONSCIONABLE! If Chrysler customers can trust him, GREAT! If not, maybe they need to read the following sites: htt://www.toyotasludge.com/ http://www.uc2.blogspot.com http://www.toyotaoilgel.com http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fs7WI2s-CVw http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cNEZPKF_M_s http://www.jacksonfosterlaw.com Toyota Owners Unite for Resolution: Engine Oil Sludge Why did Jim Press leave Toyota when he did?

No use trumpeting news about great new models if potential buyers are scared that the company is going to be folded up and sold off before the warranties run out on the cars that are already on sale. It isn't "future Chryslers" that we should worry about right now, it's Chrysler's future. Cheers Gary Re: Global Ligtning’s and Johnny Canuck’s comments:

Thank you Mr. Press for mentioning absolutely nothing on the Pheonix V6 program, the Sebring/Avenger redo, your small car/large truck collaboration with Nissan, the Demon concept or anything really specific to do with upcoming models. As much as people chastise GM, and particularly Bob Lutz, for revealing too much information on new products, after this intoxicating session we know just as much about future Chryslers as we did at the start, which is diddley squat. If this guy's a gearhead then I'm the new starting quarterback for the Patriots. yarddog82: it’s going to be very hard to ‘shrink’ down to the size of Kiundai when they are currently the 5th largest vehicle manufacturer on the planet.

The Journey is a cross-over. So what was really in the parking lot? A Journey misdentified as a minivan or a Caraven misidentified as a Journey? And as tothe question of overlap between the Town and Country and the Caravan, both of which have good name recognition, why not Caravan for the lower-trim models and Town and Country for the top of the line?
