Chrysler will continue to lose sales to Toyota and Honda because they cannot offer a small, sporty, reliable car. The Caliber ain’t it, and everything else is a bloatmobile, a fugly gangsta car. Most of these cars also come only with automatics. So they’ve lost more people than they realize there. And the gas mileage is abysmal. It’s actually worse overall than it was 15 years ago. That’s why I am putting $3K into my car’s driveline to ensure that I can continue to motor on with MoPar until something good comes.

Sebring and Avenger are both getting raked over the coals for their styling. Don’t know about the quality.

DCX certainly has not done itself any favors by their treatment of Chrysler. Talk about biting the hand that feeds you. Sadly, everyone just keeps bashing our beleagured friend. Although I think it would have been better for both to work things out, I don’t see that happening now, Daimler has gone too far down the road to stop this process now. Best Scenario is for someone like Magna to take control and try to save what’s left. I’m really tired of hearing Chrysler get trashed for it’s (perceived) poor quality and reputation. If you came here to s… on Chrysler, save it for some other website, no one here is interested in uninformed, uneducated opinions. Although I think DCX made some bad decisions re; new product, most of Chryslers stuff is pretty good these days, nothing a diet and some exercise wouldn’t fix. I get the feeling that all you naysayers may be from the daimler (mercedes) side of the fence. Don’t let the door hit your a.. on the way out.

Dave:

isn´t chrysler`s unfortunate timing afecting Daimler too? The Dodge Challenger in the 70’s was released too late at the end of the muscle car era (just as an old example) the NEON was killed in the times when Americans are Downsizeing becouse of Gas Prices, Plymounth was doomed when their lineup had Good valuable product´s, yes they were rebagadge dodge´s but in the costumers mind´s they were PLYMOUNTHS, then The 300 with Big V8’s worked fine, but again a bit late and now their sales are dropping and the Charger´s is next, The Challenger its gonna be at Dealerships at the same time the GAS is gonna be quite close to $4.00 for a gallon, and at last, Daimler said it was tired about Chrysler in february, and right now, the sales are growing world wide?, that reads bad timing in my book and it looks like Daimpler chose to sell Chrysler Too Soon, better for Us any way´s.
