I don’t see any mention of Dodge being affordable performance or the Dodge Demon.

I have a 2003 PT cruiser. My wife and I love it. We had thought about buying a new one but found the warranty was less than what the 03 has. I also felt that quality was different from the past with other chryslers I have seen.

One thing about Chrysler that I hope does not change, is the engineering of their cars. Chrysler and Dodge cars have always been a little different from the rest. And better styled and with features other cars did’nt have. I hope that innovation does not change.

The W.E. is disappointing in the Galant too. Better but not great. I agree that using their version would still be an improvement.

The Caliber SRT4 uses the brakes from the 300C and Charger R/T. Use them in all the new FWD cars (unless the parts involved are expensive German pieces). There would be an economy of scale and it would make Chrysler the stopping leader it once was.
Replace the 4 speed auto with the 6 speed ASAP, but put better spacing in the ratios of the 6 speed auto. The new minivans still have the same ratio gap where power falls off. It is really noticeable when merging onto the expressway. Make the Patriot into a serious Jeep. Land Rover has the LR2 passing for the real deal. The Patriot needs real transmissions and a good four cylinder stump puller.
