I thought Jim Press was at least considering bringing back Plymouth as a Brand or Model, where did that go?

Well Curtis, I couldn’t agree more. The hundred’s (thousands?) of us who have begged Chrysler to revive Plymouth have been met with a stoney wall of silence. That should tell us Cerberus’ true attitude towards its customers and Chrysler. A sad day imho.

Certainly, let us not forget the disappearance of Plymouth, although that is not quite yet completely forgotten. It was that move that set Chrysler into the slide to where it is now. Accept it or not, there was a panache and a verve at the engineering/design end of Plymouth that could achieve some of the best vehicles around. By strangling that group with benign neglect, Chrysler at the Board Level kicked their own behinds, and were looking at the bottom instead of looking where production was. Re-introduction of the name with some very carefully chosen platforms already developed, along with reliable engineering into production would get Chrysler back into a plan for the future. As it is, continuous news of chopping, cutting, ending doesn’t belie the spirit of a once mighty giant in the world.

Trust me Mrecedes is doing Chrysler a favor restricting supplies of their diesels to Chrysler. Look at the EPA numbers for the Grand Cherokee diesel and compare that to a Town and Country minivan. The Avenger is attractive to many people including me. It just needs some attention to details.
