Default RE: Chrysler's Nardelli vows to keep brands, maybe cut vehicles

My point exactly, RLSH700. Remember the 36-miles per gallon (highway...24mpg city, 4-speed manual transmission w/overdrive) Feather Duster in 1976? Amazing a car could get that good gas mileage back then WITHOUT onboard computers to regulate the fuel/air mixture.
What Chrysler needs to produce is an automobile like the original Duster that could either be a performance car (ie, the Duster 340, one of the baddest cars on the streets in the 1970s) or an economy car (ie, the Feather Duster) that's good looking and can be had at a reasonable price. Hopefully, they still have the Duster blueprints on file somewhere in Auburn Hills.
