RE: Models that must abandon ship
Well Plymouth coming back ain't gonna happen, even though I agree it would make logical sense. I actually think Chrysler HAD a good idea going with the Eagle brand until they mucked it all up and went by way of the Geo brand.
If I had to choose between a Nitro and a Liberty I'd definitely take the Nitro, largely because it's available with the 4.0 V6, the Liberty is still saddled with that stuck-in-the-90s 3.7 V6. [:'(]
