RE: A chat with Jim Press, vice chairman and president of Chrysler
It is far more than I have seen in a while, and encouraging if I must say. While the US Manaufacturers of Chrsler, GM, and Ford have their work cut out for them, they aren't going down without a fight. Detroit is genuinely putting out some decent vehicles, but right now unfortunately most of the volume sellers, inclusive of Toyota and Honda, have even seen the down side of things. Yet, it is the fuel effecient vehicles that Chrysler lacks with far too much dependency on trucks. Dodge is betting a great deal on the new Ram, but it won't be the K car to rescue them even if they need it and it's a quality rig. I'd surely like to see Jim Press and his cohorts rescue this once prized company, with many a great vehicle in their past and recent time, and hopefully, long into the future.
