Dodge brand is on life support
As unthinkable as it might be, our beloved Dodge that has been producing cars since 1914 is on life support.
IF (big if) Chrysler survives this economic mess, it is clear that part of the restructuring of Chrysler will be to eliminate brands & duplicate products.
As an example, there is really no need for a Durango and an Aspen - when you've got Jeep.
There is no need for most of Dodge products - when they are re-badged Chrsylers anyway (or visa versa).
Just as the Prowler went being a Plymouth Prowler to a Chrysler Prowler, so too our Challenger might become the Chrysler Challenger.
I pray that Chrysler survives. It sucks to own a car with no dealer network with no warranty to stand behind our cars.
Our "lifetime" warranty is only as good as Chrysler's alive. Pretty unthinkable a few months ago - but now a possibility.
The good news, is that after three months of ownership of my '09 R/T - it still is an amazing car that draws huge attention everywhere I go.
No issues with my car, no rattles, great mileage for a HEMI engine, and outstanding comfort.
Can you spell B A I L O U T ? Boy does Chrysler need it bad.
