Default RE: Dec. 22 letter from Bob Nardelli to Chrysler employees

Why exactly did he mention the Liberty? The Liberty was released before any of these other models and despite what he has said did NOT get positive praise from the press. Frankly, models like the Liberty need a more "organic" styling than the box on wheels design. The Cherokee was more round than this thing is.

The boxy styling needs to be moved away from as it is growing moldy. The Avenger & Sebring are evidence of it. It wouldn't hurt the Charger to go back towards the styling cues of the 1999 Charger concept. That was aggressive yet smooth and closer to the heritage. It also won't hurt the 300 to perhaps look more like a Chrysler and less like a Plymouth. They need to dress the next one up inside and out. Hopefully they'll try to see that it compares more towards the STS and CTS and less to the Lucerne and Grand Marquis.

Brentmannrt09, thanks for sharing the video; however, to me there are a few things that are just wrong. The crosshair grille located there just isn't right. The Charger R/T badge seems out of place where they placed it on the rear no matter if that is where it was originally located. A coupe model Charger that looks that similar to the Challenger is unlikely when the Challenger is being produced.
