Last i heard you bought a challenger....i have worked with chrysler for just about 30 years and they have not ever put out such good product...as far as looks, i think you crazy.....i can afford any car that i want and what am driving-oooh a challenger...
yes i got rid of a mercedes convertable...yes it was nice but not as fun as the challenger...
yes i am a woman and you probably think i dont know what the heck i am talking about ....
i think you are out of your mind.... enough said and i mean no harm have a great day...
good luck to Chrysler with what ever decision they are going to make....

 

Challygirl - Thank you and Chrysler for making this old Soldiers dream come true. I've waited for this car since 1974 when I was the tender age of 18 years old. I wish only the best for you and all your Chrysler teammates.

 

I guess my big concern as someone who now owns a challanger and the rest of my family that owns chrysler products, which is almost all of them, what happens to us and our warranties and that jazz. I'm guessing if they get bought out the new company wouldnt have to honor any of chryslers commitments? I'm not business savy so I dont know how that stuff works. Its going to suck trying to get work done and parts for a car if there is no one to honor the warranties and make the parts. I hope i didnt just buy a 30k dollar lawn ornament.

 

If I were a 30-year employee, Joani, I'd be mad as hell about what's being done to Chrysler. Cerberus NEVER should have gotten control of that company. You can thank Dr. Z and his ilk for screwing an American icon.

 

I am not sure either but since they would be buying chrysler and not because of reorganization (bankruptcy), believe they have to honor commitments made to chrysler customers e.g. warranties, 2.99 gallon gas for three years, etc.

 

As I read it, the big hang up for the Gov't was the need for financing as well as the job losses. A non-financial services bailout on top of the recent Banking one would not go over well I suspect and would open the door to others in dire straits.

I'm hoping Chrysler hangs in there but have little faith in Cerberus(sp?) to hang onto them. They've been shopping Chrysler as a full entity as well as broken up...not a good sign for a private equity firm that is used to buying companies and spitting them out in pieces for greater profit...

 

Problem with chopping them up and selling pieces though is that the market overall is in a pretty poor position for any manufacturer to probably be up to buying other than foriegn entities. Forgien manufacturers might want a piece of Chrysler to get a foothold in the US through manufacturing facilities and Chryslers well established dealership network. I am not sure the long term effects would be any better than bankruptcy or a GM buyout...

 

Dr. Z wasn't really the problem. We can thank Eaton for selling us out to the Germans. If Eaton hadn't been so concerned about his wallet size we wouldn’t be in this mess.

 

Did you make your billion with that brilliant fiscal analysis? GM and Chrysler’s problems are not that they build bland cars in your opinion. Toyota is known for building “appliances”. Our federal government has put The Big Three at a disadvantage for years. Detroit did show their own ineptitude during the late sixties and seventies. Hope someone else will make the Challenger??? Why don’t I hope to sleep with Kristen Bell while I’m at it?

 

I wish GM no ill will but I'm glad they won't have the chance to dismantle Chrysler any time soon. Seems Pelosi and crew understand what is at stake and Chrysler is safe for right now.
