Anybody want to buy a new Chrysler?

I think the market place has already answered that one!

With due respect for faithful Fiat owners, Fiat having ownership of a significant share of Chrysler does not give me warm fuzzies.

Having owned a 60's 124 Sport Coupe, I agree. 1000 cc, and when working, ran like a bat out of hell. When not working ............

However, it seems Fiat has been working hard at improving quality and have several newer models that we will see in the US, including a small turbo diesel that gets excellent mileage. Now if only it doesn't turn out again that FIAT stands for Fix It Again Tony, they may do well here.

The fiasco for Chrysler was their being bought out by Daimler-Benz. Like may takeovers, Sprint/Nextel etc, the "synergies" never materialized. And D-B lost millions when they sold.

Oh well, time will tell. One more thing for us to talk about.
