Chryslers current cars are great but just like Ford and GM they arent anyhting amazing, nothing that makes the majority of people out there say "damn i need to get me one" nothing truly exciting just some more decent crap. :o

Heard on the news the other night that here in Canada, Chrysler just became #2 surpassing FoMoCo.

edit: sad thing is, we just bought a Jeep Liberty for the wife :o

Great get it at Wall Mart.





I agree Chrysler does have an agressive looking line of cars. Good advertising. To bad about their SRT 10 truck.

You've gotta admit, those 300C Hemis are pretty sweet.... and the SRT-8. 425 HP. Stock. I can't wait for the Magnum SRT-8. Now I've gotta convince my mom to get one. She actually wants a Hemi Magnum in black. I've taught her well. But that shiny paint will only last for about a day til one of my little brothers opens the doors and whacks something with it...

Ford is paying the price for virtually ignoring the car market for almost 20 years.

All trends (SUV's included) come and go, and you'd best be prepared for the next change in public demand or you will be in trouble.

In all honesty, outside of the new Mustang, has there been any high-volume Ford car released in the last 20 years that you would REALLY want to own?

CRX...old honda civic RE. started ricer performance, Ford had the Tempo, Topaz, good cars, but no youthful image, the Focus is late and failing to catch the new civic.

( Datsun B 210, old Toyota Celica's )

Accord/Camary, average family car with sporty handeling, Tarus was ok, but not a sports performnace car, the SHO vanished and the Ford 500 look's like 499 boaring models before it, Ford used the name 500 in the 70's.

Thunderbird/cougaur...mid 90's 4.6 Rwd..great handling cars...Ford scrapped them, and now Chrysler with the 300C RWD platform is the only rwd sports sedan built in north america.

The Mustang is a nice car, but it's a one trick pony for two adults, Big V/8 in four door family cars is were chrysler dominated in the 60's, thier simply going back to thier the basics.

Ford needs a sporty 4door Rwd car with a v/8, in the 20,000 range or chrysler will dominate...cost cutting will not work for Ford on thier current models unless Ford can roll them out 95% perfect.

Ford Builds to manny trucks and SUV's.
