Chrysler is like those pregnant mothers that get their doctors to defer the birth in order to get the baby bonus

I agree Andrew M Chrysler will fold whilst Ford and GM will continue even if its on a smaller scale or in a new form

Chrysler has been on life support for the last 10 years… I mean if Mercedes Benz couldn’t help them I don’t think anyone could

I have also read that the company which took over Saleen is looking at buying the Viper and SRT brand from Chrysler

Chrysler will go for sure.
Im pretty solid on that now.

this only backs up their short sighted, live for today, not tommorrow attitude they have taken to deal with this “credit crisis”.

First they announced they would use up the grant money to fund Zero percent consumer loans rather than fixing the company, and now they want to save themselves by shafting the dealers to try and show deserve to keep the government loan.

next step is on april 1 where they skip the country after government approval of $$$

“Let’s face it – if Holden were to disappear, would Holden buyers turn to Chrysler for their cars?”

You could have said:
Let’s face it, if Holden stopped producing cars here, who would the Holden buyers turn to? Ohh, that’s right they already have – imported Daewoos.
In the main thy’re not a very discerning lot.

I hear what your saying Reckless but I think the writing is already on the wall for GM & Crysler. What upsets me most, is if they both go under the dick head decision makers will find executive jobs but the workface will be stuffed.

Hmmm, the way it’s going there will be some cheap 300C’s going around soon. Time to stock up on some 24″ bling bling rims!

This is desperation. What are the dealers supposed to do with the cars that Chrysler has forced them to buy? Force them onto retail customers?
This is actually Chrysler’s way of culling dealers without invoking State franchise laws. Force them broke under the weight of stock they can’t sell.

If one of Chrysler or GM has to go, pray it’s Chrysler.

For all its faults and foibles, GM has a vastly better arsenal of “future” cars , eg Volt, than Chrysler which has none at all.

Plus GM is Holden’s parent and Chrysler has zippo manufacturing presence here. Better to lose the Chrysler support jobs than the entire GM operation.

Let’s face it – if Holden were to disappear, would Holden buyers turn to Chrysler for their cars? No. Would they turn to Fords – some. Would they turn to full Euro/Japanese imports – yes, the majority.
