Future Of The Chrysler Corporation

Just my 2 cents on this topic. As many long time members may already know - I will always have a "soft spot" for "The Chrysler Corporation". In my youth - it stood for engineering - performance - innovation and a good dose of Americanism. However - what I see is the slow death of this once proud American icon.

In my opinion, we are witnessing the globalization of the vehicle industry. It is obvious that "in the scheme of things" America is not scheduled to produce many vehicles. The political types in our club can argue this point - but it seems painfully obvious to me. With this as a backdrop - I will say something I have stated before in this forum - I would have rather seen Chrysler go "out in a blaze of glory" making the kind of cars that were there forte - than to be reduced to what it is today. Put another way - I would liked to have seen them build a 78 NYB with the baddest 440 they could "stuff under the hood". Sort of later day 300. And after that year - branch out into other more profitable areas. This slow death is almost to painful to watch!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
