When the truck and SUV's started to fall from prominence, they had nothing to sell the consumer. GM and Ford of course are in worse shape, and at least Jeep is still doing well, but the Dodge and Chrysler car lines leave a lot to be desired. They are changing that now, but is it a little too late?
PS - Bring over the diesels for the Caliber. That looks like a great & practical small car, but if you can get hybrid mileage without the hybrid headaches, they would see a ton of them!
I would disagree with this before the daimler merger chrysler was... completly ignored other than the jeep models... now charger, crossfire, 300c, and the upcoming challenger those are all in my eyes good cars for their extremly fair price.
Only a few German and Japanese models are acctualy made here... less than People think... X3, X5, ML, GL are the ones that come to mind quickly though.
