I just talked to a friend of mine that's in town from Detroit. He works for a materials handling firm who's biggest customer it Chrysler. So he knows a few people on the inside. He's going to see if he can get someone inside to give us official numbers.

I know several people have contacted Chrysler and asked for numbers, and got bupkis. So I'm not getting my hopes up, but you never know. He's come up with some crazy stuff for me before.

He also mentioned one posssible reason why Chrysler won't give the numbers: they don't actually know from the production end - at least the folks here probably don't, since the plant was in Germany.

Anyway, cross your fingers!
