Re: Fearing the end, Chrysler fans flock to museum
Chrysler has been to the wall before (remember Lee and his Caravan keeping the Chrysler boat afloat back in 1984). Now we're all driving basically a Mercedes engineered set of wheels with the Crossfire, which didn't catch the mass market interest. (Neither did Pontiac's Fiero find a solid market)
Chrysler needs to pull another rabbit outta the tophat and maybe FIAT might have some fresh ideas that cranks up the North American market share for Chrysler. Don't knock it until you've seen it.
Volkswagen did it with the Beetle many moons ago, Renault did it more recently for Nissan and Infiniti with the 350ZX, the G35 Sports Coupe.
When was the last time any of the "Big 3" actually tried and polled consumers on what they would like in their next vehicle? Simple things like 4, 6 or 8 cyl., 2 or 4 door, rate priorities like mileage or performance, etc., etc. I'm getting pretty tired personally of these "retro" vehicles. I've been there, done that..don't wanna do it again.
