Funky Cars > Fiat interested in Chryslers SUVs, minivans
[Leftlane - news, reviews, and info for the auto-industry] This could be a smart move to slap a Chrysler grille on a couple small, fuel-efficient Fiats to put in their showrooms. However, the biggest long-term problem Chrysler has is overcoming negative public perception of their vehicles quality, which has been fueled by anti-american import snobs who are still hung up on the faulty power window switch on their old 1986 Dodge Aries.

While the Ford V8, brought out in 1932, and Hudson’s Terraplane were considered the hot ones, Plymouth’s role in life was to provide sturdy and reliable, if unexciting, service.

[Slingin it from the Right!] ibeef: "The Watchmen" movie review: energy to the world the (once Democrat but now Republican turncoat) Lee Iaccoca who saved Chrysler from bankruptcy was shot happily between the eyebrows for his nerve at leaving the Democrat party in the first place. The entire film is filled with anti-right wing bigotry and hatred, including showing these proud Americans in the worst light possible: as lesbian killers, pornographers, greedy oil barons, US soldiers as despicable killing machines, etc.
[Roger L. Simon] Roger L. Simon » Company Town: Actually, unlike Hollywood, the Detroit automakers acknowledge that they have to do things differently if they want to compete in the marketplace. Ford’s quality ratings are way up (Consumers Reports, the reflexively anti-Detroit testing organization, even says that they won’t categorically recommend Toyotas anymore because of declines in quality and reliability), Chrysler is restructuring and reassessing its product lineup with talk of discontinuing or redesigning poor sales performers, and GM has returned to profitability and is doing very well in the three fastest growing markets, China, India and Latin America.

While you’re at it, demanding a viable business plan–one that isn’t “cross our fingers and hope things turn around”–might not be a bad idea, and would certainly put them in better standing when they hand out the begging bowl.

[I'm Not The Only One] Im Not The Only One » Blog Archive » Liberal Academia Is Slapped ...: I find all of this amusing, not only because of the over-the-top demands being made but by how these students came up with these ideas. All of these demands smack of the same ultra-liberal commie pinko rhetoric you will hear from most college professors, not just at NYU but in universities across the country. Karl Marx’s ridiculous notion that someone who can’t afford what others can should be able to have access to that good or service simply because they can’t afford it. It’s the same commie thinking that led to the “mortgage crisis” we’re seeing today in which simpletons are being kicked out of the houses they couldn’t afford in the first place yet voluntarily agreed to a loan with terms they knew they couldn’t meet offered to them by lending institutions whose CEOs exhibited the fiscal responsibility of MC Hammer.
