Wow got you a little mad there-I guess we should not talk about market share, lay offs, outsourcing and recent plant closings.

Nope, just refuting some lame-assed line by a blowhard that doesn't know automotive history.
Sure, talk marketshare. In '05 Toyota was, what ~15% overall? A whole one percent over Daimler-Chrysler? Sweet. Way to go. Toyota's model lineup is much larger, yet they can only eek out a slim margin.
I guess when that whole lineup is a complete snooze-fest that's what happens.

Chrysler hasn't closed a plant in a few years now. They are doing far better than the other union-choked companies. If they could ever get away from the union workers they would be far better off.
That's Toyota's only real advantage. Boring cars with boring specs built without union bullshit overhead, but still overpriced. Sheeple still buy them up in droves because they think they are actually better cars.

How's that new Prius recall going? No, not the last one, the recent one?

I suggest anger management classes-It speaks volumes of your true intelligence when you resort to name calling-I dont want to hijack this thread anymore than it already has been. We can have a conversation regarding our differing views at another time on another thread maybe or in person.

Now back to your regularly scheduled program

I suggest education. Your intellect has already spoken volumes.

Where was the name-calling, oh great automotive and life uber genius?

I vote for anger management too... But I agree Chrysler is doing exceptionally well: unlike the two other US automakers; they're making product that people want to have. They've got phenomenal guys working in the styling department - in contrast to GM who has some old fogies trying to bore you to death.

BTW: The "5.7L V8 HEMI" isn't a Hemi itself.
That thing got a Hemi? No, not really - News - Automobile Magazine
