Chrysler. 3 cars: Eliminate Dodge Aspen, Durango and Chrysler PT Cruiser….BTW: they were ALREADY planning to eliminate two of these three cars anyway…
Is that the best “concession” Chrysler can make? How about replacing those gas guzzling 300m and jeep produces with an inline 4 or 6????? or dropping the dodge rebadged sedans that are nearly identical to the chrysler sedans?
GM: Eliminate Hummer and Saturn. Gee, it too this many quarters of losses and a second bailout from the Fed to figure out Hummer isn’t selling? And wait, eliminate saturn, one of the few brands that includes porfolio of GM cars from GM/europe, the branch that actually builds decent cars???
Meanwhile still keep Pontiac/Chevy with very little product distinctions at the lower/mid end…no cuts at GMC, despite demand for trucks/SUVs crumbing, and no cuts in Caddy, where the days of escalade and the gas gussling/overweight v-8 sedan are over?
Same old same old at the Big 2 apparently. Still out of touch with market reality.
Pretty soon it will be, Buy 1 Pontiac get a Chevy free, with all the excess inventory that these two are going to churn out if they get the $39billion.
I got a better idea. Why not retool some of these factories and just build tanks, and add to our war arsenal.
Yeah, no problem at the GM/Chrysler with their product mix there.
I have a prediction: Hyundai/Kia is going to emerge from this turmoil much stronger than the rest. Sales numbers dont lie…Their new product line is got it going on.
Chrysler is finished, with their current product line and product in the pipeline, and that includes the 200m.
