Good, the only thing Chrysler makes that is selling decently is the town and country/pacifica and even then the competition between the minivan market is enough to squash it.

As a whole outside Jeep, theres nothing new in the FCA domestic house, the challenger is aging and has a limited appeal, the charger wont compete with more tame minded buyers and those who want total performance have a different sort of market (the kia stinger gt springs to mind)

it'll be a sad time when it goes, but Its time the domestic market got a huge wake up call..

Chrysler has been a dead man walking for quite some time now. It was only a matter of time.

And the 300 is a woeful excuse of a car compared to what full sized luxury cars are out there, and then being in competition with mercedes for that market, and if you wanted a v8 rwd four door why not get a charger?

and the pacifica is decent but compared to its competition i think it gets left behind. hell the dodge caravan is much better selling wise.

its time to take the dog out back FCA... Chrylser doesnt have a place in the world with it's sales.

Chrysler died in the mid 90's. It's been garbage ever since. I used to bleed Mopar blue but I've hated them for a long time now. I'll fondly wrench on my old LeBaron Turbo GT to remember the good ol days.

I've owned literally hundreds of the k and k based fwd Mopars. Loved them. If it wasn't for rust murdering them, i would still drive them around all the time.

My grandfather sold Dodge trucks his entire working career so I have kind of a soft-spot for them(not sure how he would have felt with his grandson driving a Yaris, but I've never had the need for a truck so idk...). Needless to say, we had our share of Chargers and Caravans in our garage when I was a kid.

Sounds like FCA is going to stay the course with Dodge and Chysler while focusing on Jeep and Alfa Romeo. Fiat will continue to be challenging for the North America market.

Jeep also makes a lot of low quality, unreliable vehicles. Their only worthwhile vehicle is the iconic Wrangler.
