In America we have diverse terain, mountain roads, snowy roads and big potholes. We need cars, SUV’s and trucks with strong construction, and suspension that can take some abuse, control arms made of steel, not aluminum, and trucks and SUV’s with upper/lower control arms, not macpherson struts like glorified tall cars. Vehicles cost too mutch nowadays not to last a long time, and be sturdy for at least 10 years. And by the way, does everything need to be unit body construction?

Fiat does not understand the US market. Their marketing moves prove this. Americans have very much different requirements and tastes in cars and trucks than Europeans or Asians. For example, 90 HP sub-compacts just don’t cut on our highways. We have a word for cars like that, “Road kill.” And Muscle Cars are supposed to be objects of HP-abuse. They serve no other purpose in life. If you want a responsible car, you buy a normal 4-door sedan.

If Chrysler will not keep up with the new camero and the mustang 5.0 in horse power I will have to go with Ford. Chrysler is trying very hard to stay the number three us auto maker. I do not understand why they want to be in last place.I love the new dodge challenger but its over priced and needs at least another 75 horse power. Ford has done it, GM did it, come on Chrysler you can do it too.

I guess Fiat will drive the last nail in the coffin! They seam determined to destroy Chrysler/dodge/jeep and make some version of their own cars here. Why even bother? No one is buying Chrysler products today. Who will buy one after Fiat gets through raping all of the models and turning them into some wimpy little POS?

my first new car was a ’66 Dodge Charger. I’ve had 19 more Chrysler products since, to include the one I have now, a 2009 Challenger Hemi’ I probably won’t have another. I’m going
Ford, from now on.

No viper? I don’t care if it’s not a big seller, that’s just stupid.

What is Jeep thinking? Sorry but from a engineering standpoint Jeep is alienating its prime focus group. Building the new wrangler with a 3.8 V-6 taken from the chrysler mini van?. Let me know how that works out for you. This V-6 is Junk, don’t take my word for it, asked any dealership mechanic. I am a real Jeep guy. I have owned four jeeps. I currently own a 47 Willys CJ-2a (restored) and a 69 CJ. My last jeep was a 97 Grand Cherokee. Sorry but the wranglers are barbie Jeeps. Jeep build and engineering is so lacking in quality they are not even a consideration for a new vehicle purchase. I love my old Jeeps, but I also have two new Toyotas. Jeep needs to learn a lesson about long term customers, while they still have some.
