A Boost For GM, a Ding For Chrysler

I have had Chrysler products ever since my first car, a 1948 Plymouth. I drove several Intrepid Company cars. We bought a new 300 in '05, put 65,000 trouble free miles on it, and now have a '08 300 Limited, with over 25,000 trouble free miles. I have NEVER had problems with Chrysler products. We bought a new 1974 Toyota station wagon and had nothing but problems with it. I swore then I would never buy another 'foreign' car. Violated that 'oath' and bought an '84 Audi 5000. Another mistake! Now I know I won't buy a 'foreign' car.

I have had many new vehicles in my life G.M. Ford and Chrysler, Every new G.M. Vehicle I ever bought was plagued with problems, one was a New Corvette, I had better Luck with Fords other than Quality of fit and finish, I have even had a New Toyota that had problems that the Dealer could not Fix, But all the Dodge and Jeep Vehicles I have Had have been Reliable and Trouble Free.

Good Day. This world is given as the prize for the men in earnest; and that which is true of this world, is truer still of the world to come.

I'm happy to see comments supporting Chrysler vehicles. I hope everyone knows the almighty German engineered Routan is a Chrysler developed Town & Country made by Chrysler workers.

One last comment, we own two Dodge Ram 1500, possibly the best and most enjoyable,useful vehicles I have ever owned,a 2001 Ram 1500, 318 v8,148,00 miles, purrrres like a cat and no problems whatsoever, 2004 Ram 1500 single cab [Hemi with a Paxton Novi supercharger] Thats Grandpa's toy 13 seconds flat in the quarter mile an still gets 20 MPG. I don't think there is much a media pundit can say that will change my mind about a Chrysler product. And oh by the way I will buy that Dodge Challenger I have wanted since I was a teenager, provided our ELECTED officals don't legislate them out of existance.

Seems to me it's all a gigantic shell game, congress has focused on what athlete has used performance enhancing drugs up to the point of hearings and investigations by the senate, all the while America is being sold out and has been for decades. Instead of being focused on doing what they were ELECTED to do, oh lets say perhaps control outrageous intrest rates on certain credit purchases twenty five percent or higher intrest on anything is far beyond anything fair,hell anything above ten percent is not right. Greed has been the downfall of many people,nations,orginizations,and that being said what is a nation? I always thought and was taught that it was a group of people bonded together and working together for the greater good of all parties involved. Guess I was wrong about that as well.

I work for a Chrysler dealership. We are still selling vehicles, slower than this time last year. Yes, the economy is a big problem, but I feel alot of the media is not helping the situation. When people keep hearing about Chrysler is not going to make it without out a merger people get nervous. Having people nervous about buying from 1 of the Big 3 (Chysler in particular) is making the situation worse. I don't feel plants, dealerships, and suppliers should be punished for a few peoples decisions. There is plenty of hard working people in these companies. So before any negative comments come out please think of the little people working for this companies.

the problem is Americans don't care about America. I have yet to see a toyota run as good as my dodge with these miles, same engine, trans, catalytics. why did I get this good milage from my car, I don't allow myself to be screwed by mechanics.

My friends Grand Am, has 234,000 miles, My brother's durango almost 200,000 miles. What is wrong with Americans, they did it to themselves.
