chrysler has been utter shit for almost 30 years. I run a car lot, I have more issues with dodge/chrysler and toyota than anything else. its rather irritating.

That being said, this is a serious blow to our economy and will cost more jobs most assuredly. We will be continuing to foot the bill for this and perhaps GM's failure for DECADES. More of your tax dollars going to corporate america and not to the things that DO matter to us, like better highways. So anyone rooting for the failure of a huge cog in our economy, is simply rooting against their own best interests. Hence why Carbon21 is Stevie Wonder in a fun house in this argument.
well said and i totally agree with you there cars may suck but if they close think of how many more people that put out of work.

money hungry fucks imo. I think it's cool that they like to make performance cars for the car lovers, but if you're shit's going down hill fast, it's time to make some hybrids or something

Hybrids are one of the biggest losers in terms of making money for a car dealer. Money hungry is another story. If you count the fact that we keep requiring more and more from car companies while they get the screws put to them by the union it makes the price to high. Does that make them greedy I dunno.

What do you think they make as a profit average on cars compared to say honda?
