What would you do as CEO of Chrysler?

I'm curious on what y'all would do to help improve the line up of current Chrysler vehicles....

Here is what I would do...


Dodge

Caliber: better interior, new "cute" design and rename it NEON, new engines too! ENVI it!

Avenger: better interior, freshen the design (looks dated ALREADY), new engines!

Charger: retro style but still a sedan, maybe a Phoenix/HEMI engine with a stick? HybridPhoenix. ENVI it!

Challenger: better interior, SRT8 with 6.4HEMI w/MDS&manual. Phoenix v6!

Grand Caravan: new interior, sport tuned suspension and esp, sport seats offered on a SPORT package, offer a stick with the SPORT package, oh and throw in a Phoenix engine with maybe a supercharger...

Journey: better interior, phoenix engines ONLY; so no four banger!, refresh some styling. Close Toulca assembly and move production to Sterling Heights to reduce cost and work force. ENVI it!

Durango: shared platform with Grand Cherokee (confirmed) with a *** of more options and a better interior, HybridHemi and HybridCummins

Nitro: KILL IT ALREADY

Dakota: move it on a uni-body platform (LY/WK?) with phoenix engines only, make it a ground breaking vehicle like the "Magic Wagons" were. ENVI it!

Ram: keep it how it is!

Viper: add in the 6.4HEMI and sell it for around $60,000 to compete with the 'vette but keep the $90,000 v10.

Sprinter: DOA. Kill it off, and base it off the RT platform.

Chrysler

PT Cruiser: close Toulca, move to PM/MK platform codenamed PT. Offer the 'world' engine in it in turbo form only. Refresh it into a "mature" PT.

Sebring: Limited v6 ONLY! Hybrid option too! Better interior and refresh the design a bit. ENVI it!

300: Phoenix v6 optional HEMI standard. Make leather standard. Better mpg, and make it look like the 200c concept with the ENVI powertrain!

Pacifica: BRING IT BACK! Base it off the RT platform make AWD STANDARD! Make it have teh 3.6 phoenix with auto or stick. ENVI it!

Aspen: DOA but was a decent attempt for it's first luxo suv.

Town&Country: better interior, chrome wheels; leather, swivel'n'go 3.6 phoenix standard. make this the uber luxo minivan! ENVI it!

Jeep

Compass: KILL IT!!!!!!!!!

Patriot: drop the 3.3 phoenix in it. re-tune the suspension, square headlights.

Wrangler: phoenix engines

Liberty: phoenix it. offer all engines with with auto or stick! 4wd STANDARD!

Grand Cherokee: well I like what I hear about the next gen (2010?)

Commander: replaced by the next gen 7 pass Grand Cherokee.

Green Eco Mobilitya.k.a General Electric Motorcar
PeaPod: offer a small gasoline engine in it and compete head to head with the Smart!
Make them more attractive like the PeaPod. Let ALL 5 star dealers sell them! They will fly off dealer lots!



OH YEAH,
