What would you do as CEO of Chrysler?

2009-02-20T15:56:00.001-05:00

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,

have Lee Iacocca check over ALL the projects going on! He knows how to turn a company around!!!!

Twenty-oh-nine

HAPPY NEW YEAR Y'ALL!!!!

GOOD RIDDANCE 2008!

2008 has been a horrid year for everybody, as we all know. From problems in the Housing market, to the freeze up of the financial sector which led to the Big3's problems.

Here is a little known fact for all you "let them file chapter 11" people. Up until roughly July, Chrysler was meeting all it's financial goals to make 2008 a profitiable year. That was when the financial secotor cloapsed driving away many buyers.

Ford also had a turn around plan that was going to work. GM was the only automaker who got caught with their pants down. They didn't anticipate the finance market to collapse.

And what about oil prices? Who wants to remember the high of nearly $150 a barrel or $4.25 a gallon? I sure don't. I'm glad (as are millions) that we are at a nearly 5 year low on gasoline prices ($1.60)!!! Yet our economy isn't picking up. As of today December 31st at mid-day the DOW is up around 90 points. Not bad. That is beign fueled by GMAC getting $6 billion ($1 billion directly to GM).

Cereberus has announced that it is turning Chrysler over to the United Auto Workers for deep pay cuts and such. They are also disolving most of their 51% stake in GMAC to just 10%. They are getting out while they can with GMAC and GM.

I think 2009 will bring a lot more to the economy. Banks will have to start lending again. Houses will be purchased. New fuel efficent products coming from Detroit.

Rumored to be the next Chrysler 300 Chrysler Nassau concept

Rumored to be the next Jeep Grand Cherokee Jeep TrailHawk concept

What about all this madness in this World?!?! It's just CRAZY!

As you know, the American people made history on Nov. 4th. Barack Obama is going to be our president, THANK GOD! And everything is folding up around us. Oil is down by $100 a barrel, gas is down to $1.83 on the National Average from $4.25 in July. GM is uber close to bankruptcy. Chrysler released the best kept secret in the Auto industry. Toyota has their credit rating fall. Wagoneer, Mualarry, and Nardelli all petition Congress for federal aid to help them maintain their companies in order; General Motors Corp, Ford Motor Corp, and Chrysler Motors LLC.

Lets start on Barack Obama's AMAZING win! Yes, this is coming from a kid that was raised in a very very consertive town, BUT born into a modertate family. Yes I do call myself a Democrat, for a few reasons; The Clintons are AMAZING! Barack Obama, and my utmost fear of George W. Bush, John McCain, and Sarah Palin. Besides being raised in a very very Consertive Republican town, our neighbor and family friend just so happens to be the Republican Mayor of the consertive town. Now, there are a FEW Republicans I would vote for, one is the family friend.

And what about these gas prices? How is oil and gasoline supply and demand? If nobody was driving at $4.25 a gallon and nobody is driving at $1.83 a gallon, why weren't we paying a dollar in July? To me this is just 100% pure bovine fecal matter. Not cool. Now these arabs, (Iranians) are complaining that they aren't making money on $50 a barrel of oil now! COME ON! They are greedy SOB's! Erg!

What about the business of Chrysler keeping a big secret? What is it? That Lee Iacocca is the CEO again? That everybody is buying their 5th generation "Magic Wagon"? That their new engines "Pheonix" are revoloutionary. Yeah, I know Iacocca is a bit far fetched, and that the new "Magic Wagons" are still segmet leading, but not better selling then say a Honda Civic. Well the secret was their revolountionary EV's; The Jeep EV an extended range hybrid gasoline Wrangler Unlimited 4 door, the Dodge EV an all electric sports car that could be Viper based or Lotus Elise based, and the Chrysler EV another extended range hybrid gasoline Town&Country Minivan.

The Town&Country and Wrangler use an electric motor and battery pack to move them around 40 miles on pure electricity, and use a small displ,acement gasoline engine (Pheonix based?) to move them 360 more miles on just 8 gallons of gas. That is 400 miles on 8 gallons, or the equilivent of 50MPG! AMAZING!!!! They do it with around 8 seconds to 60mph. Not bad. Bravo Chrysler.

And what about GM being precariously close to chapter 11? Yes it is true. They have just enough cash on hand to last then to either December 15th or 31st or just into January 2009 with proper handling. I think for Congress to wake up, GM will need to file bankruptcuy and then the rest will happen.

And what about Ford and Chrysler? Yes GM too, they all have asked Congress for a $25 billion "bailout". Chryslers CEO Robert Nardelli is the only one of the three to take $1 per year during the loans, and Chrysler is the only company willing to give the company stake in the company during the loan. So Chrysler is the only company that wants the "bailout" to be a loan, hence they are the only company that thinks they can ultimatly survive this economic downturn and this financial crisis.

Some of you may have seen a Republicna polition from Alabama that goes by the name Shelby speak on how this is Ford, GM and Chryslers fault for their current standing. He forgets to tell you that Mercedes, which is a huge employer in Alabama builds their Chrysler based SUV's there. ANd that he represents Tuscloosa which is home to a Hyundai plant, which builds their Sonota with the GEMA engine, which is a Chrysler engine.

Another thing to think about is that Chrysler Motors, Ford Motor, General Motors, and Toyota Motor all share 96% of the same supplier. If one say GM folds, then the other 3 may too. Got it people? haha.

I told y'all that my blogs were random.
