JCE: "cut the fat" generally means remove all performance vehicles whatsoever.

everybody, don't prod them too hard, or we'll end up Aspens/Volares, Aries/reliant, or Spirit/Acclaim AGAIN!.

all the other Jeeps were created to broaden Jeep's appeal and bring it out of the SUV doldrums. taking all the variety away and keeping only the wrangler will lead to everybody swarming Toyota! (and this from a guy that drives a 4Runner :P)

to Chrysler LLC itself:
DUMP THE PENTESTAR!
you uglified it, anyway, and it smacks of Mercedes...and I don't think they want the association that the pentastar implies!
put the bloody viper back!
if you DARE kill the challenger or charger, you WILL be removed bodily from the US!
if you have to, go see Lee Iacocca
do NOT pull the K car trick again!

If that's the case with Jeep, then they need to keep Jeep as SUV-only and dump all of their other SUVs and crossovers.

Honestly, if they can't figure out what's wrong on their own then they're doomed to fail no matter what.
 
It seems that every 10 years, Chrysler ends up in this very same situation. After being on top of the world for a few years, it all falls apart...
 
It's not as hard as they make it out to be. Chrysler seems to think it's going to take an act of god to make them profitable and as I've said they've lost touch. Making vehicles like the Nitro and Journey aren't going to win new customers. Yes the Challenger is cool but how many people are going to buy it? Chrysler needs another winner like the K car was or the Caravan.

Daimler never really seemed to care all that much about Chrysler, I mean they took them over, got rid of all the Chrysler management and took some ideas from them. To be honest I never really saw what Daimler in Chrysler.



Because they don't understand the car industry. Certainly not from a buyer's perspective. It's one thing to know how to run a company from a bookeeper's point of view; after all, profit is profit. Unfortunately the car-buying public is far more emotionally involved in their purchases than a stock-trading one. Then there's the fact that there are those who can actually weigh the idea of buying a Viper against that of a Town&Country (needs vs. wants). It's a very different animal than Cerberus is used to.

This is not to say they can't pull it together, but they certainly aren't going to accomplish it by rebadging foreign cars. They need a "car guy", and they need to listen to him. There's lots of them out there. Find one. Now.

I've been meaning to respond to these all week, but haven't found the time to the necessary research. I haven't forgotten, though.
