Chrysler and dodge mid and small cars are crap - you could axe them all and nobody would shed a tear. So what to do with the Chrysler brand? Kill Buick and keep Chrysler?
You can't axe the LX cars. Dodge has the Challenger and the Charger. Both of which are selling well. The charger is getting a redesign in 2010 that should make it appeal even more to the muscle car guys while retaining 4 doors. The charger is also sold in huge numbers to police departments.

Plus the Ram is now way better than the GM 1500s and the HD Ram is released next fall, and will probably be better than GM HD trucks. I could see adding the allison to the cummins to make the best combination for trucks.
