Re: Merger, Who Is It Good For? A Big Al Rant

I agree about the Wrangler. Though, I disagree with the idea of "throwing away" Chrysler's LX cars. Chrysler has done more with RWD than GM has this decade, so I'd say the LY would take the place of the so-far-unpopular (in the U.S.) "zeta" or global rear-wheel drive architecture.

You seem to push a lot of negative views of Chrysler along as fact, though, which is troubling. However, I think you may be giving Chrysler's marketing a touch too much credit. They haven't done anything that's resonated with the public since the "That Thing Gotta Hemi?" campaign of 4 years ago.

Both companies have HUGE issues, to be sure, but perhaps you maybe onto something. There's nothing wrong with Buick that a little Chrysler 300C can't fix. And there's nothing wrong with the Cloud Cars that a little Epsilon can't solve. However, GM can't manage the brands they have now. Adding three more isn't going to cure their problems.
