Spoken like a true GM fan. I think you attribute too much quality (or perceived quality) to GM and give too little to Chrysler. I think it could be said that any american car built 5-6 years ago had a pretty good chance of having craptastic quality while most american made cars today have a pretty good chance of being high quality regardless of the brand.

Chrysler doesn't have a good marketing team either. While it could be a good combination of companies long term, I just don't see how the reconcile all the brands near term. GM has that issue already and now you think they would excel by adding three more brands? Toyota is great because they have 3 brands total, they're not far behind GM either in sales so you can't say that 3 brands won't get you volume.

Chrysler's LY cars would probably be the platform chosen instead of anything from the zeta, if anything I could see the camaro moving over to the LY with the challenger. LY is already set up for high volume sales, zeta is not.
