Fair enough. He was giving some kind of speech during which he discussed the automotive industry and the bailouts. Best comment:
But they didn't save Chrysler...It is now Fiat because they didn't save Chrysler

I am not a Dodge/Chrysler fan - fair warning.
When I was watching everyone I knew with Chrysler/Dodge products constantly having major problems with a full range of products, I deemed them the worst cars of the 80's and 90's and swore away from them. The cars and trucks seem better now, but enough time hasn't gone by for me to forget the past.
The range of cars I witnessed die:
90's Intrepid,
80's/90's Lebarron
80's Omni
90's Chrysler New Yorker - 3 or 4 transmissions...
90's Duster
Minivans.
Pretty much everything needed a transmission, at least 1, or the car overheated.
Pure and utter garbage

I see a lot of 90s minivans on the roads. I think they actually aren't too bad. But that's like saying the texture of the shit you just put in your mouth isn't too bad.

Cheap gas has arguably benefitted Chrysler the most out of the Detroit Three. Jeep and Ram are up big while their car sales remain flat.

Plus, Chrysler has the privilege of not hearing how "out of touch" they are for releasing the Hellcat. How nice for them.
