Chrysler: Back to the midsize In the highly competitive midsize car market, Chrysler LLC's offerings get lost in a sea of Toyota Camrys and Honda Accords. Those Asian models outsell the automaker's Dodge Avenger and the Chrysler Sebring by as much as four-to-one. But the midsize car market is a segment in which the struggling Auburn Hills automaker thinks it can do better and has dedicated a team of about 100 engineers to reshape its models. A competitive entry in the so-called D segment would be very profitable for Chrysler and... Article added: 2008-04-28 06:23:36 Article Views Rating: 160

Toyota tootles into Chrysler's space As if American car companies haven't had enough problems with Toyota Motor Corp. overshadowing their products; now the Asian automaker's trumpet-playing robot is drowning out their executives. Attendees at the SAE World Congress this week had to strain to hear Chrysler's chief engineer Frank Klegon's speech when the Toyota Partner Robot began blaring Stevie Wonder's "I Just Called to Say I Love You" a few booths away from the auditorium. The 4-foot 9-inch robot demonstrated its musical abilities every... Article added: 2008-04-20 07:59:10 Article Views Rating: 178
