The partnership was announced at the American debut of Nissan's LEAF electric car at Dodger Stadium in Los Angeles.

The Auburn Hills automaker, whose U.S. sales have fallen 39 percent this year, has been particularly stung by poor quality and consumers leaving for other brands. Chrysler executives are quick to admit to their struggles and... Full article...

Stylish and clean, they're the darling of the renewable-energy crowd, which is hailing the scheduled roll-out of several e-powered models next year as a major blow against global warming.

"The parking garage defines our built world; our embrace of the car culture; and the price we've paid for that love affair," said Shannon Sanders McDonald, author of "The Parking Garage: Design and Evolution."

The plan, unveiled Wednesday during an eight-hour session in Auburn Hills, may be a fair representation of what Chrysler needs to do to thrive and repay its loans, but some of the benchmarks, such as the projection of a 4 percent market share increase, are stopping many cold.

I say this not because CEO Sergio Marchionne doesn't have a track record of turning around businesses, because he does. Nor because the men and women of Chrysler can't deliver the upgraded cars and trucks promised at Wednesday's marathon confab. They can.
