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...

John McCain said Sunday that Chrysler Group LLC is unlikely to survive, despite receiving nearly $15 billion in government loans. McCain, the 2008 Republican presidential candidate, reiterated his opposition to the $80 billion auto industry bailout begun by President George W. Bush last December. "No, I don't think we ever should have bailed out Chrysler and General Motors," McCain said in Arizona, where he was serving as grand marshal of at the NASCAR Sprint Cup series race at the Phoenix...

This modestly camouflaged mule likely has the 2011 front end grafted onto a current 300C SRT8 body to conduct airflow testing. A new motor, along with the new "LY" chassis, may also be underneath the body. The LY chassis will be a heavy rework of the current LX chassis. Some current components will be carried over. Fiat is said to be planning future cars on the... Full article...

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. "Is the plan outlandish or merely wildly ambitious?" said analyst Michelle Krebs of Edmunds.com, who described the overall... Full article...

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. Time is not on Chrysler's side because the clock clearly favors crosstown rivals Ford Motor Co. and, yes, General Motors Co. -- both of which have killer products in showrooms, right now, that deliver on...

Fiat is already planning and expansion of the Ram vehicles for 2012. This spring Italian automaker has purchased Chrysler which owns several brands including Dodge.

Ford Motor Co.'s Alan Mulally never wears a suit. A sport coat and tie, but not a suit. Not even when he's meeting the president. General Motors Co.'s Fritz Henderson is almost always in a suit. He's a financial guy. Chrysler Group LLC's new CEO Sergio Marchionne is a sweater and slacks guy, which held true Wednesday when he and his team unveiled the company's business plan here to analysts, media and the world.

The profit forecasts are based on big cuts in expenses that already are under way; economies of scale from sharing parts and vehicle platforms; and a volume increase that calls for doubling U.S. and worldwide sales in five years. It will be a big gain from the... Full article... Article added: 2009-11-05 10:37:24 Article Views Rating: 42 |
