As a person who once wanted to work for chrysler. This is really upsetting. I mean Ceberus is destroying chrysler. I wish tom gale was still with them( even though I believe he is with Cerberus now. I believe chrysler still has a chance if they would just put out some better designs.

I hope the Chrysler Pacifica guys received a better separation package than the Nissan Design America unfortunates. The NDA guys were screwed by their management.

i think you're the first person i've heard say they want to work for chrysler. im not trying to make waves, but that company just has very poor business practice. they show little/no interest in the future for hybrid/electric/hydrogen power compared to their competitors and they are being led by business men. they used to generate cool concepts in the 70s and 80s, but that has long since gone by the wayside. like i said, their problem is they don't have people in charge who have design backgrounds. the people calling the shots are guys who are concerned with cutting costs and only finances.
no company could be successful with those maxims. they need a chris bangle-esque figure to step in asap.

I was really saying that I wanted to work for chrysler back when the dodge viper(which is my favorite car) came out and tom gale was taking the company in a direction that I really like. This actually confuses me because tom gale actually works for Cereberus now and you would think he would help to improve his once car dynasty but I do agree with you I would not want to work for them now. They are going in a direction that really concerns me.
