Comment on What’s Best for Chrysler, It’s Dealers, and Employees? by christiancarguy

What I know is that Chrysler back in those days was big, big into political subdivision fleet business and bid on them and won most of the bids because they were the cheapest that could meet the specifications that were required by local governments. Chrysler engineers to a great extent built certain models for that sole purpose of selling to governments, remember how many Chrysler Police cars they’re used to be ala the “Blue’s Brothers”, or do you remember the James bond chase through Louisiana. Here in this area Elderton Dodge was one of the biggest dealers in the country because they sold so many fleet cars to the State and local governments. So yes the government bought most of there cars from Chrysler, but my guess is they won the bids fair and square…. Thanks for the post… Robby

I have a suspicion that lots of city/county governments “helped” Chrysler from going out of business 30 years ago by buying the K cars by the thousands. I do remember seeing myriads of then here in town (Winston-Salem) with city or county stickers on the doors. (Now this is in no way a scientific assesment; it’s based on “I saw, I figured and I concluded” and have no idea of the percentage of validity. I’d like to hear from the CCG what he knows about this.

Thanks Bob, my understanding is that VW has approved a limited amount of production for 2010, how much if any will reach the United States is speculation. No pricing information is available yet, and that may be the reason for the delay. It would appear with the carbon fiber components and other high tech items it may be a bit pricey. That is also speculation, I hope not….Robby

I’m still going back to Who killed the electric car? and why. “Structured as a documentary murder mystery, with each suspect in the EV1’s “murder” being investigated and pegged with a motive, Who Killed the Electric Car? makes no bones about the fact that something stinks in the story of the sudden demise of the car that came by the too-fitting name of The Impact.”
“Electric cars are quieter, cleaner and cheaper to run than gas-powered cars. As to why they haven’t been fully adopted yet – watch Who Killed the Electric Car? for the story.”

I agree…I fail to see why this merger is even being considered…Am I missing something?…GM is so desperate for cash, they are like DeLoreon with “Things go better with Coke”. Instead of one millstone around their neck, they want TWO….Too many brands, too many employees, too many cooks in the kitchen, and far too many dealers…The only good thing might be for Jim Press to replace Rick Wagoneer…and replace the GM Board with excellent long term thinkers who can “fog a mirror” and challenge every level of management…Someone needs to lead GM and pull them kicking and screaming out of their arrogant status-quo mindset

Audi Completes 4800 Mile Rally and the Winner is . . . Clean Diesel
SANTA MONICA, Cal. , Oct 21, 2008 – With the streets and highways of America as its driving course, Audi proved clean diesel passes the real-world test.

Covering over 4800 miles from New York to Santa Monica, the Audi A3 TDI has averaged 45 mpg, the Audi A4 vehicles averaged 36 mpg over the drive, and the Audi Q5 TDI vehicles averaged 32 mpg. The Audi Q7 TDI vehicles, clean diesel SUVs which will be the first TDI vehicles available in the Unites States early next year, averaged an excellent 28 mpg over the entire drive
