Chrysler is going on a diet
Chrysler to Cut 11,000 Jobs and Drop Models Sign In to E-Mail or Save This Print Reprints Share Del.icio.usDiggFacebookNewsvinePermalink By MICHELINE MAYNARD Published: November 1, 2007 DETROIT, Nov. 1 — Chrysler LLC said today that it would cut up to 10,000 more hourly jobs, eliminate 1,000 salaried positions, and discontinue shifts at five assembly plants in the United States and Canada, in the first major steps under its new private owners. The company also is dropping four models from its lineup, including the convertible version of its PT Cruiser sport wagon, as well as the Chrysler Pacifica, a crossover vehicle criticized as being too big and too expensive for family buyers. Also leaving the lineup are the Dodge Magnum, a low-slung station wagon, and the Chrysler Crossfire two-seater. Both those vehicles are based on underpinnings from Mercedes-Benz, which is owned by Chrysler’s former parent, Daimler. The job cuts, which will take effect through 2008, are in addition to a plan announced in February that would eliminate 13,000 North American positions. The cuts, though expected, are deeper than industry analysts anticipated. The actions were announced less than a week after Chrysler workers narrowly approved a new contract with the automaker, which was reached following a six-hour strike

Sad for the workers, good for the company.

They should kill the Sebring, although that was just introduced. There has been very little praise about the way it drives. And the Grand Caravan/Town & Country doesn't break any real new ground. The Pacifica started out too expensive and when they decontented it, they made it look like a rental car with all the black bumper mouldings.
Of the Big Three, Chrysler is the worst IMO.

They killed the MB platform cars and a specialty car... I would assume that they would evaluate the other vehicles soon as well....

My wife drives a new 300C and loves the car. I think the car looks great for the type of car and the interior fit and finish is not bad at about a B- but I have noticed some issues with brake shimmy and quality issues with some cheap parts.
Pretty powerful car with the Hemi. The steering feel is horrendous though.

I was soooo close to buying a 300C, that car is wicked hot for a US ride. Handling was the only thing I couldn't live with. Might get it as a sedan now that I have the 6er
