Get real.

People know krap when they see it.

I for one would rather drive toilet seat strapped
to a briggs and stratton engine than drive
some of the stuff coming out of the chrysler sewer pipe.

prfesser: It is exactly that attitude that will continue to push America farther and farther into the quagmire it is in. Don''t buy American... It is your prerogative, but then again, don''t complain when your job is subbed out to a foreign call center who can do your job for 1/20th of what you make.

Typical negativity from posters! Do some digging before you spout off. All the car companies have low MPG cars, just they usually have a manual transmission and most lazy, fat, uncoordinated Americans don''t know how to drive a stick. If you can type a computer keyboard and use a mouse to post here, you should be able to drive a stick (barring physical challenges).

I think what Chrysler is doing is a great idea. It won''t break the bank for them, it will sell some more cars and keep people employed. Michigan has been in this "recession" for 5 years now, no thanks to the rest of the US. Now it''s your turn! Enjoy!

Now if only Chrysler could build a vehicle that was worth driving.

Obama''sLady

Bush deep-sixed all those liberal fuel economy targets as soon as he got into office. Yay, W!!!

We don'' need no steekin'' mileage. Gimme my Hummer and $120-per-barrel oil.

And we don'' need no steenkin'' environment. Who needs live penguins when we got them dancin'' cartoon ones!

Long live Dubya!

Had they offered better products in the past instead of playing catch up,
they would not be facing a massive corporate welfare now.
Id never give up my Murano for a Chrysler,

Chrysler is in the gutter-look up Google to see who owns it now.

If they did they would find a way to build a more fuel efficient car.

Clearly not reading the whole article. It says Chrysler is planning on releasing their line of Hybrids later this year

Seems to me there are more pressing issues. Who cares? No need to get all bothered by this, it''s just business. It''s done ALL the time. Ever see a commercial and actaully read the fine print? This is nothing new...

next...

Maybe we should elect Chrysler as president, they don''t have a problem getting gas down below $3.00. And that''s without the lame take the tax off plan.

BTW. what kind of gas mileage did you say your products get? I remember 20 years ago when mileage of cars were supposed to be increased to about 40 mpg, and I am still waiting for that R&D to come to fruition! What is the standing on that? Got any other ideas?

Well isn''t that just so sweet of them! How do they expect us to pay for the new car? What happens after the three year expiration date? Are we then supposed to pay $7 per gallon (which is what it will be by that time)? The same old tricks to fix the same old problems with the same old solutions - can''t ask for more than that cause you surely will NOT get more than that! Good try Chrysler - no thanks, can''t afford it!

By the way, you''ve still got to figure out a way to pay for the car. People aren''t buying cars because of the total economic picture, not just the price of gas. This is just a ploy to get sales figures up. Chrysler does not care for the consumer. If they did they would find a way to build a more fuel efficient car.

However, as with anything offered to the consumer by Corporate America, there are restrictions, some of them being that you can only drive 12,000 miles per year (residents in California put that much mileage driving to work and back A MONTH!).

__________

Really Walt1944? 12,000 miles a month? Did you do the math on that? Sure would suck to have to drive 300 miles to work each day and 300 miles back.

Granite, I undertand your point, but making statistics up isn''t exactly going to help your point

Is this compensation for making awfully styled cars no one would be seen dead in? If so they should be paying you to drive them instead.

Chrysler, how about offering more gas-friendly vehicles? Subsidising the gas of your guzzlers isn''t the way to go! Why not make hybrid versions of the Caliber, Charger, Magnum... etc? ... While we''re at it, why don''t you invest that money you have for gas on Hydrogen and Electric cars? Innovation will get us out of this mess.

It won''t be funny, but when McCain raises gasoline to $15 /gallon, it will bankrupt Chrysler...
