Say it ain't so, Bob! Gina Chon and Jeffrey McCracken of the soon-to-be Murdoch-owned Wall Street Journal are reporting this morning "The New Chrysler" is looking at shedding what they're terming "noncore assets." According to the tag team of Gina and Jeff, one of those noncore's they're looking to shutter or sell as part of union negotiations is its Mopar parts unit. If that happens, wethinks it won't matter how much Bob Nardelli rides around in a Plymouth Prowler — he won't be able to fix the ill will that'll exist among the ranks of classic Mopar-lovin' enthusiasts. We feel like maybe we need a "Save Mopar" campaign or something. (Hat tip to Kevin!) (sub. req.) [WSJ]
