    I can name a number of cars with lovely Italian bodies and torquey American V8s but am wracking my memory for a sporting American car with Italian power. Any help? #dodgeviper

    @Alfisted: Sorry initially misunderstood the question. The correct answer is Vector M12 #dodgeviper

    Gawd.

    As long as they don't call it Alliance, Medallion, Avenger, Nitro, Reliant, or any other crap which has FAIL written on it in indelible marker, it'll be better than the Sebring.

    Erk. That's probably what they'll call it.

    (repeatedly smacks forehead)

    The Viper ain't goin' nowhere. That tooling is paid for. #dodgeviper

    Are they losing money building the Viper? If not, keep building it. At the very least you can roll out an infinite series of commemorative editions or tribute models.

    You can slot in a high end Alfa either above or below the Viper and keep each well differentiated, and complementary. Viper is all about raw power and a stripped down experience. The Alfa can stress refinement, handling, creature comforts, fuel efficiency, whatever.

    Maybe that would help you get those last Sebrings off the showroom floor? #dodgeviper

    Well. Ferrari in the sense that the engine might be based on a 10 year old Ferrari engine design through Maserati. But Chrysler's used to taking someone else's trash and making a living, right? #dodgeviper

    I'm hungry for some spicy Italian made in America. Let's have it.

    By-zee-bye, the new Chrysler logo doesn't really speak to me. The old pentastar didn't mean much, but what with all the tortured convolutions of corporate jockeying it didn't seem wrong either - maybe they were trying to invoke a demon. Or if you included what little shards of AMC were left when they started using it, it represented five corporate divisions. What's up with the eagle?

    Or is it supposed to be a phoenix? That wouldn't suck. And nobody at Pontiac gets to complain, because they're gone. #dodgeviper

    BTW if anyone wants to listen to the plans of an Italian-Canadian trying to save an Italian-American company you can do so via the Chrysler webcast.

    You would think these companies would buy domain names as soon as they thought of the name of the product.

    I guess not.

    Give us the Wrangler pick-up. #jeepmojave

    How many people will have trouble pronouncing the name? "Mo-jave," just like it's spelled.

    Those people should be encouraged to buy Volkswagen Touregs, or maybe Tiguans. #jeepmojave

    @Elhigh: Precisely 0.0% of the target market for this Jeep (if indeed it is the Comanchiator) will mispronounce the word Mojave. #jeepmojave

    @weatherman: Yeah, the target market will get it right, no question.

    No, what about all the urban dwellers who can't resist showing how tough and backwoods-smart they are? While they're in line at Starbucks for their daily Mocha Latte, no foam.

    My mom lives in the DC area. You'd think she wouldn't be in the target market, and really she's not. She hates her Wrangler's lousy mileage and the big bite when it comes time for new tires. But the heads-up stance and tight turning circle make spotting downtown parking spaces, and whipping around to go get them, a breeze. A bouncy, rumbly breeze.

    So what's the word on this thing? It sounds like it may be a new Comanche, but all I'm hearing is rumors, nothing concrete. #jeepmojave

    Finally, after a long list of stupid fuckups, GM's board makes a good decision. Opel already has platforms used across the world. It is far too integrated into GM globally. Now the only thing to do is to integrate it into GM NA.
