    I have to wonder how many of the cars on this ledger were actually sold? As opposed to, you know, delivered to a dealership whether or not they were wanted, and now sit there waiting to be discounted below invoice, so the dealer can stop paying porters to move them around and wash the dust off of them every once in awhile.

    I'd buy a Sprinter. If I had a business and needed one. But I don't so I won't, and nothing else could convince me either.


    However, I found a good-looking Suzuki Swift GT on eBay... should be worth more than any ChryCo (ChryLLC?) product about a year from now.

    How is it that the Sebring outsold the 300?

    Geez, Caliber, Sebring, Pacifica, PT Cruiser, all tanking.


    Chrysler needs to stop building stuff that nobody wants and start selling stuff that they do . . . like methamphetamine.

    Wait... aren't they already doing that?

    Holy crap it's like the Magnum is made of spent reactor fuel.


    Notice Jeep seems to hold its numbers a bit better than Chrysler overall.


    Best performer: T&C. Far and away, even better than the stablemate Caravan, which is way cheaper. What's up with that?


    And the Caliber. Ugh.

    I fear Chrysler is circling the drain at ever-increasing speed. It may gob up the works briefly, but I expect the Humongous Plumber's Helper that is a helluva lot of unsold inventory aka Operating Capital Tied Up On Dealer's Lots may help give it the last few mighty shoves it needs to begin its final grinding slide down the pipe.


    Ker-splash!

    @giggitygiggity: I was thinking about this on my drive home... if they got the cost of the Sebring/Avenger down to where it belongs, it could be the car they need. The problem is, it needs to be well in the sub $10k range for what you get. And I don't mean $9,999.
