Chrysler Spends Millions Of Taxpayer Dollars For Super Bowl Ad

Chrysler's the only U.S. automaker advertising in this year's Super Bowl, forking over millions (at least $5 million) of taxpayer dollars for a 60-second Dodge commercial letting viewers know they're no longer bankrupt. Maybe they'll use the Pets.com puppet. [CNNMoney]

Chrysler Saves 100 Cats In Sebring Plant, Still Can't Save Self

Chrysler has teamed up with an animal rights group to save 100 feral cats at the Sterling Heights, Michigan Chrysler assembly plant because they can't seem to be bothered to save their cars, workers or company. WTF is Chrysler doing? More »

Chrysler Considers Killing Sebring Name, Needs To Kill Car Too

In what we hope is the first of a series of smart decisions coming out of ~~Turin~~ Auburn Hills, Chrysler is considering killing the besotted Sebring name for their next-generation mid-size sedan. Maybe next they'll deliver less plastic-toy-like interiors. [WardsAuto]

Hyundai May Build 4WD Bronco-Like Wrangler-Fighter

The Bronco's long gone. Land Rovers are expensive. Chrysler's got no money. Seems like a perfect time for an automaker to take a run at the rock-crawler segment. Hyundai US CEO John Krafcik told us they may do just that. More »

Next-Gen Chrysler 300C Hiding Behind Chrysler Guido

Probably because we called it the Chrysler Guido and made fun of them for having nothing, the clever folks at Chrysler inserted what looks like one pic of the 2012/2013 300C into a boring video behind the Guido. More »

The Most Exciting Car On The Chrysler Booth Isn’t A Chrysler

Chrysler's done a good job making the Ferrari 599XX look like its on its very own stand, but the tunnel of fail you have to walk through to see it serves as a reminder of the Chrysler/Fiat alliance. More »

Chrysler Releases ASIMO Competitor 20 Years Too Late

"Maximum" Bob Lutz's glowing orange "tan" was not the creepiest part of the Detroit Auto Show. It's this tiny "robot" with a tiny person (we hope) inside. Either they're an escaped Chinese political prisoner or the Chrysler version of ASIMO.

Chrysler Tries To Kill Us Again, This Time With A Ram Pickup

At last year's Detroit Auto Show a falling Pentastar nearly decapitated us. Now, with help from their Italian overlords, Chrysler's developed a more successful threat; another post like this and they're dropping a Ram on our tiny, fleshy heads. More »

Delta Forced: First Lancia Rebadged As Chrysler

Chrysler's surprise at the Detroit Auto Show? A Lancia Delta! Oh wait, no, it's a Chrysler Delta. Let the Italian/American badge engineering of mediocre European hatchbacks begin. Hey, maybe they'll call it the "Guido." More »

Chrysler To Detroit Auto Show: "Yeah, We Got Nothin'"

Chrysler has taken the art of blowing smoke up consumer asses to a new level at this year's Detroit Auto Show, unveiling enough paint-and sticker-special editions to fill an entire gallery. Nitro Detonator? Really? Let's take a depressing look. More »

Chrysler Prepping Rebadged Lancia For Detroit Unveil

There are no plans for a Chrysler press conference at the 2010 Detroit Auto Show, but rumor has it they'll show a Chrysler-badged Lancia midsize to compact model. An Italian car wearing a Chrysler badge? Nothing could go wrong... [Bloomberg]
