Looking good for Chrysler

[BeerCan]

Did not see a post on this yet. I like the fact that they are getting more profitable. Competition is good.

The MSRP my friend was showing me was at $89K :E

There is no way you can option one of these Shelby's for that much money. Either you are mistaken, or the dealership added an ADM to the MSRP. I think fully loaded with every option is a little over 70,000 bucks. There are only about six options available.....albeit very expensive options. I opted for all performance options and Nav. I would have liked to have gotten the Recaro race seats, but the price was already getting high enough. LOL

And yes, I have burned through much of the tires already.

I've got a friend looking at those right now. I was kind of shocked at the MSRP pricing on them now.

And most dealerships add an ADM which is bullcrap. I got mine out the door at MSRP. It's worth it if you are into cars such as these and the ZL1. Bang for you buck is great and you get darn near supercar performance at a much, much cheaper price tag. 662 horsepower and a 200 MPH top speed at 50-70,000 bucks is a deal.....oh, and a warranty!

I have a feeling you'll see no more Chrysler and Dodge in say 10 years. They are already starting the "death knell" for Dodge with most new products going to Chrysler. It will be Jeep, Ram, and Fiat. Jeep and Ram are pretty much the only things worthwhile at Chrysler and with the exception of Jeep, the rest is not that competitive.

I have been reading/watching a lot lately about the possible demise of the Dodge brand. The name could very easily go the way of Oldsmobile, Pontiac, and the dodo bird. The last couple years I have been sitting on my wallet just waiting for Dodge to build a really powerful car to compete with GM's ZL1 camero and Fords Shelby GT500. I am restoring an old Mopar at the moment and wanted one of their modern muscle cars well. But they didn't produce the product and with rumors of Dodge becoming extinct, I just cannot fathom a super high performance......Chrysler? LOL. Dodge is the more sporty, muscle image of the company. So I did what I had to do just last week and put my money where the product is.....




I really hope they keep the Dodge brand. I hated to see Pontiac go, and I would really hate to see another muscle name icon dropped.

not sure a fully owned Chrysler by Fiat is a good thing. Seems like the current arraingment is working quite well.

[mike_mck]

Is that the same as a Fiat?

I'm glad they're doing well too but I fear that things will change quickly if fuel jumps drastically. They just haven't made the same FE advances that some other brands have.

I love Chrysler so I am happy to see this.

[Hannibal]

Always like to see the big three doing well!

Walter would be happy. :C
