The New Chrysler

" With the -- of -- report we get the Chrysler. Actually the truth -- some Chrysler on the screen right now so. 35 hour press conference yesterday there is the course of -- the new Chrysler is in the new Chrysler -- there. Now they actually Chrysler bud brand not Chrysler the big company that owns stock energy bill that. But they freshen things up to try to get that new book that the -- by fiat and now we're trying to freshen up. Their product line that you heard that they have a play tomorrow and basically this is outbreaks that next year we get the new grand Cherokee. And not much else the year after that we had not buy new cars and not much else it's not until 32 and this is the new grand Cherokee which. Because you have a car show last year looks okay August -- actually based on Mercedes technology which is kinda funny still using the Mercedes take you know. Beyond those the company. But if that the production version looks as good as that one that they had to be a car shows it's gonna be aware for sure but that said. Couple years ago there are some 300000 of these a year this market's not that big anymore -- big -- how we would you think the -- 50000 of these. By the agency and everything's kill them so significant. So to say that's gonna sell that many units not even close I don't think so especially -- mean the industry. Assumptions -- bit too rosy right now I think at least -- I don't know if you saw they were projecting a Simpson case here and I don't think that's let's play a pretty conservative number against industry but I don't think it's a good the hold up against that. And affect dirty talking about doing the stretch version for god to be three -- seven passengers to get a little extra that I Regina platforms. But doesn't get this they're serious but -- the year after that -- 32. When he thirteen that's what we get as big rush a Fiat cars to come to the rescue to replace crisis midsize and small cars. Fiat 500 of course right here that's gonna be showing up not for the year ago we can hear about this that isn't it our shores until probably this time. Next year he really does it's going to be a niche car. It's a small car. With small profit margins Mormon beliefs limited release so we can be sold in major cities in a tribute to get this probably if you live in Indianapolis served more and I we're simply got to be focusing on. The give new York and San Francisco's of the country. But the other thing is this is not a cause that's gonna make anybody money it's a halo car. It's -- for brand image. It's not gonna save Chrysler but the really knew about this is -- what brand image it's gonna be the only Fiat but you brought me to release those present pilgrims. As a Fiat -- its own little coffee bar that we had. Texas Arizona and kind of the way they market. Smarts and Mercedes dealerships. It again you have to build the whole thing is it's not. As a but the question is an old what's coming its can Chrysler survive to get to what's Alaska doesn't -- his assessment of the incident or emergency. With a brand they really have to bring things probably about sooner mean. It continue -- 500. The Jeep grand Cherokee -- brought that up that sooner. And you know I think they're gonna suffer for that yet politically harder try to do is figure try to tweak. The interiors and some trim on the cars they have now that don'ts of the Dutch calendar. The Dodge Nitro the Chrysler Sebring worst color doesn't mean those -- anyway yeah."

" The underlying problem with those cars shirts it should they get you interiors yeah absolutely because it's just horrifying and an -- cars. But that's not gonna solve the underlying problem those cars that they are flawed fundamentally. In the Chrysler Sebring is a horrendous car. Plain and simple it's terrible."

" Today's even if you tweak it even if you make it look better even if you give people insurance. You're gonna have to throw incentives on you can lose my everyone's."

" And and how do you how do you sell someone out of a fusion or Malibu earlier an accord or you know any number of competing midsize you know sedans and so you know what I think she question. I see people drive Democrats -- Sebring I just as myself yeah. There are 35 other cars within 5000 dollars of that that -- better than that what does drive some ointment not a guy who's currently -- not do it forget about these cars but you what. Who is the person -- I think -- I have no idea. And I and it's every so often -- one and it's you know not rental cars. They're on the rental -- other markets and that's how that's where the winds."

" Its fleet sales in this. It is there is -- the document which probably go to federal limits the about I was not there. But now won't now what India us and show us any of the new cars from -- Who sneak peek. At what the new Dodge Charger which I guess would be coming out. Next the end of next year as it 31 or twelve and twelve models and got to look here. Dodges brand the guy runs does -- GO who's a designer when he saw this he said it made him we. He also said that we're gonna be seeing a little bit of viper in all new dodge is not tiger. I like -- outlook certainly looks better than the new Dodge Charger. There's no doubt about that but. What does it really record is really got this little bit of of the there's speculation that it's actually based on the 1999. Charger RT concept which in that we also a couple of pictures of here. We need to look at that. Give -- a broader look at what the chargers all about. There it is right there -- this again 1999. We similar lines to be a -- this -- actually hasn't been there and looks a lot more like a viper. But. I think it looks -- that -- that was LH platform cartoon from upstate. Yeah this is an old one you know aside from the front which is definitely indicated that it is a pretty good looking car but the thing is. Didn't really have to go back ten years to get the car of tomorrow he knows I wonder if it is ten years ago they wouldn't be the book written all."

" You know that's that's when it I'm very anxious to see what this car actually looks like you know person. I know that they showed. Microphone model you know last year you know it took me to the media there is all kinds of buzz coming. Out of that thing missing that it was terrific book so. You know there's reason to be hopeful obviously and -- in the U 300 is going to be impressive as well so. Those renderings that they had an original plan that would autos without that was it was a little Sasha."

" You think yeah. I'm excited about this this this gets weeks that I know -- about our -- Pontiac G-8 this is certainly get me to forget about the G-8 it actually looks. Like this and I obviously don't know the back looks like in the front but that nice look at mine right now strong shoulders -- spoiler of course. And that gives here resolutions laments what they actually pulled the -- out of their privacy can't seem to catch up and take in this picture. Because it is a little bit of a little bit and -- you show up they really should showed. More pictures yesterday I think what was going -- and."

" You when you have nothing coming further amount of time that they've got nothing coming here what show this car this car should be at Detroit that they you know. Pull this thing out and put in front of people this year and get people least excited. Very aggressive chevys are doing the volt light and there's work to do you know calculated camera about ten years."

" Yeah it's a clash at the movies -- I think it's in the extremely crucial that this car is really execution. I -- we see in this line looks really little bit shallow I'm not sure it's gonna look even in my -- the concept but I think it's gonna have any real. Sincere. Look through this can be pretty similar I think it's is going to be. I mean I just don't wanna see them but you Chrysler have a history of not really executing from their concepts of practice. That's intriguing because he brings exhibit yeah. My concept turned into that -- Get a lot of compromise -- income -- is now what are the speaking of a little bit of viper every car one of the first things BI did when they took over was restart -- reduction programs the first Chrysler. To go back into production after they shut things down last winter weather make money off this is is carloads thousands small quantities. But they sold for 9000000 dollars and make a couple of boxes have a 25 people about this that your little factory in. In downtown Detroit but given up now that next June or July. He goes out of production may be coming back in 22 overall the other cars coming all of this is that eight year. Vitae and beast and he has driven this car. Iron can never have him here for sure I mean it's it part of the joy of driving this car the challenge of driving is that it has clutch travel. That -- get your frequent flier miles it's like a -- quieter they should give way up here in the -- 600 horsepower. Being -- things just insane drive and that's part of people like that rawness is like the idea that action came in this part of what we're here about the replacement. It is going to be tapping into the engineering right of Fiat which of course. Includes Ferrari so. -- we dealt with a Chrysler with that Ferrari. V8 engine and it isn't really gonna be a -- more urgent need a big giant. Eight when you're not content and it."

" I don't think I don't think that they would do that honestly -- Chrysler I mean there I mean having engine production is going to continue based on what that. On on you know what they shouldn't presentation that -- I think the very least you're good to see him. Of ridiculous you know penny in and in some future viper I don't know why they whatever you know go down a Ferrari or maybe in terms of setting up. The suspension and making it dynamically a better car than what is -- that would be great but I don't think that there would lose that snort you know but -- That the car has now."

" We have the need to have VCR model which -- that that's formatting and everything that they would do is make it more Jerramy handled better. Because it's the viper is she has just only a rocket in its plan write a pretty much straight to change line. You know I wouldn't consider it to be Ferrari level handle it -- not easy but it's got a -- I mean it's it's."

" We've got some serious numbers -- you invite governor and they have they have a very long you know story of success of increasing oil exports -- and let. But it's not an easy targets not known as well I don't not a smart timber communities through bus driver and drive that car."

" But I wanna see is if they do a dual clutch transmission is LB shocker and I really -- that -- you're saying I don't believe they're gonna take a furry brown release with the engine. And sound of the car's got to have that rawness that vipers nest the good fight for feel. You know we can't really take this car mention for our guest from Basra it's -- stay wrong vestige of the heritage of viper. What does one thing they came out yesterday that got me feel a little bit because it's that. They're -- will. I mean they're basically what they've done is they said hey what's person got the skills they've got it. Having big cars. And ram pickup trucks and the Jeep of course it will be to keep those -- get rid of everything else to replace it with Fiat which he had to be seen whether or not that's gonna work. But they have we will have gone through a lot of the Rembrandt now one of the things are also doing splitting the Rembrandt off. From dodge I just you know. And I loved and who ran the programs maybe the best pickup truck out there right now but the thing is what I think -- I think god -- always been that way I just don't a lot of people are out there I think in. Where am. Somehow separately from dodged the -- you think you GMC and Chevy trucks you know different ways. What's behind that move decide that they got a great grandma -- have to liquidate the company in the future and -- Rembrandt can be solved you know as a deterrent pizza you might have something there it does seem like they are breaking the profitable -- bits and pieces so that they can possibly get rid of the things that are not going to be -- I'd love to cynicism that might exactly be what's behind this disease or serious. Of all brands that -- when it's purely American they don't sell pick up trucks in Europe or anywhere else to be that's -- we're going to be -- world vacuum. Triple sales to 800000 units a year that's going to be the only vehicle in fact -- vehicle. But the selling overseas is the Jeep brand and a couple years but Williams pure America and its interest."

" In the chat does the stuff that came out of Chrysler yesterday you know talk of having a ram branded sort of sprinter you know -- competitor and all the way up to the possibility of -- branded semi which is -- which is normal which is almost funny. Because the whole look of the ram was initially derive to sort of -- have that imposing look of a semi tractor. You know and now you're gonna come full circle possibly with the Rembrandt you know. The I don't know what they add that do we feel about that and elsewhere especially with the semis. What are they gonna do they get a ramp up production they're gonna -- holding production -- just simply build eighteen wheelers and does that really. Market immediately enduring that's not a big market and there's a lot of players and -- I -- leverage does the existing stuff yet I mean I guess they've got some product in that area you want and -- Fiat has a total sprinter competitors so I mean there -- things all -- That -- forget. Forget what it's called."

" The dual -- which -- exclusive within the -- though I think. But you know Margaret Tracey and antagonist quarterback because they've got sour grapes and new that makes a lot of sense why you want Fiat making money -- true that you -- Opens the door for that Ford transit connect a little bit I think it is because it probably will be -- horse really easy element which. Not just a connecting them the regular transit here's the one minutes it's been. Genuine like sprint took an expert. But especially in -- Collins got to get replaced and there's talk that they're gonna bring the big transit from Europe or make it all on one platform actually but yeah I just with a look at its themselves. Vehicles these days except for the guys you all of certainly by a lot of them but the thing is here's the thing. You're 2009. The real Russian cars doesn't show up until 20122013. PS throw a lot of money emeritus a lot of government money in -- billions of dollars in because ultimately you're gonna spend 23 abilities to get this car company back in shape gonna pay off those bills and make everything profitable again. It Fiat today. For a lot of money right now but if the market doesn't come back if these tweaked Chrysler Sebring -- Dodge avengers don't sell next year and they're not making money. Could be really make it two years with no new product. And no big profits. Probably."

" It is any said yesterday have to double sales in the next two years to actually happened. I I -- he too optimistic. I mean. To think that -- carton that did it right now you're on a very slow growth but it's still the whole industry backing is down what. 33%. Ursula have from last year so you're talking about doubling its size dean head down economy. When people are afraid to spend. You know an -- bringing in European cars especially the Fiat brand didn't have the greatest reputation. When it left. Now that's changed in Europe but you're still gonna give people are familiar -- that. We're gonna -- you know they're gonna sit."

" There and and that much in Europe it's there are no good very good. They're -- very good quality reputation that they sell cars because they're affordable and let me. Our good value but as far as the towards the qualities concerns are still pretty low on the totem pole so yeah I mean look I'm forty years old. I remember field when he left there remember him the image they had -- and my dad does. You bet generation is gonna by the base just simply a medal reputation. So they need to sell cars to kids who are 25 and under the don't really remember when they -- here as stuff."

" I don't know how they're going to double sales. Honestly with the product mix that they have and the reason I keep going harping on that is because in the cart product mix is what you're stuck with for two years old. In order to double sales you would have presumably increase sales in this two year period as you. Trying to ramp up to the new stuff."

" And that's the sedan the midsize sedan which isn't coming for two years. It's supposed to be the pivotal you know that it's like a linchpin. But it's gonna be of two years and it's not gonna bestselling car the first your on the market anyway it's gonna be two or three years and for ourselves or -- Radiohead selling our -- it has. All hot than it -- Be good that for it to be that car for Christ it's gotta be better than the Volkswagen new midsize sedan which is an -- Okay and also going after those Camry and -- sales and everybody's go -- as an -- here and it's going to be priced aggressively the -- this day. It's not getting that much bigger than its current year's look at the numbers it just seems that there assumptions and as far too rosy. And you know all of -- defense -- illnesses image. You know people don't want to -- Chrysler Sebring regardless I think that the government loans -- Obama Clinton people told me driving. You know car that's been you know kind of backed by their taxpayer dollars and it's going to be big problems a big Hurley have to overcome."
