Im not saying I know how to run an auto company...what I am saying is that they havent came out with any new vehicles other than the charger and ram in the last 5-6 years...they should put a little more effort into bringing out something they can sell. Were you aware that the 300 replacement was due out 6 months before the challenger?
 
I am happy Chrysler has something good to show, but they really need a car or two that people can go nuts about. I mean, how many H2 SUT's is GM selling these days?

Yeah, they should already have the Jeep GC out, the 300 should have been replaced a while back, and they should have something new in the way of a small/midsize sedan.

This company has had major issues the last few years. From Daimler, to Cerberus, to the BK, the only constant has been upheaval at the top.

Like I posted in the other threads, things like these concepts are relatively cheap and much quicker to produce than a completely redesigned vehicle. The Powerwagon isn't "all new", it's a mix of 1/2 ton and 3/4 ton parts, along with a few fabbed pieces. The Ram Runner was a truck built with Kroeker, and the suspension will be available through Mopar in the fall. The Jeeps are what make Jeep Jeep, and it's why they have a rabid fan base.

At this point, they need to make damned sure every launch works. I'd rather they get it right then they rush a product just because it's long overdue. The GC next month will be huge, and the 300 at the end of the year will be bigger.

These concepts have created a huge buzz for a limited cost. They fill a void that would only be filled with negative air at this point.
 
the new mantra is that new products will not be introduced to the public until 3 months before production. So things ARE in the pipeline, it just wont be till later this year.
