Chrysler on the Block?

They haven't driven the price up for the sake of driving it up. They aren't making any money so they can't lower the prices. Labor cost is the single highest cost for an auto manufacturer. That's why they were looking to ship some of the manufacturing over the borders, lay people off and asked people to retire early. I assume when you say chevy you really mean GM because chevy is just a division not the parent company. Alot of the proplems with GM is because of chevy. I changed from GM (Buicks) to Mopar in the mid 80's because of chevy's cry baby attitude. The Buick turbo program (GN and GNX's) were killed because chevy cryed to GM that Buick's cars were faster than the corvette. Instead of chevy making a car that was better (which would be forward thinking) they had the Buick's killed which is backward thinking. GM is going under fast, they have lost in the billions of dollars quarter after quarter. If you pay out more than you take in you are bankrupt (or the US government, but that's another story). They keep lowering prices to generate sales which forces Chrysler and Ford to follow suit which hurts all three while the foreign companies, namely Toyota is taking advantage of it and getting bigger while the "big" three get smaller. Actually a new vehicle today is less than it was 25 years ago when you compare then to annual salary dollars.

Can't tell I have a little animosity towards chevy or GM can you?
