Clearly, they build vehicles that nobody wants to buy.

Too bad they are UAW shops. When workers smoke pot, and drink beer on their lunch breaks, in addition to the legendary poor work habits of the UAW, I cannot get too excited. I certainly will never buy a UAW built car again.

Two of our vehicles are built in the US, one in Toledo, the other in St. Paul.
No problems with either.

The last one I had built in Detroit was a 1964, which had a persistent rattle noise that the dealer couldn't fix. We finally it when i was a kid and helped my uncle take off the rear fender and there was an empty coke bottle between the body and frame. Since then we've had several Japanese cars until the last two.

I knew some Tea Party knothead would think this is bad news. Outafocus must'a had an "Uncle Ernie" who was a UAW member. Poor kid.

GREAT news, thanks for sharing. I heard a rumor that Fiat/Chrysler was going to bring back the full sized Wagoneer--not sure if there is any truth to that.

I wouldn't be surprised, since the demise of the Commander left them without a big SUV, and the latest generation Liberty is just like the old Cherokee.

Could be any old office somewhere.

I have a riddle for you: divide the number of Chrysler employees who have been busted for booze and pot by the total number of all Chrysler employees, and then tell me how many zeroes there are to the right of the first zero and the decimal point. (Or, if your calculator gives you a negative exponent, you can get credit for listing that too.)

Go.
