I haven't seen very many of either on the road. I also wonder why they keep selling the PT Cruiser? The best vehicle they have going are the new vans. I have seen a number of those on the road.
Dodge Nitro should go. I must say that I hate those PT Cruiser's. But I do believe it's a good seller for Chrysler or it used to be anyway. Chrysler has several really good cars, the Chrysler 300, Dodge Charger, Dodge Challenger and Dodge Viper.

Those are exactly the cars they don't need, though. Jeep can be Jeep, but Dodge discontinued the Neon right when they needed it most and the Caliber is an inadequate replacement, though it does seem to be selling well judging by the sheer number I see on the road. The Avenger/Sebring is also little more than a bad joke at this point, and I see more of them with little green E's on the tail than I see civilian models.
well thats the problem with american auto manufacturers. too many vehicle lines. make one car in a class and make it customizable.
jeep used to sell wrangler, cherokee, and grand cherokee, and thats how it should have stayed. now they have wrangler, wrangler 4 door, grand cherokee, liberty, compass, patriot, and commander. ditch the commander and stick with grand cherokee. ditch liberty, compass, patriot, wrangler 4 door and replace it with cherokee. jeep is known for offroad vehicles, you dont need onroad liberty, patriots, and commanders. leave that to chrysler and dodge
anyways, the perfect production line for me has always been the older nissan(pre-suv days). small car: sentra. mid size: altima. large/luxury performance: maxima. light truck: frontier. sports coupe: Z. functional suv: pathfinder. one car in each class, and each car is customizable to an extent. some had 4wd options, some had performance engine options. easier to market, easier to maintain, and much less confusion than manufacturers like GM

Aren't the 300, Charger, Challenger (and Magnum) essentially the same cars? Viper may be a good car, but does anyone really drive one as a commuter so they can share the reliability info?
These 300's with the small V6 can get up to 28 mpg highway, which is almost the same as the Caliber. I have an Intrepid with this motor... pushing 110k nearly flawless miles. Right now it gets 27 mpg @ 70 mph cruise, 25 mpg @ 80, 24.5 @ 85, 21 in the city. The 300 should be at least as good of a car (probably better), and is going to be my next one after I run this into the ground. At my 900 miles a week, that will be soon.
As for the rest of the Chrysler lineup, I wouldn't touch it with a 10 foot pole. They definitely need the 300 (and Ram); without them you can kiss the company goodbye. American car companies generally know how to build a good big car or truck/SUV. Leave the rest to Honda & Toyota.
