 Chrysler Jet Car
The american company Chrysler was one of the first auto-makers to experiment with the gas-turbine engine as a method of powering regular road-going cars.
Their fate was sealed in the 1970's when the fuel crisis and stringent emission control standards made it impossible for the gas-turbine engine to compete with rapidly evolving traditional internal combustion designs.
Chrysler never did find a way to mass-produce the critical hot-section elements of the turbine engine at a reasonable cost either.

Chrysler plants two new head-turning vehicles in the 2004 lineup with a new Pacifica sports tourer wagon and the Crossfire sports coupe.
Pacifica is a large vehicle riding on the platform of a full-size sedan and its body resembles either a high-hiked station wagon or a dropped-down SUV but the function combines traits of the wagon, sport-ute and minivan.
PACIFICA: The new Chrysler crossover wagon is large with lots of doors and a big cabin arranged in three rows of seats with individual buckets for rows one and two and a split bench in back for two or three.

 2005 Chrysler 300 Review | AutoSite Car Previews   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-19)
These large, fast Chryslers were not always pretty, but they did represent the best of what Chrysler did back when it was a premium American brand competing with Cadillac and Lincoln for well-heeled consumers.
Chrysler prefers to call this powertrain "fuel-efficient." Given the Chrysler 300's curb weight of 3,700 pounds, we'd say it's underpowered, producing a lackadaisical zero-to-60 acceleration run in 10.7 pathetic seconds.
It's a mistake for Chrysler to reach into the low $20,000s to capture buyers when trying to reposition as a premium brand (let 'em buy the Sebring!), but otherwise this is a smart and highly visible effort to boost the prestige of Chrysler's winged badge.

 Chrysler Corporation: Strategic Management Model Case and Teaching Note   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-19)
Chrysler, using the low cost differentiation strategy, must be able to produce products at a low cost and not compromise quality and other important areas of differentiation.
Since Chrysler has a cross functional team in place and the team might be described as a well oiled team (they have been successful in cutting product development time and cost), Chrysler is in the position to maximize the benefits of target costing through its platform teams.
Chrysler is not in a good position to shift according to this consumer trend.

 Chrysler's TC by Maserati
Chrysler had gone shopping: they had increased their share in Maserati; they had purchased Lamborghini outright; and, not quite so peripherally as it might seem, had purchased AMC/Jeep (and a connection, no matter how tenuous, with Renault, who had finally decided not to bring in the Alpine A310 V6 turbo).
It is not to be confused with the Getrag internals used in the Chrysler case in the late Turbo II applications.
Chrysler is going to grant, to a limited number of superior Chrysler/Plymouth dealers, a separate TC franchise, and if the car were called "Chrysler," they would not have been able to do so.

But this proved a poor year for the industry in general and Chrysler in particular, so only about 16,000 Imperials were built for the model year.
Chrysler engineers were by now sufficiently experienced with unit construction to use it for their most-expensive product, and newer technology allowed computerized stress testing of a given shape before it was ever built.
Seeking to cut losses, Chrysler decided it was time to forget Imperial, and the last ’75 Imperial left the Jefferson Avenue plant in Detroit on June 12, 1975: a LeBaron hardtop sedan bearing serial number YM43-T5C-182947.

About 100 engineers at the Chrysler Tech Center in Auburn Hills, MI, staff the team, which was formed this past October and is leveraged by an equal or larger number of engineers from outside companies.
Chrysler will not reveal the impact that its "turnaround" plan, which includes the layoffs of 6800 salaried and 19,000 hourly employees, will have on the engineering organization.

Chrysler's Intrepid, launched in 1992 as a 1993 model, marked a significant move forward in design and driving dynamics for the penta star brand.
The result was strong sales, helping to increase Chrysler's profile and profitability in the important midsize sedan segment (it should be said that the new model was rated as a large sedan).
Chrysler also offered the LHS luxury model based on the same platform, but with a longer wheelbase, more luxurious appointments, a classic waterfall grille and a more formal roofline.

Chrysler's view seems to be a cost-benefit ratio where it is cheaper to let these circumstances happen where a few people could become hurt or killed and Chrysler doesn't have to pay to redesign and replace all the defective parts.
Chrysler at one time said they cannot do anything because they have not seen the problem happen and claim they have no idea what is causing Jeeps to suddenly shift from park to reverse on their own.
Chrysler had to have known that similar components were used in their line of minivans, however kept quiet and tried to avoid recalling their minivans.

 usnews.com: Auto reviews: 2003 Chrysler Town & Country (12/17/02)
In contrast to the clunky ride and the styleless interior I recall from just a few years back, Chrysler's modern minivans have finally shed their own baggage, which was a rough utilitarianism derived from the vehicles' blue-collar roots.
And although the Town & Country is the top-line Chrysler minivan, the body frame, suspension, transmission, and other essential components are the same as those on the Dodge Grand Caravan and the Chrysler Grand Voyager, which start at about $22,000.
The one in greatest need of an update is the third-row seat, which does not fold flat into the floor like the one on the Honda Odyssey and Mazda MPV minivans, and even on some SUVs.

Chrysler vehicles are already sold in Japan, albeit in small numbers - fewer than 1,000 in Q1 2007 - and Dodges are sold by small importers.
While the Associated Press (and Detroit News) have described the information with a straight face, it is worth noting that the ACCF is a neoconservative, oil-industry funded group without a reputation for scientific credibility.
Kerkorian, whose prior attempt to buy Chrysler in 1995 drove Robert Eaton to give the company to Daimler-Benz, included in his offer a "substantial portion of equity" to the UAW as part a way to cut health-care costs.

 Volkswagen-Chrysler may build new vans in Windsor
Chrysler will build the minivans either at the Chrysler plant in Windsor or in St. Louis, Mo., Volkswagen chairman Wolfgang Bernhard told reporters at the Los Angeles Auto Show.
Chrysler was using 90 per cent of the capacity of its 13 North American plants in 2004, compared with 100 per cent capacity at rival Toyota Motor Corp., according to the most recent Harbour Report, which measures plant productivity.
LaSorda said Chrysler plants are flexible enough to produce minivans tailored for Volkswagen with little or no effect on the Dodge and Chrysler lineup.

In the 1970s, before the debut of the 1984 Plymouth Voyager, there was a full-size passenger van by the same name based on the Dodge Sportsman van—this was a bit of badge engineering to help Plymouth dealers improve their sales.
