general motors talks to buy chrysler corp

I used to know a guy that had owned a 74 AMX, I think with a 401 & a four speed. Then he got some GM stuff. I remember in the early eighties he told me he would never buy a Chrysler product. He said he didn't think they were going to be around much longer. Almost 25 years later & they're still around, & he isn't. I have to admit that some of the things Chrysler has done don't thrill me, but I think they have been more innovative & daring in the products they offer than GM or Ford. I think the last daring thing Ford did was the original Taurus. I don't count the GT because I think that was a no brainer. It was sure to sell. Not sure when GM last took a chance. Maybe with the GTO but it was a miserable failure. Probably because it couldn't live up to the name. Chrysler has had the Viper, Prowler, Magnum, Charger (which I think is a bit lame, 4 doors?!?), Crossfire, & now the Challenger. They might not all be what we want, but at least Chrysler seems to be trying. I don't think GM has a clue what's going on. About all Ford has had recently is the new Mustang & I think the new Challenger is going to kick its' butt.
