chrysler officially a foreign car....

Welcome to the global economy. Big, international companies are just that. And quite frankly, so long as they don't do any worse that Daimler did (if that's even possible), things should be OK. Will they make new cars we like? Support the older stuff through Mopar Performance, come back to NASCAR? Well, time will tell. If the UAW wanted to be in the car business long term, they wouldn't have sold their shares. If FIAT weren't looking for a plug and play model range to re-establish themselves in the North American market, they'd not have bought them.
