chrysler officially a foreign car....

it is true, greedy stockholders sold out Chrysler in 1998. They thought the German technology would be Incorporated into the brand. Germans simply pillaged the brand for it's value, took the cash reserves, and bailed when it served their purposes. However, they held on to a share of the truck brand, as Cummins made a lot of money for them. To this day a share of every sale goes to Daimler. On the good side, I owned a 2007 3500, and a 2007 patriot. They were good vehicles, but my 2012 3500 and 13' Patriot are far superior in quality and workmanship, which is after Fiat took over. Fiat actually listened to their American employees, Instead of seeing them as a competitor. Daimler would never have agreed to a challenger. Yes it sucks that a foreign company owns a portion of the company. what sucks worse is Obama giving the rest to the Unions, and pretty much looted the shareholders. I think Obama privately co-signed for the Fiat Investment, as Fiat was pretty much forced to purchase Chrysler. Who would loan Fiat any money? There is no way to go back now, but My memories with Mopars built from 1974 thru 1986 weren't happy ones. they were poor in quality, which was good for me because I got paid to repair them, but bad for me because I also owned and drove them. My best running car was a 1969 340 dart as my daily driver, until it became a collectible. I still have that car, and that is a real mopar! If my 3500 becomes bigger than I need, than I foresee a 5.0 Cummins Nissan, as bad as that sounds .However, Cummins dictates the sturdiness of the truck design, not the Brand it goes in.Coincidently, that 5.0 was supposed to go to dodge, but Daimler stopped it back in 06 or so.
