Every one of them are worthy of chopping aside from the Grand Caravan maybe. The other vehicles are complete junk(as are a majority of Dodge/Chrysler products).

The Grand Caravan surprised me as well. They own that market.

Off the top of my head: Charger, Challenger, Ram Trucks, Wranger, Grand Cherokee, Liberty

Fiat is bringing in the Fiat 500 and 300 as Chryslers, and they are bringing Alfa Romeo back as well.

PT is dead.
Sebring and Avenger ride on a failed midsized platform. It will probably be replaced with an Alfa variant.
Everything else is a copy of the the other
Compass, Patriot, and Caliber are all the same cars
Avenger and Sebring are teh same
Nitro is a Liberty...overlap
Commander and Durango are overlap

Remember that Ram is a new brand...like GMC.

The Jeep lineup was better in the early 2000's with just the Grand Cherokee, Liberty (Cherokee replacement), and Wrangler. WTF were they thinking by adding Jeeps that can't even go offroad (see Compass and maybe even Patriot). Glad to see they're cutting back on the crappy vehicles!

pt did good the first few years, died off after the turbo though. does chrysler make their own minivan, i.e. town and country, still? most of those cars do suck eggs though.

I predict failure.

yessssssss!

that is a lot of cars! i think the only thing keeping them afloat right now is the challenger (cuz a lot of people like that car) and their trucks, sorta, ive seen them disappear off the road a lot.

maybe if they didnt have stupid features like 'heated steering wheels' then they wouldnt be in this problem, i know it sucks in the winter to have a cold truck, but then just friggen wake up 2 minutes earlier and run it for a bit.

Yeah, Challenger isnt doing much anymore. Camaro outsells Mustang and Challenger combined right now.

My thoughts exactly.
