Well, I have to say, I went to the dealership a couple of times to "get a good deal" prior to their merger, and I got good deals all right - but the car lineup they have, including the Jeep line, is crap. Hopefully Fiat will do a better job than Daimler in influencing the lineup.

Here is my vote!

The RAZOR.....

Way back in 2002 DiamlerChrysler proposed a bare bone 2 seat roadster with little more than a quick 4 cylinder 5 speed tranny and lots of room for after market goodies.

The price point was to be in the 12-15K price range. The vehicle was basically a newer version of the post WWII sport cars such as the Austin, MG and Jaguar type vehicle---fun and affordable. Heck, the spare tire system was 2 Razor scooters--not a spare by our definition.

Instead Chrysler picked up the R-170 chassis SLK and added their sheet metal and rebadged it as the CROSSFIRE.

This would be a great vehilce for the mod'ers in our little community---I'd jump on it in a heart beat and park it next to my Mercedes SLK and play with it all day.

I really don't care much what passenger cars they build as long as they keep building a mini van with similar room as the current models. Some of us need such a van in order to get a person in a wheelchair in comfortably.
