End of an Era?

It is with great sadness that I heard about the bankruptcy of Chrylser today. Yes, it's sad when this happens to any business or person, but this hits particullary hard. Dodge and Chrysler are deeply entrenched in our history and culture. Cars like the Dodge Charger, the Challenger, and the Baracuda are models know to many generations. Chrylser defined the muscle car of the 1950-1960's. And who doesn't love a Dodge Ram?

'They' say this a "controlled slide" and that Chrysler will come out the other side a stronger, competitive car company. We should all hope so. And we also hope that all the American car companies learn something from this. Build meaner, leaner, and cheaper. The American people will support companies that support them.
