Chrysler slips below Honda in US sales, extends plant shutdown, starts work on autobituary

Chrysler is dying. Honda now has a 200,000 car lead to take over as the 4th largest US automaker. This means that the "Big 3" are now "Three of the top Five" with Chrysler quickly slipping into the rearview mirror of the leaders, and under assault from Hyundai and Nissan.

They also announced they would be extending their holiday shutdown, due the oversupply of cars.

They have also formally apologized for the PT Crusier, Dodge Nitro, Chrysler Aspen, Dodge Caliber, Dodge Dakota, Jeep Compass/Patriot, Dodge Avenger, 2nd generation Dodge Durango (have you had your fugly today?), Dodge Journey, Chrysler Crossfire and Chrysler Sebring. Sebring... *shudder*

Ok, the apology is a lie, but as I was thinking about all the terrible cars Chrysler currently (or very very recently) makes, I realized I included, well, pretty much every car Chrysler makes. Exceptions are as follows: 300c, Challenger, Charger, Ram, Viper, Grand Cherokee, Liberty, Patriot, Wrangler, and amazingly the best car that Chrysler makes: The Dodge Caravan.

By best, I mean "best in its category" not whether I would want to own one. So basically, Chrysler has Jeep, a decent truck, an aging sedan and a decent muscle car, and its one class leader is in a dying class (minivans.) Yikes. Why again did Fiat buy this colander-ship?

In fact, most people think that driving slowly, regardless of what lane you are in, whether you are merging onto a highway or holding up 50 cars behind you, means "being a good driver." Just because you have spent many years driving in the left lane at 65mph does not make you a good driver, in fact, just the opposite. A good driver means you know how to drive, not that you have gotten lucky or simply average for the past 10 years. Personally, I would love to see a class in high school devoted to driving. I think it could be fun and informative while greatly reducing the number of accidents (especially fatal ones) on the roads every year. Right now, the driving exam is basically a joke, it means that you know what the pedals
