I really don't see how this could help Chrysler at all... it seems penny-wise and pound-foolish and nearsighted to me.

Three more items are forth coming but without official word, it seems hopeless to wait.

No...not at this point. It is more related in getting rid of items that are not profitable. Fixing items that are still broke quickly.

Jim is doing a swell job.

They would be killing the viper... to do surgery on the sebring.. what... the... !@#$...

You know they would probably screw up again on the sebring and then really be in the hole... Why not kill of something even more shitty.. the compass... They just redesigned the viper. How would killing it off right now help them at all? All money spent on upgrading it would be lost. the new ACR.. would be lost. No money would have been able to be made from them.

This is a sad time...

I think the magnum was just a change up front with the front of the car.. [i dunno though]. They reworked the vipers engine, and on top of that.. they were already working on the 2010, which was suppose to be shared with other platforms.

Kill the damn compass.. no one likes it.. Its a sorry piece of shit.

Hope so, but I'll be really sad if the Viper goes away. I think they're doing the right things in a lot of areas, at least as far as redesigning and killing models, but they haven't announced any really exciting new products yet either...

I mean, if they kill the viper to redesign the sebring, and the sebring fails again... *sigh*... It would have to come out as a damn award winning top of the line.. like nothing else, stunning looks... and a performance model with the left over V10's under the hood.

I would kill the sebring name all together and start from fresh. When i think sebring now.. I cringe.

Has the commander taken the axe yet? I would axe it and the compass to remake the sebring. I personally dont like the avenger either, but... It doesnt make me gag like the sebring/compass do.

Default Challenger production model spy pics

More iamges Autoblog

Spy Shots: Production 2008 Dodge Challenger caught, too

AuPosted Jan 10th 2008 2:57PM by John Neff
Filed under: Chicago Auto Show, Spy Photos, Coupes, Sports/GTs, Dodge

click above image for more spy shots of the production Dodge Challenger

Seems like one when modern day muscle car gets caught a spy photographer, they all get shot. We've already shown you new spy shots of the 2010 Ford Mustang GT today, and now we bring you two new shots (the first two in the gallery below) of the production Dodge Challenger that's been caught testing out in public. Dodge is saving the production Challenger's debut until February when it will be unveiled at the 2008 Chicago Auto Show, but as we've seen from official teaser shots, don't expect a car much different than the Challenger with which we all fell in love. This test vehicle was reportedly sporting a HEMI V8, so it's probably an SRT8 model, the same kind that will go on sale this year before the rest of the Challenger line-up arrives next year.

LOL, forget the SRT6 AWD avenger, make a Viper powered Sebring...SRT-10 anybody? With the Viper gone we wont have a SRT-10 anymore... (jk)

I personally like the avenger, a couple of tweaks wouldnt hurt, but it is better than the sebring...
