My Chevy 3/4 ton work truck never had troubles with the structure of the tailgate, but don't start me on the bloody tailgate HANDLE! ARGHHHH! Pulling those two little rods together with my fingers on a brand new truck drove me crazy! My co-worker bought a new Toyota Tundra, I'm going to try to stand on his tailgate tomorrow! He's all proud of his truck, maybe I'll do it when he isn't looking..... :AH-HA_wink: Haha

I'm sure both companies have strategies to get the numbers on their sides, and I'm sure both companies are trying to study the other company's strategies. With the crown will come a few sales I'm sure....

LOL!!!!!!!

I don't mind the shape of it, but I still equate Citroens with 2CVs and 4CVs.... :AH-HA_wink:

That isn't an "F-15" package on an AMC Eagle I bet.....? :AH-HA_wink:

I think Chrysler sometimes shoots themselves in the foot without realizing it. I'm not really sure why the Compass came out, they could have let the Caliber try out the waters for it's own sake and IF it became hugely successful then a Compass might be a good idea. There are sure alot of overlapping Jeeps/Chryslers in the SUV department. Is the Pacifica still selling?

I think the Firepower was *supposed* to come out with the Gen3 Hemis. A more affordable alternative to the Viper. The LHS never really impressed me as much as the latest model Intrepid. I kinda liked the Intrepid before it was shelved. My friend who was an auto enthusiast and not much into newer stuff RAVED about the LHS after driving one, which left me confused, as he's not a guy easily impressed. I've never driven one myself, I have no idea why he liked it so much.

LOL I prefer to think of it as poking Carmen Miranda in the eye, Three Stooges style! :AH-HA_wink:

YOU have concluded? LOL Go fix your hair or something...... :AH-HA_wink:

To be honest I wouldn't have dreamed that Chrysler would be NEAR that many sales. Are you sure?

Are you in Switzerland PCS? Is there a North American car following in Switzerland along the same lines as Finland has? Do you see many GM/Ford/Chrysler products driving on a daily basis?

Wait a second.... Compass. Compost. Coincidence...? I think NOT!

LOL Yeah surrre! Let the Compass compost on the ground rotting! Some gardener YOU are!!!!!!!

Hummer Compass? That's just plain wrong for the Hummer guys!

OK, I google searched fleet sales, and a few things astonish me, but don't realllly surprise me..... The fleet sales car champion? It's GOTTA go to the Crown Vic! 91.3% fleet. WOW! Cop cars and government agencies keep that baby rollin! Chrysler Crossfire at 70% really DOES surprise me though. Who/what companies are buying Crossfires? It can't be police/taxis, won't be rentals in large numbers I wouldn't think.... Anybody know?

Sure, then you would have the Pontiac Compass!!!! :AH-HA_wink:

Any idea of the fleet sales numbers for GM or Ford? Or Toyota? Is it just Chrysler that has fleet sales in the 40% range? I coulda sworn Ford trucks were high sales numbers every year because of their fleet sales... isn't that how many said they achieved the "best selling truck" label?

Jeep fleet sales aren't high because they don't have a large market in fleet sales though. It's not something a rental car company or a work force would generally go after?

And besides, look how busy THIS section of the forum has been in the last couple of days..... :AH-HA_wink: LOL!!!!!!!!!!! Jerry! Jerry! Jerry!

I listen to ALL opinions on all sorts of cars. Somebody INCORRECTLY stated that 300s did NOT sell to the public any more. He said they were ALL fleet sales, "everybody who wanted one already had one". That wasn't stated as his OPINION, that was stated as "FACT". He SAID HIMSELF it was "fact", and that was "just the way it was". Which it isn't. So I called him out on it. Strange NOBODY can post a link to back up his claim, as I am sure EVERYBODY realizes it was an exaggeration/lie. It's not a big deal, I think it's kinda funny, and I just yank his chains (with HUMOUR) about it. My feathers aren't ruffled in the least! Besides, when I wake up tomorrow I get into my CHEVROLET and drive to work. I'm not a fan of new Chryslers except the LX cars and stuff they make that I can't afford.

I've yet to see ANY "credibility" from YOU. They jack-ass you on your car all the time and you lie down and take it until someone comes to your defense in most cases. If you think I'm becoming "less credible" with FACTS, post a link, or point to the FACT where you think I am wrong. Otherwise I'll jump on their bandwagon, insult your car a few times as being the worst built piece of junk on the planet and blend in with the crowd...? :AH-HA_wink: Would that raise my "credibility" rating with you?

The snowmobile guys LOVE the CVTs. So I suggest keep them in the snowmobiles! :AH-HA_wink: They aren't actually as bad as they first seem IF you give the vehicle more gas than you are accustomed to in a regular transmissioned vehicle. They seem to suck power because they want more gas pedal, at least the one I drove did. Which can't be great for gas mileage....

I think it's been relatively good natured too. I drove a Caliber, it's drivetrain is not what I would call a strong selling point, but neither are the Caliber's looks IMO. I guess it's a "package deal"...? LOL

I would like to know if you are calling FloydHemderson a LIAR...? He said 100% was fleet sales on the 300, that NO new 300s were being bought by the public, everyone, and I do mena EVERYONE who "wanted one had already bought one" according to Floyd. So, is he lying, or exaggerating? :AH-HA_wink: LOL!!!!! Your posted data says approximately 27% of Chrysler 300s were fleet sales. Where did the other 73% of the Chrysler 300s go? *waits for insulting replies that don't answer the questions*

Sales for Chrysler are increasing all over the world. Hit that link and READ. Or post a link that says otherwise...? It's almost like you guys think I care how many 2007-2008 Chrysler vehicles sell. I don't. I have to google search to see if you guys are telling the truth or lying, because I'm not "up" on current happenings, slaes figures etc... but evertything posted here seems to be a tad bit on the LYING side, or EXAGGERATED. The only way I find out is by doing searches. GM is the #1 selling brand in the US for now I think- but that doesn't look like it's gonna be the case for long unless Toyota shoots itself in the foot. GM is an amalagation of many different brands too you have to remember...? :AH-HA_wink:
