The Hammer Has Gone Down on Chrysler

BIG BAM the hammer went down. Fiat is the new owner of most of Chrysler's assets, they closed the deal, probably over a eggs & ham breakfast. It's said the new company will focus on smaller vehicles, areas in which Chrysler was weak. Well if the shrink the 300C it will look funny I think. They must correct some of their thinking on this, don't you agree ?

GM spokeswoman Susan Garontakos said that the dealers receiving notice Friday are being told that their contracts will not be renewed in October 2010. Many of them are expected to close shop this year.

Challenger SRT8 in Auto Lots

Still want to buy another fine auto this year ?
Some Chrysler dealers still have the 2008 Dodge Challenger SRT8 on their lots - including a dealer in northern Macomb County, Michigan that has 19 units for sale.
According to Chrysler spokeswoman Curtrise Garner, 6,400 limited-edition Challengers were ordered by customers when they were being built, but a quarter of the cars were set aside for dealers.
An ad for the Chrysler dealership in Macomb count showed off the dealers nine black, eight orange and two silver Challenger SRT8s. So far the dealership has sold just one with four more to arrive within days. Of course dealers are raking in the extra premium price. On its Web site, Huvaere priced the Challenger SRT8 at $45,145 - a $7,000 premium over the MSRP.
“We’re negotiating each price with the individual customer,” Simpson said. “We’re not getting a huge amount over sticker.”
Right - and this is our “we believe you face.”

Now isn't that a kick in the pants. It's just one of those years where you will have to get a new 300C and the Dodge Challenger don't you think?

Chrysler 300 Pentastar or Cerberus

A Autoblog reader created this photoshopped homage to Chrysler Corp.'s new owner called the 300 Cerberus Edition. In honor of Cerberus CEO Stephen Feinberg. Cerberus of course was the mythological three-headed dog that guards the gates of Hell. I think it is pretty cool. Probably have a problem getting stolen though. The Chrysler 300 has earned an intimidating reputation, being used as transportation for the Mafia and Secret Service alike in the movies and on television. As well as hip-hop stars and even some grandmas.
The Cerberus hood ornament is more terrifying than the Pentastar?
