Built like a Mercedes 3654

I think america let them -- japan they gave technology to -- but japan was already getting german technology -- BUT the americans bought from them -- i agree it needs to be built here -- not buttembled here -- and owned by north americans -- actually in all industries here we need to be doing that whenever we can -- canada too -- we all have plenty of resources but we sell them cheap before we even look at using what we need first and then selling them cheap to our neighbours

i think there are way too many fat executives at D-C who have forgotten about the average guy -- especially the ones who are going hungry working on their lines -- these guys are having a hard time buying gas or paying for the bus pbutt -- they really don't care about performance as long as it runs. the vw bug has had a great comeback. did D-C completely forget about the K car? we haven't. Cheap and reliable, cheap parts, GUARANTEE all the body and major parts will not change over the next 10 years unless there are faults or necessary improvements to be made (hey they have been at this long enough that 90's technology in something like that is a no-brainer -- and use existing common parts already being manufactured here wherever they can.) make it in 2 models with interchangeable body panels -- all with bench seats -- 2dr 2 seater club with 3 belts, cab hatchback with fold-down seats in the back (these should be equipped with lap belts with two sets of hookups for baby carriers), auto trans, optional AWD unless they can do this cheap on all models, no power accessories-- 4dr 4 seater with 6 belts hatchback station wagon with rear fold-seats and optional identical fold-down seats (with same belts) found in the 2dr with optional factory roof rack with built-in extension bars, auto trans, optional AWD, optional 4WD, luxury editions can have power options -- and call it simply the Chrysler K, K station wagon, K 4x4 -- gotta love those old AMC eagles

put their most reliable components in them AND BUILD THEM or begin moving that way

this car helped build their reputation -- and how about designing them so the driver can see all four quarters

i think minivans are on their way out -- at least in canada

they are doing this in other industries -- what about buy nine, get one free -- business incentive -- lets see the police drive around in them vehicles at all except to get away when someone is trying to buttault them

my dad drove his k-car until it turned from beige to pink. his buddys teased him about his mary-k car while many drove expensive cars. he said he never worried about someone dinging him in the parking lot, and his wife has the new car so he doesn't have to worry about getting a call from her -- and it's the gentlemanly thing to do -- most had no response having the expensive cars for themselves. he always believed in driving a car into the ground -- and get two of the same thing. unless you need to downsize quickly or you are driving something soon to have problems or it's a real peice of crap, you bought it because you wanted it, so look after it -- it doesn't have to be new -- my 88 dakota is a real babe (waiting for motor installation -- bought it with cracked block -- i call it a perfect girly truck, but my male neighbours would like to have it too! www3.sympatico.ca-rske projects

the poor dakota -- it is very unfair -- toyota did this too -- their littlest trucks they upgraded in size to get more money for them and now there is a big hole in the market that suzuki and the unreliable envoy are filling
