I wish people would stop apologizing for any car that is not a Chrysler newer than a 90.
There hasn't been a Mopar built in 25+ years.
...and I wish people would stop saying that. I won't lie and tell you that I agree with every decision the company has made (or had imposed upon it), however the fact remains that more people are working in the Auburn Hills (MI) tech center now than when it was built 25 years ago. As you will recall, some of them (besides me) are even daily-driving 50-year-old C-bodies to work.
Chrysler LLC or FCA US (or whatever name it's going by this week) has invested literal billions of dollars in capital improvements in the Detroit area in just the last 5-years. GM & Ford have done the same, so no shame in my eyes for driving their stuff either. It also funds the pensions and healthcare of the people who designed and built those 25+year old cars.
Yes all have also poured money into China, but they are now the world's largest market and it would be suicide not to invest there, especially when every other manufacturer is doing it. You want to see more US-made stuff shipped there? Have your government force
their government to drop the 50% tariff added to US-made goods (of all kinds). I believe there is one person talking about this, and his own party is trashing him... Largely for this promise. And for the record most of Asia and Europe do the same thing to different degrees. If you want the hard numbers, I can cite them.
Besides, we can always hope the US shareholders of FiatChrysler wise-up and demand the money-losing Fiat side be sold off.
