Leave it to The New York Times to sum up 2007 for Chrysler in just a few paragraphs:
Most perplexing was how a company famed for bold, breakthrough styling — think Dodge Viper — could have lost its mojo so quickly. Chrysler’s year will be remembered for a nearly unbroken string of misfires, including the Chrysler Sebring, Dodge Nitro, Jeep Compass and Chrysler Aspen. Many models fell short both outside and in. If there had been an industry award for worst interiors, Chrysler would have grabbed it with all 10 thumbs, after filling its new models with enough chintzy, ill-fitting plastic to make old Daewoos look good.

![]() Relax bk, I'll take this one.
![]() The spelling plagurism is shown in the Urban Dictionary, so it's acceptable here. We don't grade on spelling, just content. ![]() Ironically, some NYT writers were fired (oh, I mean "resigned", yeah right!) for plajurizm a few years ago! It seems like their credibility has never recovered. LINK TO: New York Times Scandal. ![]() As to the 1.1 million Liberal lemmings that read the New York Times for a very unbalanced view of the world, the webmaster, Mike, can confirm that we don't argue politics in these threads. ![]() Keep it Jeep. ![]() |

![]() Well it appears that about 1.1 million people who can spell the word plagiarism give a rat’s behind what the NYT writes. I didn’t see anything in the article that I disagreed with – those plastic interiors were cheap this year (unfortunately that included the Wrangler). I have to say that I am just as weary as the NYT as to the intentions of Cerberus. At least the Wrangler was a huge hit and makes the Jeep marquee marketable if the slash and burn begins. Thanks for the post – I enjoyed the read.

![]() Who gives a rat's behind what the NYT thinks. It's the same paper that has had serious plagurism issues by its reporters in the past. They rank right up there with Consumer Reports when it comes to rating vehicles.
