Oh yes, I can see it right now….
Lee’s in the field just behind the Dodge raking leaves, the smell of freshly baked bread is in the air, and that trailer is full of ChryCo cash that’s on its way to the UAW for deposit into the health care Verba……
Another perfect morning just outside Flint MI. No wait, what the… Mrs Iacocca has a gun! WTF!?
Actually Lee lives in Bel Air, California and has a vacation mansion in Rancho Mirage near Palm Springs. The Bel Air house will be good for the hybrid—downhill to the valley to help recharge the battery.
Lee Iaccoca is cool, but he probably got rid of his Minivan for this, which is kind of depressing.
I think a more significant headline would be if Chrysler were to sell an Aspen Hybrid – or any of its vehicles, for that matter – at full price, without any money laid on the hood.
Let’s face it, as a Chrysler retiree Lido got his at a serious discount.
BuzzDog: “Let’s face it, as a Chrysler retiree Lido got his at a serious discount.”Still lots more than a Prius or even an Escape Hybrid. OTOH, probably less than a Tahoe or Hylander Hybrid, which are what Chrysler will try to market the Aspen against.
As to Iacocca himself, Cerberus could do a lot worse in turning to ex-Chrysler media darlings for advertising help. It’s unlikely they’ll be dialing up Bob Eaton, Lutz, or Dr. Z for such duties.
He is still allowed to drive?
rudiger, Sure, but at list, which manufacturer is making momey on their hybrid? I’ll bet Toyota squeezes a profit out. GM – very, very unlikely.
So, with all of these gigantic hybrids from Detroit (as opposed to “normal-sized” hybrids), you’d think that we’re like the world leader in “giant hybrid” powertrains for road vehicles, like city buses.
Funny, I’ve never seen a “hybrid” city bus, long-haul truck, etc.
The only thing close to a hybrid that I see (hear) is a diesel-electric locomotive using the few tracks left around here that hasn’t been turned into a bicycle trail.
I dunno, we’re like “cartoon world” where we can buy any kind of glove we want – as long as they have three fingers and a thumb.
