    Well lets see. Maybe the fact that none are for sale and out of the three only the Jeep will make it to market by way of Fiat. The other two are pipe dreams, just one offs that are advertised just to say hey we are alive for now and if we did do better in the decision making department they would be out in two year or so. Its a same really they all look good. Unlike alot of folks I dont wish death on these guys I just wish they made better products. Now that Fiasco Fiat will own them I wont touch them. I remember Fiats when they were here. I hated them then and there is a reason why they had to leave the US market.

    There’s nothing wrong with this picture. It’s a perfect example of a Photoshop rendering.

    oooh, I like this fake Chrysler more than the real one.

    Is that wrong?

    What’s wrong? It points out Chryslers total lack of engineering capability. You have a Mercedes chassis under the Jeep, vaporware under the 200C, and a Lotus Europa under the (fake) electric car – also known as a blatant Tesla ripoff.

    Pipe dreams are exactly what Chrysler has to bring to the table.

    FIAT may if they are lucky sell about as many units as VW in the US. The Asian brands are what dealt FIAT their death knell the first time around by building longer lasting cars.

    I’d be surprised if FIAT can maintain a viable presence in the US through the next decade.

    A good looking Chrysler sedan. That’s what’s wrong.

    Shouldn’t they all be eco-box Yugo styled hybrids sporting the Obama emblem? Plus, why build Jeeps anymore with the environmental left’s goal (and that their party is the majority) to shut down access to anything that isn’t already paved?

    Chryslers that might actually sell if they were available? Or is it cars that could have saved taxpayers billions of dollars had they come out several years ago?

    It’s my tax money being wasted on ads for cars that don’t exist, can’t be bought and would each cost me more tax money for every unit sold until hell freezes over. So, yeah, that’s what’s wrong with the picture.

    Does everyone want Tesla to have the market for tiny electric two-seaters all to itself?

    Jeep gets its Hot New Model as an ’11. So they say, at least.

    The ones for Dodge and Chrysler, on the other hand, are apparently floating around in some bizarre unrealizable Meinongian nether region.

    All of you are correct, but this advert is much more sinister, diabolical and misdirecting.

    You see, the message here is “Look at the Future of Chrysler.” So you, the regular “non-car guy” consumer looks at that photo and says…

    “Suh-weeet. I want one of those. I’ll save my money and get one.”

    There’s only two problems with that.
    – The first problem is that you’ll not buy one of Chrysler’s current products, and they need you to buy Chryslers NOW to save the company. But they message they’re telling you is “BUY LATER.”
    – By telling you to “BUY LATER” that really means, “Send us more bailout money NOW!”
    – Meanwhile, the message they keep sending us is “Fiat will save us. You will soon be able to buy Fiats and that will save Chrysler.”

    So actually, that’s three messages. All of them bogus.

    Considering Obama drove a 300C before he found religion, I highly doubt it.

    And then there’s the Escape Hybrid he drives now (tagline: “What to drive when you want to look green, but without looking like you hate America”) which isn’t too far off what an electric Jeep would probably be used for.

    If Obama’s a leftist, I’m Lenin reincarnated.

    The New Capitalism: Selling pictures of cars which don’t exist to politicians.

    The best part is that you can replace all those overpaid UAW workers with some twelve-year-olds and a box of pencil crayons.

    One will be out soon and the other two are nice renderings on what they could do if they wanted.

    Oooh, I know! There’s not a Toyota or Honda emblem on any of those vehicles.

    The 200C Electric looked better as an Audi A6?

    -and is in even more urban myth territory than an actual production Chevy Volt?
