In my view, Chrysler won't change it's tarnished image until they repay their $3.7 billion dollar TARP loan to the taxpayer's !!

And I will not be buying any of their products until then, and will suggest that nobody else does either, regardless of how cool the new Challenger R/T is ...

My local credit union is more stable than most banks because it didn't loan any money using shady deals like many banks did.

no new products anywhere near completion

There's a new line of engines, the pentastars, they're supposed to be really good. The 392 hemi for the SRT8's, and a redesign of a few models are all supposed to be coming within the year. New products should be here soon.

Oh, also the little cars are supposed to start being made in the summer.

It may take two years to get the public to forget they didn't pay the loan back - that I could believe.

Soft quality might not be terribly hard either - the general public tends to form an impression pretty quickly if a car looks cheaply made or not. The latest LX cars don't seem to be doing too bad in that respect; the Mitsubishi-related ones (Caliber, Avenger) unfortunately, do pretty horribly. However, if you give all the cars an interior makeover, I'd say the general public could figure it out in a year or two.

Reliability is the worst to sell people on, though - you're trying to prove a negative, prove that it won't break. And two years is not a good length of time to judge how well a car holds up; in normal driving, even a far below average car shouldn't leave you stranded if you change the oil two or three times. They'd probably need to publicize some pretty over the top head to head torture tests comparing their cars to the competitors. Something like building a half-mile clay oval with a small jump in it and running five Avengers (or whatever their next midsize car will be) and five Camries around it for a week straight. If at the end of the week they have four of their cars running and four of the Camries trashed, that might convince people...

Or it might not, given the Cult of the Indestructable Toyota sometimes takes a lot on faith...
