Chrysler deserves 2nd bankruptcy

They deserve it for all the stupid engineering mistakes of their past! From the cars to the trucks, just little, aggravating things that the ford and chevy guys could make fun of. I can give some examples that I have encountered, I'm sure that others can give even more that I haven't seen. Rich

over the years, the bean counters have made just as many design considerations as the engineers.

Unfortunately, many great designs have been ruined when the bean counters and salesmen get involved.
Bean counters complain that its not profitable
Salesmen complain they "cant sell it"

When the orignal 392 hemi was killed in the 50s it was because the bean counters said they could save about $25 on the casting by going to wedge heads. After it was all said and done the savings were never realized.
