for whatever reason, Buick is consider a "luxury - brand" in China. That maybe why its built there.
I still wouldnt buy it.

Nov 1st 2007 1:02PM you got to be kidding! Time Mag is crap anyway. The only thing about the iphone is the software/interface, thats it. Touch screen phone is nothing new. Palm came out with that concept first.

You are right, but they are basically all the same cars/SUV that is rebadged under a different name. true that the Japaneses also do the same with their Acura/Infiniti/Lexus divisons, but noticed the difference - they are all 'Luxury" cars.
Thats what Chrysler/Dodge needs to do. You are selling the same SUV across 3 lines Dodge/Chrysler/Jeep. That's too much resource wasted on just one car. Why not put the same engineers to good use instead of making subtle changes for each different line, use them to design future models so that each car can get a redesign every 4 yrs instead of like the PT cruiser which is older than dirt. Irregardless if its a 'retro' car or not.

1. would you buy a compact car made in China? NOT!! nor will US consumers
2. unfortunately, that is what they need to do, where does Chrysler fit - is it a luxury brand? middle of the road? they make cars that compete with their own dodge brand - what is the purpose of that????
3. unfortunately, Toyota has gone the way of GM - noticed the recent drop in quality, I have a US built 2005 Sienna XLE made here in my home town, and its got problems.
4. my point about Jeep was why produce SUV's in both Dodge and Jeep brands, use their resources wisely and probably better market the Jeep brand as "Dodge's SUV". You have Jeep SUVs competing against Dodge SUVs/Crossovers.
5. That's the problem, according to you if they still run the company the way they are doing it now,, they will do fine. Unfortunately I'm not sure where you live but Dodge/Jeep DO NOT sell very well.

Oct 31st 2007 11:09AM This is what bobby boy needs to do:
1. Establish Dodge - entry level, everyday vehicles
2. Get rid of Chrysler name and establish a new 'Luxury Division' to compete head on with the Lexus and Acuras (They are just rebadged Toyotas and Hondas with better quality materials, components, etc.)
3. Keep the lines simple like Honda and dont follow the lead of Toyota which nows has 3 different lines (Toyota, Scion, Lexus) - it takes up too many resources. Granted now even Honda is getting into too many segments - now sure why a CRV and the Element ? what is the purpose of that)
3a. Dodge line - entry compact (fuel efficient, etc)
3b. Dodge line - midsize similar to the Accord and Camry
3c. Trucks
3d. If bob insists on keeping the Jeep name - sell those with the Dodge lines so that they continue to have SUV's without wasting resources in designing a completely different line under the Dodge name.
3e. Dodge line - can can't forget the minivan
4. the Chrysler name is tainted. Come up with a new name for the Luxury division - Keep the line again simple - 2 sedans, ? luxury coupe, 2 SUV's. That's it.

Oct 1st 2007 12:58PM I'm sorry for all those poor people with 'bricked' iphones - NOT. Stick with windows mobile. At least MS makes on qualms about third party apps (free or not) and even helps hackers develop programs for it. When I had my cingular 8125, placed alot of freeware on it without any hassles. Also bought a few. Windows mobile allows anyone to sell their programs without having to go through apple where Steve gets a slice of the pie.
Stop being a bunch of cry babies!!!
