I mean, this is not their fault. Daimler chewed them up and spit them out, and Nardelli was just thrown into this mess not knowing what he was getting into. I don't think we can lay ANY blame on Nardelli for the current situation, because Chrysler was already FUBAR when he got there. Nardelli tried his best to polish a turd, but he still ended up holding a turd. A part of me feels for Chrysler and Nardelli. I mean, this is not their fault.

Mulally seemed like he has a bit of a brain (limited though), the other two are completely clueless! Like someone above said, lots of big words but no substance. Amazing.

He said: "...the kinds of cars and trucks they want to drive, have the confidence to drive and will tell their friends about." He's saying the Big 3 did not build - "Have you seen this Caliber thing?" - We built crap by cutting corners and slapping 'em together and blew our cred quicker than Spitzer. - Our cars became a pariah even our employees didn't want to admit driving.
