Wow, they are not helping themselves with internal bickering. I really enjoyed the avenger, the problem was the interior. That's going to really curtail sales of the challenger in my eyes also. People spend most their time inside their car, not watching other people drive it for them.

Hopefully it all works out. I can't say I'm happy about the "expanded engineering centers in China, India, Eastern Europe and Mexico."

Also interesting that Arnell is a "non car guy", appears to be a hangover from Home Depot days...

To lose a real car guy and especially a real company man over a bean counter makes no sense. That guy has a world of car experience and the bean counter is an over paid CPA. This is a bad omen.
