Am. Auto Co. - What Time Warp Are They Living In?

Gee for 40 to 45 Grand you too can own this fabulous big ox, gas guzzling, Grand Cherokee SRT8. Wow! Zero to 60 MPH in a mere 5 seconds and a suck up of a gallon of gas I'm sure.

This big ass square box (and don't they all look the same anymore! Remember, bigger is better!) EPA numbers are 12 miles per gallon in the city and 15 on the highway.

And there is only a three year or 36,000 miles warranty! Lots of luck! Oh, I get it, it's only three years so they can slip in the extended warranty plan in the paper work without you realizing that it is part of the monthly payment.

It has 20 inch wheels with low to the ground stance so it hugs the road better and full time four wheel drive will assist in that area too.

The tester driver said that it felt solid. I think for 45 grand it should! Yes, 45 grand and about 90 bucks to fill the tank when gas reaches three bucks a gallon or more.

Just what is Chrysler trying to do? Go under? I wonder how many of these beauties (Not! It's nothing exceptional at all!) Chrysler thinks they will sell.

Tell me now! Are American auto makers just that arrogant? Do they want to fail? Why would anyone in their correct mind want to spend all that money on something that is on it's way out. Hasn't Chrysler read the papers lately?

Why just the other day I saw an article where consumers were beginning to get ride of the big ass vehicle for smaller autos that are much more fuel efficient.

I am so puzzled! But here is my theory: I believe that the American auto makers want to fail and lay off all of their union people. Shut down the plants and then come back building small, ecological, environmental correct, fuel efficient vehicles. Of course they will all be junk too like they have always been but it may take a long time before close minded, blind, living-in-make-believe Americans realize this.

So, I'm sure the American auto makers are more sly than stupid and have a terrific trick up their sleeves to make themselves and their stock holders much more money while sticking to traditionally ripping off the American public.

Buyer beware!
