Hyundai-Chrysler, doesn't have the same ring to it that Daimler-
Chrysler does.

Why would they call it Hyundai-Chrysler ? I bet it will be called Hyundai.
I sure hope they don't rename my favorite building in NY
to the Hyundai building )

the last Chrysler product I owned was a 1985 Plymouth Reliant. Worst piece
of crap I ever owned. Never again! had four other Plymouths before that
that were marginally OK!

I also wondered why Hyundai would want anything to do with an albatross like
Chrysler.

But the article makes it clear that Hyundai's aim is their"coveted" dealer
network.

Actually, I can see that, as long as Hyundai doesn't get the misconception
there is anything else worth having in that company.

Great marketing coup, actually. Not only would they have access to the dealer
network but they would also change the misconceptions among those uneducated
about Hyundai cars, that Hyundai must be doing something right if they can
take over one of the so-called "Big Three" of US automaking ...

You are quite wrong here. Chrysler still has strong engineering and
design capability. Their main lack over the years has been in
manufacturing/assembly, an area where the Koreans have been fairly
strong in the last couple of decades. I think this could be a very
strong marriage done properly.

It would be interesting. I've never owned a Chrysler car but they did have
many good engineering breakthroughs over the years. I never cared for their
styling and the crappy assembly. Maybe this is what they need to get back
on track. Or maybe finally on track.

Chrysler does very well in the mini-van market, maybe someone wants
that.
