What if Number isn't going up but dollar is going down and it just looks that way because everyone's desperately trying to convert dollar into number as fast as they can?

But if all dollars have become number then there are less dollars, meaning each dollar would be worth more.

Dollars are UP. Number is UP.

Chrysler has been complete garbage for longer than anyone on this forum has been alive, it's really impressive.

They were a forward looking innovative brand in the 30s and 40s and it's been all downhill since.

You can see this in their electrical systems because they're pretty much the remaining company that uses in-line fusible links in their ignition circuitry anymore.

Nothing like spending two days trying to figure out why your battery won't hold a charge, only to find it's because of a part everyone else stopped using ages ago.

I bought a new Challenger in 2015 and it had to go back to the dealer for lots of interior rattles and stuff falling apart. the soft touch stuff started delaminating before it was 2 years old so it was sold before the warranty ended and that will be the last Mopar I own.

Iacocca had them back in the mix in the 80's briefly. Otherwise the only good brand they have is Jeep.

I knew a guy who sold them new and he said that the training heavily emphasizes selling the 'sizzle' of the car and leaving the actual car out of it as much as possible. lol

its extremely smart, as an automaker, to literally not have a introductory vehicle. Literally all of us at ford were losing our poo poo when the announcement was made that ford was leaving the sedan business. The fusion sells (sold) great and was a very popular car, so was the focus before the DPS6 transmission fiasco. young people do not buy 45K cars. You need something cheap and accessible to build a relationship with the driver, because if you succeed there, often people will literally swear by a carmaker for life. ford is so loving stupid its astounding.

My wife and I have between us, bought 4 new Fords. 3 of them were models that no longer exist, and we're really unlikely to ever end up going back to Ford.

I bought a stripped down base model Subaru Outback in 2014 that was the most reliable automobile I've ever owned and made me a Subaru buyer for life.

Subaru is also a full range automaker, you can buy a $55K Outback or a $25K Outback and I gather most automakers don't do that anymore.

You can buy a $30k F150 or a $85k F150, that's a full range. Mustangs and Camaros and such also range from $25k-$80k. Ford just stopped selling cheap cars, they still offer really expensive vehicles.
