"#1 Lithous: Why would import fans want to buy Chrysler? They already have Toyota, which makes more profit than the entire big 3 combined..."

American import fanboys own Toyota? Wow, I didn't know that.

I guess you don't get it on so many levels. That is why it is more of a joke than reality what I propose.

1. It is 5000 times easier to win awards for writing, Dan Neil, than it is to run a car company. If it wasn't, and you are so into cars, your name would pop up as someone who wants to get in on the ownership NO MATTER WHAT IT TAKES. But you won't even try BECAUSE YOU WILL FAIL.

2. Old school America would call out such puntas (like Neil, Farrago and the rest) for being all talk and no action. Modern America just accepts it. Farrago and Frank (Farrago's companion) couldn't run a car company like Chrysler if Gates, Buffet and every Japanese exec. gave them free advice for a year. They are destructive and they take the easy way out whenever possible. If you don't believe me, look at the low class and utterly stupid merchandise for sale at TheLiesAboutCars. Cooter from Dukes of Hazard would be embarrased to wear a hat with a toy license plate on the front. My god, that is sick to think they thought that whole license plate merchandise is worthy of any sales.

3. If you think that allowing Japanese companies to put Trojan Horse factories in America at a time when they make 50% of their world PROFITS from U.S. sales is great for America in the long term while they add 2000 jobs Ford takes away 10000 (not because things are booming and they are incredible dicks)

Gee, for some reason people do look at GM's revenues and call it a victory every year, no, they look at profit. Why? Simple. It is the smart way to figure out a company's strength. Yet, we keep hearing that the Japanese are creating jobs here. I.E. stop looking at what is "added" but the net number of automotive jobs since the Japanese came over here.

I will never post on another automotive site if Farrago, Neil and Nader put together a package and bought Chrysler and made more profit than Toyota in 10 years.

One has to think these guys love cars or are concerned about them very much for one reason or another. Here is their chance. It doesn't come along very often (the last sale of Chrysler was not at nearly the bargain price this time is going to show).

PLEASE PUT UP OR SHUT UP.

#5 doesn't understand or doesn't want to, the things I am writing about. Most of you understand exactly what I am talking about. I am tired of the Terrel Owens crapola displayed by Americans in the car industry. Here is your chance to show everyone how right you import fanboys are, buy Chrysler and show us.

You would do better replacing Bret Favre in his job than successfully running GM, Ford or Chrysler. And you would do the prior job poorly too, don't get me wrong.

#5 is delusional. He thinks because he can buy a Toyota that *he* accomplished something in the auto industry. He doesn't get it at all.

No. Bad mouthing the U.S. domestic car companies and having a (theoretically) real chance (at bargain price) to own a car company and prove how you really knew the right way to do it is not the same as going down the street and buying a Toyota (or German car like the LiesAboutCars guys like to do) to show Detroit how it is done. No, not the same thing. Sorry.
