Chrysler, Plastech resolve dispute
It looks as though production will continue at the four idled Pastech plants, thwarting the possibility that Chrysler would have to halt all of its assembly operations. Plastech and the Pentastar peeps were able to reach an agreement earlier today that allows production to resume during the second shift today.There's no word on whether or not the two companies reached an agreement about who owns the manufacturing equipment, something that's likely to be held up in court.

Off Topic, but i think Chrysler the brand should revive the Pentastar logo as opposed to the winged logo they currently have.

It's probably good for Chrysler. Now they wouldn't have easy access to the crap-grade plastic.

Even if Chrysler went to another supplier to make the components, CHRYSLER STILL SPECS THE "CRAP-GRADE" PLASTIC! It has nothing to do with the supplier of what type of plastic is used. Chrysler, Ford, GM, Toyota, Nissan all have there own spec, even the grain in the plastic is specified by the OEM.

I agree, its really up to Chrysler to specify what specs should be in the plastic they order, but fat chance they'll do that. I'm tired of crappy plastic interiors in nearly every American car I get into. How many times do they need to be hit in the head? THINK TOYOTA. COPY THEM.
And as far as bringing back the old logo, that would only work if it represented a good era for Chrysler, which it did not, at least not for the zillions of K-cars that also had that miserable logo. Start fresh and get serious about building quality cars or its all over.
