Chrysler News

Chrysler is one of four brands operated by Chrysler Group LLC, which emerged from Chapter 11 bankruptcy in June 2009. Ownership is currently shared between the U.S. and Canadian governments, a trust controlled by the United Auto Workers union and Italian automaker Fiat. Founded in 1925 by Walter P. Chrysler, Chrysler is the only one of the Detroit 3 automakers to have ever been controlled by a foreign company, the first being Daimler-Benz from 1998 to 2007 and now Fiat.

    1328545740

    The gritty Chrysler Super Bowl commercial starring Clint Eastwood may not have been as much of a shock – or as universally well-regarded – as last year's Eminem spot, but it's certainly going to have cube-dwellers trawling YouTube to catch another viewing.

    Report: Foreign auto companies irked by Obama snub at DC Auto Show
    1328281200

    On Tuesday, President Barack Obama visited the Washington Auto Show, and he even had time to get a closer look at a few vehicles. We're guessing that the carmakers were more than happy to set aside some time to talk to the Commander In Chief, but not every automaker got the chance.

    After the culture clash between the Americans at Chrysler and the Germans at Daimler during the bad old DCX days, there has been concern that the latest European occupation of Auburn Hills could lead to similar friction.
