it will be a sad, sad day when the Viper goes away... because that will leave Chrysler with only the Challenger as a "halo" car... and I believe we all know that that isn't going to last... I mean, the original Challenger didn't even last very long

bottom line: the Viper gives Chrysler car that kids can dream about... ask Toyota what its like not to have a car like that... they're making all kinds of money and their sales have never been better... but they're missing something... and that something is a car that kids can dream about... mark my words: in 10 years, if Toyota doesn't get another Supra type of car, people will be calling them the Buick of the Japanese car companies... even Honda has a halo car

bad idea, Nardelli... when you're in the market to sell a $80k car, you can't get mad when the numbers are down... you have to accept that the numbers will be only as good as the market can handle.
