Dodge's Challenging hope for the future
Chrysler: Stuck in the past?In the short term, cars like the Dodge Challenger are Chrysler's hope for the future, a future where "old is new again". More important, "the Challenger is emblematic of the company's wider strategy of appealing to multiple audiences with the same vehicle," Chrysler CEO Bob Nardelli recently told the DetroitNews.
Hmmm. Isn't it time to kill the old way of doing things? I'm sure that some nostalgic baby boomers might be longing for their poser-hippie, Woodstock, guzzle-gas-without-a-care-in-the -world years, but isn't it time to grow up already?
Hasn't the Challenger, and its cohorts, caused enough foreign oil dependency and pollution for dozens of generations, let alone one? Maybe the younger generations should have a sit-in, our own anti-war movement, against the baby boomer establishment.

What do you expect Chrysler to do?
They can't just all of a sudden start making everything a hybrid now can they?
And your attack on baby-boomers is just uncalled for. Stop it.
There are plenty of baby boomers that are leading the fight against foreign oil dependency, just as there are young people buying stupid vehicles based upon materialistic reasons rather than reason.
Nonetheless, baby boomers do essentially run America today and for this generation that prides themselves on past activism, its disappointing that more baby boomers aren't still more active in such important issues.
Anon...
Why not attack them? They are the ones in power today...they are the ones who have put us in this complete utter mess.
Who should we attack then? Our 13 year olds playing Wii games? Is that who?
How about you say something like "They should instead take responsibility for the crap they've created...????" Just a suggestion.
No one in this country wants to step forward to take responsibility..but everyone here sure has a big mouth and self-righteous attitude about the rest of the world right?
Chrysler CAN stop building these stupid and retarded "muscle" cars. What the hell do we need a freaking 1960's Challenger in 2008???? Can you tell the logic? The point? The benefits?
If that's the best Chrysler can do, then it's best it simply ceases to function and exist. Let me ask...if your employee could only rehash old ideas in a brainstorming team session and couldn't produce any new and innovative ideas, would you keep him or her as a employee?
Probably not if you had any sense as an employer. So why are people giving these half-assed, backward thinking companies the pass to do the same?
