Re: Chrysler pentastar returns

Well although I'm new here and new to Cadillacs in general (hell, this is only my second car from the General) I thought I had to chime in. First of all, the Pentastar is the corporate logo, the Chrysler division will retain the winged badge.

My entire life I've always been a Mopar man, I still own two and will always have at least one in my possession until the day I die. I've never understood why people like to bash Chrysler. We still have our '97 Sebring convertible that we bought new. Although it's been relegated to weekend duty during the summertime, we've only ever had to replace a tierod end in 85,000 miles. Even after ten years it is still one really good looking car. We also have our '89 Jeep Grand Wagoneer which I have owned for the past 13 years. It has 120,000 miles on it's 360 and the old gal barely feels broken in. Two of the four most dependable engines ever made came from Chrysler/AMC - the 5.9L V8 and the 4.0L straight six (the other two of course being the General's 3.8 and 5.7). A CJ-8 was my first car ever and I wish I never got rid of her. I've owned two Cherokees and each had over 200,000 miles when I got rid of them. My brother still has one of them with... wait for it... 302,000 miles, original motor and tranny. I also had a 300M which was my daily driver from 2000-2004, and then was my wife's dd from 04-last week, we gave it to my mom with 79,000 miles with never a single thing gone wrong with it.

Just remember, Chrysler was waaayyy ahead of both GM and Ford back in the 90's and would have continued putting out great cars if it weren't for those damn germans. Although I suppose if it weren't for the whole Diamler nonsense I probably never would have bought my Seville... but still Chrysler has never done me or a lot of other people for that matter, wrong. So quit the bashing, especially if you've never owned one... or six.
