My thoughts:

Chrysler: Kill the Aspen, Pacifica, Sebring. Then build Pablo's Imperial CTS slayer. build all new Sebring that doesn't look like something out of AMC's mid 60's design studio.

Dodge: Kill the Nitro. Bring the Durango and Dakota down in size a bit no matter what the focus groups say. redesign the Avenger and Charger. Build a neon replacement. You can't kill the Durango and Dakota, they sell too well around here.

Jeep: Kill the 2 obvious suspects. Keep the Patriot. Keep the rest. Build new smaller V8 powered CJ7 sized off roader, the JK is a little on the big side. Build the Wrangler JT. Redesign the Libby again and bring it back to it's original specs if not appearance.

Plymouth: Bring it back!!!!!! With focus on MPG and/or basic transportation. Throw in a performance car (Road Runner?).

Engines: Stay away from hybrids and ethanol, and focus on squeezing more MPG from it's engine line-up. Ethanol is nothing more than a political vote-buying effort by the idiots running for Pres. and it's driving up food prices as well.

If by that you mean XJ Cherokee, you'd be half right. the KJ replaced the XJ. the Commander was just an idiot brainfart on the part of DC to see how much money they could spend on chromed plastic.

The Grand Cherokee replaced the "ORIGINAL" (see pic below) Cherokee/Grand Wagoneer. the Commander has no place in the Jeep lineup. it has poorly utilized space, and what space is there is NO MORE usable room than a KK.

I'd rather see the Grand Cherokee go, and keep the Commander. Grands are too car-like for my taste, not rugged enough.

Bye bye, Compass!

Jeep should offer those buyers and lessees a rebate or credit like Apple did to all those people who page $600 for their iPhones. If I'd bought a Compass, I'd be pissed. There will be NO resale value.
