Great if they go under so will we.  They are our largest customer by far.  I sort of had the feeling they wouldn't last, but hearing other people say it too is not good.

See ya (maybe!),

That sucks. Hopefully they don't end up like Pontiac. Then the big wars will just be "Ford vs Chevy".

Chrysler going belly up would be a disaster.Could the big fall in sales be partly due to a large number of dealers being forced to close under the terms of the government bail out? Thats what I read in a recent article.

Man that bites. It seems  that they have just rolled over and died. Where are the fresh ideas, and new lines? No cutting edge technology. No innovation. No salesmanship. No new ideas. No leadership....No company!!

The end in sight?
No way. Over my dead body.
Just another doom and gloom article that does not know what is going on.
It's a very complex story of what is going on right now. I won't pretend to know all of what is going on, but what I do know, is there is a serious strategy session going on at work 7 days a week to try to get every detail ironed out for the future.
It's an even tougher situation because we have such a tiny workforce for such a gigantic load of product.
We are in the middle of a battle, and every person has two swords in each hand ;D. We are insanely busy, to say the least. We work overtime for free,  and give every ounce of effort to make the unachievable achievable. I can say that the new product is around the corner.

Pay no mind to the articles. I can't tell you how frustrating it is to see everyone on the outside make assumptions based on conjecture. It can really bring a man/woman down.
One thing that's nice about the article-
It's perfect for packing material. ;)

Well Dan, that's good to hear from a different perspective.  I hope they do make it, my job depends on it.  I hear ya on the overtime with no pay, it's been standard practice for awhile here.  But we're in survival mode also.

See ya,
