You're not alone, about the folks of AT&T moving to GM and Akerson's moves. Compare to him, Carlos Ghosn (despite he's a lookalike Mr. Bean) and Sergio Marchionne are genius!

+1, I'd be tempted to check the Fiat 500 or if only Renault-Nissan bring the Dacia Logan aka Nissan Aprio in Mexico.

I wish for a Lincoln Mark IX too and RWD sedans. But the Fusion and MKZ could use that plant at full capacity.

Thanks for the tip :-)

Yes, but for 1960, DeSoto switched to the Dodge Dart body. Picture from [www.motorbase.com] and some other pics at http://www.philseed.com/desoto1960.htm…

Checker only got the Chevrolet drivetrains and transmissions in the mid-1960s, before that they used Continental engines.

There even some woman who want a piece of this!.

+1, I said to Akerson, what kind of cigarette you smoked? Marchionne and even Ghosn seems to have more brains then him.

@Brett Powers, there was also an earlier Capri from Europe, in the 1970s sold via the Mercury-Lincoln dealers [ateupwithmotor.com] and before that, the 1950s Lincoln Capri (and in the 1960s, a trim applied to the Comet line).

The frond end of the Dart was more well designed then the "senior" line: Polara and Monaco (I think then Dodge should had kept Coronet and Custom Royal monikers, although the Coronet nameplate returned for 1965) and the Dart helped Dodge after the disastrous sales of 1958-59 of the Eisenhower recession but at the…

Some cotender would be a Dodge Challenger going to some "Vanishing Point". Picture from [the-smoking-pen.blogspot.com]

No one mentionned the "Bluesmobile" yet. ;-)

Maybe they beginned to sold the 1985 model earlier in '84 I guess.

A bit off-topic but I spotted this Autocar article who mentionned then the FT-86 in other markets will be called.....Celica!!! WTF?! [www.autocar.co.uk]

It'll be more difficult then before, with Hyundai-Kia doing lots of improvements in their line-ups. Even VW begins to attract some customers.

Image of the day! :-)

And let's add more on the table with an exterpt of this week AutoExtremist's rant posted by Peter DeLorenzo [www.autoextremist.com] here the exterpt then I quoted.

Or GNR (GM-Nissan-Renault unless it's GRN/GM-Renault-Nissan), it's like it's 2006 again with the Big alliance project between them from what I read on these archived articles at [knowledge.wharton.upenn.edu] and on MSNBC and this old rant on Allpar weblog.="http:>

I think I'll stick only to old K-Tel records ;-)

The more BMW wants to widen their line-up, the more they want to offer it to everyone..... even if Mini is a separate brand. I fell a dilution of the BMW brand just like Packard faced a long while ago. [ateupwithmotor.com]
