It wasn't something made by Chrysler in the 70s? I demand a recount.

That thing looks pretty bad. Then again a lot of Domestic Autos from that era were disgraceful and flat out awful.

It's astounding the Iacocca turned Chrysler around with the shit box K-Car.

Anything U.S. from the 70s probably qualifies.

I've had pretty good luck with Fords. Chrysler is what I'll never own again.

I bought the wife an Intrepid from the base lemon lot. I'd always been biased against Dodge/Chrysler due to hearing many complain about this or that. However, I came across what seemed like a screaming deal. Yea, the screaming deal was for the guy who sold it. About a year after I bought it, the engine began to smoke. I did my internet searching and discovered that's common for the 2.7 engine from Chrysler. Basically, the point for pulling the engine for an overhaul or replacement was around 85-90k. So, here's to Dodge/Chrysler.... :flipper: Never again for any pos Dodge/Chrysler. Always trust your instincts even when the car is a screaming deal.

My brother's Sebring Convertible is a beautiful LOOKING car. Too bad the waterpump leaked coolant into the oil and killed the motor. What a great setup!
Now it's laneway art, worthless, while he'l still making the payments and riding the bus.

Reliant is the first thing I thought of, too. I had a friend that had one.

The only Chrysler product we ever owned was 1994 Lebaron convertible we bought used for Becki. It was a rental car sale and was relatively OK but then we only kept it for a bout 2 years before we traded it on something else.
Based on all the horror stories from people I know, I would never buy another

My dad has owned a few Chrysler's.

One was a late 90's Dakota 4x4, 318 V8 5 speed, cool truck but it had suspension problems. Traded that one in on an 02 Ram 4x4 v8 auto. Devolved a trans issue around 50k and leaked water that would pool inside the door panel when it rained...dealership never figured it out.
