And when you advertise the HEMI, mention the fuel mileage... everyone thinks they get 10 miles to the gallon at best
The interior design and materials are great and the Hemi gets 26 mpg/hwy!
Chrysler has taken advantage of the hybrid system to expand the range of use of the MDS cylinder shut-off mechanism on the 5.7L Hemi V-8.
As for the hybrid drive system, transitions between electric drive, four cylinder and eight cylinder modes were completely seamless just as they were on the Tahoe. Unlike the four-cylinder hybrid systems that I've tried, the engine startup was imperceptible except for the muted sound of the Hemi.
Cal said:I don't know how many own Chrysler products, anyone can post anything on blog comments, but a quick read through and I only saw one that was happy about the deal......and he was UAW.
Steve said:I'm not happy with any of the democrat led Bail Out deals, and the ad was a waste of money.
but I felt that many of the comments against Chrysler were from people who don't own or will not own American cars or trucks, yet have no problem attacking their products.
Since I own a ford I cant comment? I am VERY upset at the bail out. I am even more upset they wasted money on the ad. I am sure the ad company made a good bit just from designing it :roll:but I felt that many of the comments against Chrysler were from people who don't own or will not own American cars or trucks, yet have no problem attacking their products

I've never driven anything but American made. A truck front end should last longer than 50K. I'll never be a customer again. It is not about mileage for me. It is about dragging loaded trailers through pastures.
Don't tell me about a Cummins being heavy either. Ford and Chevy diesels don't wreck the front end.
They can keep selling their trucks to city folks who never get off of the pavement.

it has been quite clear by the votes and speeches given by both sides. that it is a "Democrat led bail" out.. but they can't even seem to get their misguided policy through with an overwhelming majority.
Every time Bush has sided with the Democrats, I have disagreed with him..
so where does that put you? Do you follow those at the coffee shop, or follow the Democratic senators and congreaseman you voted for, or Obama who in speeches agreed with Bush... or do you stand with the conservatives and republicans and say the bail outs are a mistake..
The only thing I oppose on the bailouts is that they did not put much more restrictions and reservations on where the money could be spent-
and there is no accountability or transparency in how the money is being handed out or spent......

that was the Democratic leadership that made that bill.. Bush just rubberstamped it.. how did the democrats you voted for vote on that bill?

My Democrat Senators voted one for it ( I didn't vote for him)- the one I did, voted against it because he believed their was not enough oversight and regulation put on how Bush could dole it out to his FatCat elitist buddies...Which we now see is coming true...
Bush/Paulson/Cox/Greenspan now realize how terribly they mismanaged the economy (only Greenspan will admit it) and that things are much worse than they can, or probably should say (altho few folks have much confidence left in the Bush crew to lose anyway).....

Old Timer.. maybe you could explain this one for me.. if no one has confidence in Bush, and think he is so stupid.. why did a overwhelming majority of Democratic leadership in both houses (including Obama) follow his lead, not once, but twice on the bail out plans?

I didn't say Democratic leadership or Congressmen-- I said few folks have confidence in Bush- meaning Joe Blow of Mainstreet America...Few supported the Bush originated, Bush pushed plan...
And when did Congress vote for the Auto Bailout :???: Bush did that on his own without a Congressional vote.....

I didn't say the democratic leadership was competent enough to get a bill passed that they pushed hard to pass,.. I said why did they follow Bush's lead if Bush is so stupid?.. is the democratic leadership stupider then most folks?
here let me rephrase it for you..
it doesn't matter who you said but I will reword the question.. .

Because they became aware of how dire the times were- and realized they had been smoke screened by Bush and crew for months with their "the economy is fine", "the fundamentals of the economy are strong", "no problems exist" "everything is hunkydory" rhetoric-- and something had to be done quickly to keep the whole economy from imploding....That meant the Bush plan...
But the majority of the people across the country did not support it- and have no faith in GW being able to even wipe his own rear without messing that up too.....
Its plumb comical- how you Bush BKers won't admit that it was GW that came crawling to Congress for help- after his incompetence had let things get so bad....
