I guess a DSM revival is probably not in the cards at this point although they are still going to be contracting out Chrysler's small and sedans to someone. The Chrysler-Mazda merger is still possible, and just getting Mazda to make all of Chrysler's small and midsize sedans would be a good fit. The other solution would be to contract out their sedan production to VW in TN.

Leaked to Ghosn by the Mitsubishi CEO so he could short the stock. Not sure where the lizard people come in yet.

Anecdotes ahoy:

Our local dodge dealer is the only of the big manufacturers dealers that doesn't even try to get people to pay near MSRP for their trucks and stuff.

Before I knew about the insane profit margins of the pickup industry I was astonished that the dodge dealers were selling new Rams for almost $10k off MSRP. I don't think they're ever not on "dealer must sell" sales.

Go to the local ford/chevy/nissan/toyota dealers website and all their trucks are listed pretty much at MSRP.

That's because Canadians are cheap and so are Chryslers.

That just made me realize, Mazda is a lot closer to a compact RWD sedan than I'd thought. Stretch a Miata and add a second pair of doors and a hard top and they're done.

The new 2.0 turbo 4 from Chrysler dubbed "hurricane" is supposed to make close to 300 hp and would make a great power plant for whatever lightweight srt vehicle they should be cooking up.

Mitsubishi already was rebadging several Nissans so this makes sense. In addition, maybe the decade-old Lancer will finally be replaced.

I dont think they can afford to develop it. Rumor has it they're delaying even Jeep models due to lack of funds and the focus on launching Alfa Romeo. Jeep, the only consistently profitable brand besides Ram trucks
