    That's perfect - There's a strong possibility that Chrysler will be purchased by Fiat, and so there won't be any quality conflicts! It will be (bad) business as usual for all concerned.

    Well, in our neck of woods, there are some Zastava (e.g. Yugo) remnants too to count among bad cars. I've never viewed Vauxhalls (=Opels) as crap cars though... I've had an Opel for the last 3 years and I'm quite happy with it. Generally, when I was researching what to buy, Opels were among the more reliable cars.

    I think there are few generally "bad" cars on the market here right now... it mostly has to do with the car's age and how the previous owner(s) used it. There are lots of jokes about Alfa Romeos breaking down a lot as well...

    The AIG bonuses appear to have been four times higher than reported, or maybe five or six times - just wait a few months ...
    Hmm ... no I don't think so.

    Yep, only those that have the money do not need to hire a hitman, while those that want to usually do not have the money...

    Irony, you mangy dog of a female persuasion ;)
