Re: Fortune Mag:Backlash Begins
Actually, I do think the Viper past Gen 1 was a waste of r&d dollars. Chrysler has always been known as the best design shop, but one of the worst in quality. Keep in mind no one forecasted oil at its existing price.
The prius is not a halo car, but it gets people in the showroom. People are excited about the volt. What is Chrysler's plan?
Now in reference to your short sighted comments about foreigners. Can you name the country that we get the most oil from? Those damm Canadians. Darn donut eating, beer drinking bastards.
Before you run on about foreign oil, you need to become more familiar with how energy is produced. Just like oil sands don't make sense with oil below $50, off shore may actually require more energy to refine and ship then actually creates.
The problem is not production. The problem is refining. Production is at a 5 year high, refining is at a 30 year constant. The first US refinery just got approved in South Dakota in 30 YEARS. That has nothing to do with political views, but it takes 10 years at least to start to begin to get a ROI on a refinery. Thats a very long-term return that most businesses don't want to take on.
