No. I recall wanting to read that book way back when it first came out. Never did get around to it. I imagine that is a good read. Since u reminded me I will have to put that one back on my future list. Isn't he the main one responsible for the creation of one of the greatest U.S. sports cars of all time.... the Ford Mustang?This is getting to be deja vu .. anyone read "Iacocca, an autobiography"?
Mercedes pillaged and destroyed Chrysler starting with the "merger of equals" in 1998 and completely ran what was a great company into the ground. Mercedes needed access to all the cash Chrysler had on hand and Chrysler was fighting off a hostile takeover from Kerkorian...set the stage for this disaster of a deal.
Exactly. He then got into a personality clash with Henry Ford Jr and joined an almost bankrupt Chrysler, turned it around. And meanwhile, Henry Ford Jr's greatest contribution to the car world was the Edsel, named for his son. Made the Pontiac Aztek look like a bestseller, to put it mildly - and as far as I remember, unlike the Edsel, no Aztek ever caught fire because the gas tank got alight when you rear ended it.No. I recall wanting to read that book way back when it first came out.

Suresh, production numbers for each were about even. Ford built 118,287 Edsels during its production life. GM built 119,000 Pontiac Azteks.Exactly.

Much appreciated. I last read that book sometime in the 1980s so clearly need to read it again.Consequently, John Delorean was asked to take over the General Manager position of Chevrolet because GM brass at the time did not think the
The Edsel was the namesake for Henry Ford II father, Edsel Ford.
No worries at all. FYI, by self admission, my first car was a used 1974 Chevy Vega GT with 4 speed and posi axle, that I bought from the original owner. I had to replace the passenger side front fender due to rust perforation and had to do a valve job at 60,xxx due to faulty seals which caused excess oil consumption. By this time in the Vega production history the aluminum block bore scoring issues had been mostly solved and it was a good car that served me well.Much appreciated.

instead we get a Rebadged Tonale in the Hornet.Chrysler's problem is that there is more profit if Stellantis designs and sells a Maserati vehicle instead.
So why spend money on Chrysler?
No one needs 2 luxury marques in the same portfolio, and the Maserati name is worth much much more for the same vehicle than Chrysler is.
Hell, even Alfa Romeo would be worth more if Chrysler sold a version of the Giulia or the Stelvio, and those are already being discounted decently.
No reason to keep Chrysler alive, honestly
And the Tonale is built off of a modified Jeep Renegade / Fiat 500X chassis.instead we get a Rebadged Tonale in the Hornet.
but the Current Grand Cherokee is based on the same platform as the Stelvio....
