Is Detroit adjusting to $3 a gallon gasoline?

Well, lets see here. Just picked up the mail and we have a flyer from Crosstown Chrysler/Dodge/Jeep, "Model Year-End Closeout". On the cover we have a pair of full size crew cab pickups, 4.7L Magnum V8 or a 6.7L Cummins turbo-diesel. Thrifty those are. Open the flyer up and we have another pickup truck, an SUV, a crossover SUV, another SUV. Finally we get down to a four passenger sedan. For extra fuel economy it's got a slush box and factory air. You need that air conditioning up here in northern NH. At the bottom of the page we have a Chrysler 300, with a hemi (you NEED a hemi to get to work) . MSRP on the 300 is $41850 , the same as a new Cadillac DeVille. Dreams of glory by the Mopar suits, our luxury sedan is as prestigious as a Cadillac.
Looks like the same line of gas hogs they were selling before Katrina pushed up gasoline prices.
No wonder Daimler dumped Chrysler.
