Where did you get that information? Did you ever drive a Chrysler or even own one?
no, but i am a very resentful guy, who grew up as a car-crazy child in the 70ies and 80ies. from that times i still associate chrysler with the french chrysler-simca-junk. i remember my class-mates in the late 80ies -in the 80ies, until the wall to the gdr felt down, it was cool for younger people to drive an older, stylish car, not a modern corsa, polo or fiesta-, whose had a chrysler simca horizon and the other a chrysler simca 1308. very 70ies-style, but unbelievable worse quality.
yes, the us-company chrysler was something different, but they had their own quality-problems. in the time, when the legendary lee iacocca was the chrysler-boss (and after amc broke down), chrysler was known as the us-car-company with the less reliable cars.
the styling of the majority of the us-cars of the 80ies and 90ies was worse imho, worse than the most european cars, and chrysler was not better. the k-car-series belonged to the biggest horror.
as i wrote, i am very resentful. i dislike chrysler for many reasons, but there is just one little thing, which causes my real disgust about the chrysler-company: http://imcdb.org/vehicle_90785-Dodge-600-1986.html
this overwhelmingly impudence
i don't like ford either, mainly for two reasons, even if they had happend years ago: the wrecking-option of ford germany in the mid-90ies, where they paid money, if you gave them an older car for crushing, when you bought a new ford - because they really crushes all incoming cars, all. no chance to pick up any of these cars. really nice oldies were wrecked there.
so this is the main reason for me, that a ford will never come into my house. if my wife should by a ford for her own, i will throw the car our of the garage. no ford in my garage.
the other reason to hate ford was the tv-spot of the ford puma. what an impudence to combinate it with scence with steve mcqueens mustang fastback of the bullitt-movie.
ths mustang fastback is the only us-ford, which i like. the granada mk2 2.8 ghia would be the only european one, which would be acceptable for me.
