(16,191 posts)I'll never buy another Chrysler because I've been burned by their low quality shitcars too many times. Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me. Fool me three times and I'm never buying their low quality crap again, no matter how much they claim to have "changed". Chrysler reminds me of an abusive ex-boyfriend trying to convince his girlfriend to get back with him. "I know I've screwed up, but I've changed! I swear!"
I'd buy a GM, but they have a knack for making the most unattractive cars I've ever seen. Beauty is subjective, and I know that many like them, but IMHO they need to fire their design staff and start over. They seem to have only two design modes: "Big, boxy, and frumpy", or "Aggressive dick compensators". The one car line that I did like (Saturn) was killed off. I was about to buy my daughter an Astra when the announcements came down about GM closing down the brand.
But my wife recently took a CMAX Energi for a spin and fell in love. We were going to trade her piece of garbage Dodge in for a Prius C, but a friend convinced her to stop by the Ford dealership (to show her the also-attractive Fusion), the showroom guy asked her if she'd looked at the CMAX, and it was love at first sit. So, apparently, we'll have another American car pretty soon after all.
