Answers
1)   nope,
no,
uhuh,
not really,
god no,
nizzope,
negative,
north by nope west,
no, (hand over heart) - AsYLum dRiVeR

2)   Only one I may miss is the Caravan.
The rest are junk.
Daimler saw to that.
Durango should be on that list too. - FleetTech

3)   The first answer is hilarious! I needed that laugh. I care to the extent that people may lose their livelihood as a result. If the company becomes healthy, they can always bring these vehicles back. Chevy stopped making the Camaro for a few, now its back on the block. It is just a sign of the times.

Best. - mark_hensley@sbcglobal.net

4)   You do realize that you just listed all the reasons why they couldn't make it without going into Bankruptcy. If only they could have been left an American company. - Amy m

5)   How would Chrysler announce it if Fiat is in control?
But thining the herd would hurt, but the mini van I dont think. and all the others maybe a new model or like I said thinning wouldnt hurt - rick b

6)   The Dodge Grand Caravan and the Dodge Caliber will be missed. But the Caravan was overpriced and the Caliber never reached it's potential. The PT Cruiser should have had a remake long ago; then it would perhaps be missed. - Charles

7)   you forgot the crossfire - movana

Question 2
will there ever be a car without tires?Tired of flats.?...  I know it was a theory in the sixties that man would become so advanced that future humans would have large heads and have cars like the jetsons so far it seems bleak.

Answers
1)   They do make high end no flat tires you know. But they are like $800-1K each. - jason

2)   I have been wondering where the heck my flying car is. Where's my jetpack? We were promised these years ago. - Mad Jack

3)   do a search on the TWEEL....and see what u come up with.....its already been invented but the high cost and replacement cost have kept it out of production......
but they are trying to make it fees able for future cars....

4)   They already had tires that can't go flat.

Back in the 1910's and 20's, the tires were solid rubber. - Vipassana

5)   technology is now focused on energy saving. they wana make hybrid and electric. no time to make fancy tires. - tj

6)   Watch what you buy they say right on the side tread wear, plies ect.
You have a softer riding tire softer compound lower tread wear ect. Your gonna be more prone to getting punctures then with a tire with a higher tread wear. They might ride rougher but that's the trade off.

I had a 96 ranger had goodyear RTS tires from the factory I was constantly getting punctures in them. When I switched to BFG ATs I never had but one puncture in them on 2 sets. Was driving the same places.
When you really notice the difference in tires is when you start fixing your own flats. You can buy plugs and plug them right on the car. get a little dish soap and water old windex bottle and watch for bubbles. pull your nail out then plug it. I was suprised at how easy the goodyear tires were to plug they were like paper. if it's that easy to get a plug in imagine how easy it would be for a screw or nail to puncture it.

Im not saying your still not gonna get a nail in a harder tire but you will not get no where near as many. - matt p

Question 3
Should I trade in my 2000 Honda Prelude, for an 2001 Chrysler Sebring Coupe?...  My Honda Is Giving me so many problems,
like the wiring (even the inside gauges and radio),
and suspension (tie rods)

Should i just fix those problems,
or get the Sebring
which has 10,000 less than my Prelude (84,000 miles)

-oh and i still need to buy an alarm for my Honda Prelude

Answers
1)   yes cristler will run on forever man - John

2)   No keep the Honda, just get it repaired or get a book and learn to fix some things, Hondas will run for 200,000 miles, The Chrysler will prob cost you more in the long run. - Roadrunnermike

3)   I wouldn't trade for a Sebring. It was #2 on the 10 worst cars list. So if I were you, I would try to find something better. - Jason K

4)   After retiring from Chrysler with 23 years, I can tell you that the Honda is a better car with all the things wrong with it at this time. I would definitely fix the Honda and drive it as opposed to the Sebring which wasn't that good a car from the start. Sebring coup is a Mitsubishi built car under the Chrysler/Mitsubishi partnership. The Sebring sedan is a Chrysler corporation built car and not much better. - Jackolantern

5)   I would not trade a horse for the Sebring Coupe (Mitsubishi mostly, sold under Chrysler). If you were talking about a Sebring sedan, I 'd consider. Keep looking. - C-Tech

Question 4
24s on a chrysler 300?...  i am thinking about putting 24s on my chrysler 300 it is a 2007 will the car mess up in any way with 24s will the tranmisiion mess up any help !!!

Answers
1)   http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20070810010315AAxXlbN - Nicole

2)   i dunno but i will tell you right now that any size rim over 20 inches on a car or truck looks really retarded, and nothing is worse for your car than low profile tires, one small bump can bend or dent your expensive rims - Reed O

3)   It won't mess up the trans but you will need to modify the suspension. You may be better off with a 20" or 22" rim or a professional installation with the right suspension mods. - C-Tech

4)   no. just no. dont do it. dont put 24s or 22s or 20s or anything above 18 on a car. they look terrible. way to ghetto. im not gonna say no offense to gangsters that have cars like that because iw ant to offend them. - Lilguy F

5)   one of the few cars that can pull off having bigger rims and still look great.

we're talking about a 300c not a 300m right?

if its a 300m, dont ruin your car, if its a 300c have at it

and to lil guy f, chrysler 300 srt 8's come with stock 20 inch rims. so dont say anything above 18 is retarded, srt8s are goregous with those big rims - David A

Question 5
I Want to know How bad is the Chrysler Pt Cruiser?...  I think that chrysler is a really bad brand but i wanna know what you think

Answers
1)   No sub-frame, poor suspension, poor handling, and rough ride. Low on power and don't cornor good, and the list goes on, also hard to work on. - wampaskitty2001

2)   it depends on how much you paid for it , 500 $ killer 15,000$ not so good ! - alex

3)   I rented one once for a cross country trip and only got 24 mpg, not so good for a small 4 cylinder vehicle... - SVOMAN

4)   im offended that you think chrysler is a bad brand. i know somebody who owns a chrysler pt cruiser. i have driven it and i like it.

it woudlnt be my first choice for a car but its not bad. it seems to go fairly easy even if it lacks power, cornering isnt so bad (it actually corners better then my 2003 nissan altima), but for a 4 cylinder the fuel economy sucks (only 24 mpg highway, thats pathetic)

a pt cruiser is basically a modern chrysler k car, its just basic transportation. and to be honest, id rather have a 1988 chrysler k car then a 2007 pt cruiser - David A

5)   Cons:
No sub-frame, poor suspension, poor reliability, rough ride, low on power and doesn't handle well, hard to work on.

Pros:
I'm thinking, I'm thinking....it's kind of cute in an ugly sort of way? - DN
