:roll: I would bet my family has owned 4 dozen DC products and we have never had a dud, ever. I myself have owned 8 without any problems that i haven't caused.


We had a plymouth reliant (what a name, heh) and a Dodge Aries K car. Both were huge pieces of dung.

And every person I know with Honda's of the same era are junkers too. Hell, every late model Civic I see is rusting to hell form the rear wheel well and is burning as much oil as gasoline, judging by the exhaust odor and color.

 
Stupid policy. The vehicle buying decisions I make outside of my job should have no influence as to how I'm treated at work.

If your products are good people will buy it, no need to be force fed.

I worked in the rental car industry for 6+ years. I think I have a little more experience with American junkmobiles than you or your family...or your entire town for that matter.

My experience > you and your family.


actually, your experience works against you.

sure, if you see 10,000 vehicles you are more likely to encounter lemons than someone who only encounters 25 vehicles of the same make.

however, in realy life, most of us never own more than 30 to 40 cars in our entire lifetime. and if i didn't get stuck with a lemon, guess what, the car is ok. it's fine.

Wrong, I was able to directly compare similar numbers and classes of cars from different manufacturers. Toyota, Ford, Dodge/Chrysler, Pontiac, Buick, and Chevy. Mostly compact, midsize and fullsize cars but I can tell you that the Toyota's were almost never in the shop for any reason while the American cars had a myriad of problems of different sorts.


Hmmm I wonder why we have 7 cars recommend by consumer reports then...

Cool, thanks for the clarification, I'll be sure to park in those convenient handicapped spots as I please since the constitution can't tell me otherwise.

You can look at it as rewarding those who support the company, instead of punishing those who don't. It's the same policy, either way.

Those "huge pieces of dung" nearly singlehandedly pulled Chrysler out of their grave. Somebody somewhere liked them, and allowed Chrysler to actually dig themselves out of a deep trench in the 80's

Uhhh.... EVERY car company is like this. Obviously you have no experience with this? I drive by GM, DCX, and VW offices all the time, and they are all like that.

Toyota, Honda, Nissan, and Hyundai aren't like that.


Do you have any proof? I can drive by VW tomorrow and take pics to prove, can you?

my friend works for lexus and drives a honda

Haha.

My friend works as a chief mechanic for Lexus and drives a BMW. They don't say anything either. He used up his Lexus discounts buying a Lexus for his parents which is why he doesn't own one.

Allow me to spell it out for you. Chrysler cars were utter crap in the 80s and barely slightly better in the early 90s. Chrysler only started producing cars that people actually wanted to buy in the '00s. Their quality is still suspect as far as I'm concerned and I know people who own Chrysler cars as late as '02 that are complete piles of crap.

You can buy one if you like but I for one am not so blind as to buy a POS just because I work for the company that makes the POS.

Only a complete fvcking moron would argue that we are not free to buy whatever car we happen to like and I would resent the hell out of any company that told me what I can and cannot spend my hard earned money on. Chrysler can go fvck themselves. :|
 
Im not even going to bother reading what anyone else said...because after I read this last line...I am speechless...words fail me....

"Drive what you build if you want your company to survive."


Anyone remember the news about how majority of the employees at the Richmond facility of Microsoft use iPods which are obviously made by MS's competitor Apple. But you dont see MS breaking those iPods or forcing them to listen to country music do you as a form of punishment for not supporting MS?! NO!...WTF is wrong with these people....geez.
 
I don't see anything wrong with giving people that drive Chrysler cars the closer parking spots. That's a perk, not a punishment.

I do see a problem with people talking about firing people, or turning over/damaging cars, etc. And what's this about being loyal to the company? Anyone that thinks there is any kind of loyalty from the top down in corporate America is only fooling himself. No company is going to be loyal to it's mid and lower level employees, they're just numbers. If you think otherwise, you're most likely in for a rude awakening at some point in your career.

If someone pays me, I will do a job and do it well. What I do outside of that job is my business. You will find no blind corporate loyalty in me.

Truly, you have a dizzying intellect.

Let's see. Body rust, or "Doesn't run, good for parts."

I'll take a rusty Honda any day.

Chrysler isn't telling anyone what they can and cannot buy. They are telling people where they can park if they aren't driving a company product.

Come on now, you can't honestly be that simple-minded, can you?

Dave is a damned idiot. Yes, he can be that simple-minded.

Hey, that's plain damn idiot thank you very much.

Whether I'm damned or not will be determined much later.
