Is the Viper still being built?

Come to think of it, does Dodge still exist? All I saw at my local Dodge dealer today were Fiats.

I'm 20/10 with my contacts. Guess I'm just seeing too far ahead.

Seriously, though, the obvious answer right now is Ford over Dodge. Things change fast, though. Just five years ago, Dodge was tops among the Big 3, at least from a business/profitability point of view, and Ford seemed to be in the most trouble. Anyone want to predict what 2015 will look like?

I voted Ford, assuming you meant current lineup.

Overall through the years, I'd still go Ford, but my top two cars only using those companies would both be Dodge.

yea that's what happens when you make bad business decisions and then rely on other people (daimler, cerberus) to help you out. And in turn chrysler got even more screwed by the guys who were suppose to help them. I think from a non-bias standpoint that they will bounce back. but not to the point that they once were. they will still be 3rd amongst the 3 but profitable.

Actually, I've heard Chrysler is/will be getting most of its engines from Hyundai. (not joking).

Apparently, this engine alliance has ended recently, but for the mean time, this is where the engineering of Chrysler's 4-cyl engines came from.

Actually chrysler for a number of years, has been using mitsubishi engines and their cars.

SORRY IF YOUR A MOPAR FAN
