I fear that the only reason GM would buy Chrysler would be to close it down and get rid of the competition. They might keep Jeep, since they don't have anything in that class that sells like Jeep does, and maybe Chrysler's mini-vans, which have always been the class leaders. I guess GM's Astro never sold as well as expected because it was actually a truck van, not a usable stationwagon, which is what Chrysler always sold. I can tell you from about 500,000 miles of experience, if you wanted a van that took the road space of a Horizon, but carried 8, and towed a 5,000 lb trailer, Astro was all there was. Aerostar was noisy, anemic, and blew around in the wind like an old fashioned VW Bug. Plymouth Voyager didn't make much noise, but it wouldn't go, either, and did rock in the wind, but pretty well went where you aimed it. The Astro was rock solid in the wind, had 1 1/2 times the engine, and a rated towing capacity of 5,000 lbs, which I routinely exceeded. ----------------- http://www.imperialclub.com ----------------- This message was sent to you by the Imperial Mailing List.
