Mopar is the parts division of Chrysler. Selling off Mopar means Chrysler will no longer be selling parts for its own cars and trucks. Makes no sense. It was German bashing. Seems some are getting into Cerberus bashing.

Keep in mind that the new CEO of Chrysler LLC is the same guy fired from Home Depot because he destroyed the brand (and the share price) through endless cutbacks in customer service and employee benefits, as well as selling factory 2nds as premium merchandise. Here's that notice: Chrysler LLC has proposed selling or closing two units, according to a The Wall Street Journal article that cites contract talks between Chrysler and the United Auto Workers union. The units are Mopar, which makes auto parts, and Chrysler Transport, which manages deliveries of supplies to the carmaker's plants. Together, they employ around 1,300 people. Cerberus Capital Management recently acquired an 80% stake in Chrysler, with former parent Daimler retaining 20 percent. www.chrysler.com Greg Robertson '55 Plymouth Savoy On Aug 30, 2007, at 10:09 AM, Wayne Graefen wrote: http://www.classiccar.com/wordpress/ ************************************************************* To unsubscribe or set your subscription options, please go to http://lists.psu.edu/cgi-bin/wa?SUBED1=l-forwardlook&A=1
