Chrysler needs to include "clean" technology to its fleet. They had a diesel Liberty (Jeep) that sold out but was not renewed because it could not meet new specs. on clean diesel technology.The automaker is mired as a whole with gas guzzling SUV's, minivans, and trucks. Chrysler cars have lost much of their avantgarde styling (from the '90's) and have had reliability issues. The only homerun has been the 300C. Note to automakers, you can continue to make SUV's and other profitable vehicles only when you have the option of "clean" technology (i.e. diesels, hybrids,etc). Otherwise, these money pits will languish on the dealer lots.

That is great news. Simply by having a vehicle that will stop the motor when the car is parked would help. Maybe the new owner's will help lead the company in the right directiion.

This is yet another Chrysler scam. It unbelieveble how wicked these folks are.

They produce guzzlers, but, hey, i'm clean, so i offer you a guzzler with an electric motor.

The real Green company would say:
i'll replace every 20mls/gallon car for a 40mls/gallon car.

So another BS-bingo from a company that has no right to exist.

Hey,

Chyrstler has every right to make whatever kind of car it wants. To play devils advocate, there are no real regulations that say Chrystler has to make fuel efficient vehicles, just not terrible pollution makers. Its up to the consumer to decide whether driving around a car with the looks of the 300C is worth paying a large amount in gas for. Obviously people can justify in their heads the cost.

Chrystler knows though that taking advantage the new "Green Revolution" atmosphere in the auto industry is a way to boost sales. Chrystler doesn't really car about the environment (I know I work in the auto industry) its just a way to sell cars and if people are dumb enough to fall for this ploy then good for Chrystler.

Of all the auto parts companies that we supply to, Chrystler, BMW and Benz are the least concerned about using recyclable plastics in their manufacturing process. All others including, Toyota, Ford and GM use easily recyclable relatively untoxic plastics while Chrystler still uses a plastic formed using asbestos...

Will you be producing a Jeep Grand Cherokee Hybrid? I am interested in replacing my 1999 Jeep Grand Cherokee with a hybrid SUV. I just love my Jeep. No way I can choose another vehicle that is not a hybrid. Thanks!

We found an interesting article about the problems with Ethanol on ConsumerReports.org:

http://blogs.consumerreports.org/cars/2008/03/ethanol-e85.html

"But there are some problems with increasing ethanol blends. Ethanol contains less energy than gasoline, so increasing the amount of ethanol in gasoline will likely result in lower fuel economy. Increasing standard fuel blends from zero to 10 percent ethanol, as is happening today, has little or no impact on fuel economy. In tests, the differences occur within the margin of error, about 0.5 percent. Further increasing ethanol levels to 20 percent reduces fuel economy between 1 and 3 percent, according to testing by the DOE and General Motors. Evaluations are underway to determine if E20 will burn effectively in today's engines without impacting reliability and longevity, and also assessing potential impact on fuel economy."
