Do you ever wish that you could bring your home television into your car? Well, Chrysler is already finding out a solution for the couch potatoes. They’re planning to make a minivan with a television inside.
No, it’s not just the ordinary television you’re thinking, wherein you could plug in your favorite DVDs and the like. This one’s satellite television. Yes, the kids’ favorite Disney Channel can be viewed inside the car. So, if you’re getting tired of calling your kids 5 to 6 times for them to get inside the car (going to Grandma’s place!), then the Chrysler minivan is the solution for you.

“Cannot Put GM and Chrysler back together again”, that’s the words that are coming out of the mouth’s of the Presidential Automotive task force. That may be a more realistic view of the whole picture for as we have been stressing over and over again, they’re not genies who just snap their fingers and the whole world gets better. They started out with optimism and they still have it in them, only this time round, they are a bit more realistic for they now know the full extent of the economic troubles that have led to the demise of the US auto industry.
The problem is that the whole deal is rotten, from housing, health and everything else in between are hit hard and no one authority, not even the Federal Reserve with all it’s gold and monetary resources can remedy the whole thing. The team is now leading efforts to restructure the auto giants and the figures don’t lie, one will have to go bust to give way to a better mix of the two auto giants that may make them better than the two individual units.

This is the time where the automotive industry is continuously seeking ways to remain competitive. If before increasing car sales through innovations and marketing strategies is the only thing that many carmakers concentrate on, now they are into more serious business strategies to remain afloat. Take for example the case of Chrysler.
According to Leftlane News, Chrysler has recently announced plans to convert its retail locations into stand-alone service centers to consolidate its dealership. Chrysler look at the idea with optimism saying the move is intended to keep its service at the highest level.
I find it strange that Chrysler has to resort to this kind of tactic if only to consolidate its dealership. Could it just be some kind of a cost-cutting effort? I wonder how the dealerships will react. Will they buy the idea or not?

Autoweek.com reports that March sales for cars have gone low by 12.0 percent to 1.36 million vehicles. Chrysler led the drop with a 19.4 percent plunge in sales, selling only 166,386 vehicles in March.
Several economic factors such as the rising prices of fuel, credit messes and low consumer confidence are seen as the culprit. Other American automaker decliners include General Motors and Ford at 18.7 percent and 14.1 percent, respectively.
The figures have spoken. Based on the data, there were more losers than winners. Is it a clear sign that the automotive industry has really been going down? Or is it just that a lot of people are using their money to more smart investments than the good old car?
