Detroit: a chaos?

Read this: "Joe Eberhardt becomes the latest departure from the U.S. division of DaimlerChrysler".

Another victim of the chaotic situation of Detroit. GM is trying to survive. Ford is in deep hole. Chrysler is a black hole. What the Germans of Daimler - Chrysler will do about this?
  • a year of lower sales at the automaker, which has seen a decline of more than 7 percent so far in 2006.
  • Chrysler is also trying to recover from a $1.5 billion loss in the third quarter.
  • Chrysler also has about 50,000 vehicles in its "sales bank" - previously undisclosed parking lots full of vehicles unassigned to any dealers.
  • Gary Dilts, who reported to Eberhardt as senior vice president of U.S. sales, and Raymond Fisher, former vice president of sales, service and parts, announced their retirements in June. Marketing executives Jeff Bell and Julie Roehm also resigned earlier this year.

The Asia, especially the Japanese and Koreans guys are the winners, for now!
