Boy Ontario is getting hit hard with all the automobile industry layoffs.

But don't blame it on the unions dammit, they had nothing to do with it.

I think I was one of the rare few that actually liked the Crossfire.

I've been tempted to bring one up from the US.

Thank god the PT Cruiser convertible is gone. That thing was an embarrasment. I've never seen an automaker actually just chop the top off and not at least try to make aesthetic allowances

Pacifica - I actually liked it when I rented one by accident. But it's appeal is very limited.

Crossfire - Rebadge old SLK. Now the relationship is cut, may as well kill it. It's ugly anyway.

PT Crusier - Thank god. Why is this piece is still on the road and people are buying it.

Magnum - The only one I'm sad to see it go.


Well, sounds like high loonie has claimed the first casualty.

Wow, I never even knew they still made that thing. I bet you can get a 2006 with 0kms for $12k now.

Then you and the 3 other guys who bought it can start a club!

I keed, I keed....

i wonder how many more hits the auto industry in ontario is going to take.
loonie slipped a little today, but it doesn't look like it's going to slow down soon

Brutal. I know a few people out here who aren't very happy at the moment...

[Pahnda]

Too bad they didn't just phase out all of Dodge instead. Seriously, I don't know anyone that likes dodge except for someone from a cattle farm. :\

This likely has more to do with a revised business plan with the new owners then the dollar..

[BerserkerCatSplat]

I suspect this has more to do with hurting the union than anything else.

all 4 of those models suck, especially the magnum i hate that thing it's hideous.
