Chrystler thanks America!


And they spent nearly half a million dollars to do it by taking out two full page ads in the Wall Street Journal and USA Today.  no.gif

Seriously?  We cut them a big fat government check and they immediately spend half a million to say thanks?

For craps sake!  You want to thank us?  How about running your business responsibly so we don't have to bail your a**es out again in six months!

Nice of them to say thanks, but I'd think they could have done it on a little smaller scale. hmm.gif

Common sense really does escape these people.

It's honestly like they just don't have a clue isn't it?

They apparently have no PR skills whatsoever. You would think after the whole "arriving in DC on three separate private jets" flap they'd be hyper-sensitive to how their actions may appear to the public.

I still say one, maybe two of them are gone before the end of 2009.

Little doubt some of those guys will be out of jobs. I think they are just having real issues accepting the fact that things have got to be done differently. The days of the 2 page PR ad are long since gone.

That's what I keep thinking Mema. They keep making me think of the record companies and how they clung to the old business models.

You just get the feeling that the people who run Detroit don't have a clue how to adapt to the new market conditions.

I'm certainly not rooting against them. I hope they get their act together and become a real success story, but I have almost zero confidence they will.

They also put ads in the New York Times, Washington Post, and Atlanta Journal-Constitution. I saw one independent estimate of what all the thank you ads they placed cost guess that it was around $675,000. no.gif

I think they're TRYING to go out of business.

I got some ridiculous ad in the mail today with one of those phony car keys saying that I might be able to start a car with it. Yeah... RIIIIIIGHT. Also assuring me I can buy a fabulous new Pontiac for no money down and $134 per month. AND I'm already guaranteed to have won one of 5 prizes...
