I've always found a way to make my way, and now I've had the fortune of being hired by a great company - Chrysler Corporation - one of the original Big Three.

It was emotional when Chrysler sold out to the Germans.

Chrysler invented rebates, I'm sorry to say. I didn't have anything to do with that. A lot of flaky deals were made in order to give the customer enough cash for a down payment.

I guess I invented extended warranties, because that's all we had to sell at Chrysler in those days.

We started the week with the dedication of the Bob Hope Chrysler Classic Medical Building in our honor on the campus of the Eisenhower Medical Center, and we are thrilled to be ending the week with the announcement of a continuation of our 42-year relationship with Chrysler during which we have raised nearly $42 million for charity in our community. We look forward to an exciting future with our title sponsor, Chrysler, which is and continues to be the longest running sponsor-tournament relationship on the PGA TOUR.

What's kind of neat is they're honoring Walter Chrysler with this and we're honoring Henry Ford, two former pioneers. We're trying to inspire the pioneers of today.

The reality is we have to keep all our options open. I would love to say that Chrysler will be the sponsor for the next 20 years, but that's living in a fantasy world.

The products built in the factories of G.M., Ford and Chrysler are some of the greatest weapons of mass destruction responsible for global warming and the melting of our polar icecaps.

The Great American Package is further proof of our commitment to provide a vehicle with elegant design, inspired engineering and exceptional value.

Mac is what I call the new Chrysler Corporation, ... You may have watched him in the Senate (race). He is nothing like that. He has put together a team. He is totally focused on being a challenger, working hard, raising money and being out there everyday.

Lots of shine for evening, ... lots of ornamentation (with) a lot of Art Deco-sort-of-feeling to it because, again, I think this collection really is New York. So, automatically to me, it's the Chrysler Building.

Obviously the market likes the Chrysler deal, ... But this doesn't have to cause a cascade of other mergers.

I was stunned. It was a complete takeover. Chrysler had $12 billion in cash and was stronger at the time and should have bought Daimler.

I have decided in 1996 that the Chrysler workers will lead the bargaining,

Based on the strength of the product we've got there now, we expect to set a full-year record within the Chrysler brands and should gain market share as we go forward, ... It's pretty clear at this point that 1999 calendar year will be a record automotive year in the U.S.

There is fairly little overlap between Chrysler and Mercedes. In the U.S, Chrysler's product line pretty much tops out at $30,000. That's where Mercedes begins. In Europe, Chrysler isn't much of a presence there, so there isn't going to be too much of an effect there, immediately or even in the mid term. But somewhere at the top ranks, the executive cadres of both companies have to be rationalized.

Under his stewardship the icon that was Mercedes-Benz has been devalued. There has been a loss of fiscal discipline within the group as money has been thrown at Chrysler. The decision to acquire Chrysler in the first place has not been a great success.

I think it's a little tougher for the Chrysler Group than they're admitting.

This plant shows that we are implementing innovative solutions to compete in this fiercely competitive global market.

I think Chrysler lost a lot of market share, which has not been the case for Mercedes.

I think everybody is worried about April. In the U.S. so far in April Chrysler car sales are down pretty significantly.

It definitely speaks to the fact that (this) is a global automotive market and to have that global success, you have to reach with all of your brands and not just the Chrysler brand.

I think they're going to be struggling. Even with 15.9 (million vehicle sales) GM can only make a little money. Ford can't make that and Chrysler probably can't.

The 2006 Chrysler 300 with the Great American Package offers entry-level customers the striking proportions and distinctive styling of the Chrysler 300 with the safety features, technologies and interior enhancements they desire. With an MSRP of about $25,600, the 2006 Chrysler 300 equipped with this package also offers a great value versus our key competitors and to buyers who shop both domestic and import offerings.

The all-new 2007 Chrysler Aspen offers customers guilt-free indulgence. Loaded with premium features, stunning Chrysler design, fuel-saving MDS technology, standard safety features and best-in-class horsepower, torque and interior room, Chrysler Aspen offers more for less.

Today's Chrysler Group profit-sharing announcement recognizes the hard work of our employees and our progress toward our 2007 objectives.

We knew we could do a good job and it would be something special that the Bob Hope Chrysler Classic would want to own. It's a big challenge for them to operate. But we will do whatever we can to assist them.

Who's most likely to buy our products, who's least likely to buy them and who's up for grabs. This has given us a much deeper insight than we've ever had before using traditional demographic or vehicle segment-based models. One of the most important findings from this research is that there remains a huge market for American cars in this country. And the potential is significantly larger than the roughly 55 percent market share than GM, Ford and Chrysler together command today.

There has been real progress at DaimlerChrysler compared with Ford and GM. They got the job cuts size right at Chrysler and the only way to turn Mercedes around is to do the same thing.

We have made the decision to broaden and further strengthen the Chrysler brand with new, exciting cars. This eliminates often overlapping Plymouth brand models, and further focuses all our brands,

We'll have to see what the tour pitches to Chrysler and then we'll see where we stand,

Even a Chrysler has some imported parts in it and because these Toyotas are a little more expensive, Ford might be charging more.

There's a deep Chrysler team that helped the company -- it wasn't just him -- but he's very, very highly regarded, certainly considered among the top auto executives in the world. So it is a question, why can't you have a role for perhaps one of the most talented guys in the industry?

There's no difference in the economic climate that Chrysler faces than the one that Ford and GM face. All three of us are in an entirely different boat than transplant operators. All three have legacy costs. All three of us have made commitments to our work force and our retirees that haven't manifested themselves with the transplants.

Things at the local table picked up a bit yesterday. For Chrysler to start doing local negotiations on a serious basis this early, it may very well be a signal they want to get a settlement,

A former Ford exec going to GM, this is a first, ... GM just doesn't hire Ford execs. But GM under Wagoner is doing things differently. They turned to a Chrysler veteran for the head of public relations. Now this. That says something about a change at GM.

Although the Volkswagen mini-van shares its basic architecture with upcoming Chrysler and Dodge vehicles, this will be an all new product.

For a long time, we have not been confident that Chrysler would continue. Their body language has been this way for a while. They've got a lot going on right now and the timing is just tough for them. But we're confident (about finding a new sponsor). We wouldn't have put that tournament in that (March) date if we didn't think we could sell it.

It's been a good week for us, a good run. Chrysler sees some opportunities with the new setup that they are pretty darned excited about.

The Chrysler 300C Heritage Edition honors the long line of beautiful Chrysler 300 vehicles by combining power and fuel-economy in a sporty, stylish package.

If there's going to be a rough spot, it's that Chrysler has driven its decision-making from the lowest levels.

His departure is not going to make or break the company, but the cumulative loss of the top people from Chrysler is a significant drag, although it's hard to quantify,

Chrysler needs to partner with someone because of the investment and costs. If we can get to work with somebody that already has a great platform, we will do that.

Chrysler made it very clear to us when we were doing our probing to try to find out where we could get the best agreement on our issues without a strike that ... that if we didn't accepot their demands on outsourcing and (plant) closure that we could not get an agreement with them and they would forsce the dispute,

Chrysler is known to bring its concepts very quickly into the market, but believe it or not, we do some concepts where we have not decided yet to produce them.

Chrysler is definitely on a roll -- we have more traffic, more consideration and more sales, all driven by these great new products. We're going to grow Chrysler's market share and brand image through elegant designs, inspired engineering and exceptional value.

Chrysler is a brand built on inspiration and innovation. We are excited to launch this new competition that will showcase the great lineup of Chrysler vehicles in a fun and engaging way, while providing an opportunity for players to show their own personal inspirations.

Chrysler has great momentum right now that we intend to keep going. As we move forward with our global growth strategy, Plymouth, as a U.S. brand only, did not contribute to that growth. This was an emotional decision because Plymouth will always be an important part of our heritage.

Chrysler has developed a reputation for flair and design that originated with Tom. But he's been a lot more than a designer the last few years. He's been much more of an executive. I can't help but feel he's sick of it.

Chrysler had good momentum in 2005 and that will probably continue in 2006.

The cuts are a bit higher than we thought would happen. Still we think this is not a quick fix for DaimlerChrysler. The main problem for Chrysler going forward is the softening of the U.S. market and increased competition in its key markets, such as the minivan.
