That One Guy Posted July 29 Share Posted July 29 Just now, JohnRogers said: How much of that is crash standards? Also to be accurate compare 3series to 3series. Except the average person who used to buy a sedan is now buying a "midsize SUV" (ideally 3 row, even if they have 1-2 kids). Sedans hold less of the market share now than they ever have. Crash standards do not prevent small cars. Look at my Miata, it is virtually exactly the same length as the 1990 original. Look how reasonably sized the current Corolla is. Crash standards do have a lot to do with the decreasing greenhouse in modern cars though. Not enough windows, too much bodywork! Door sill lines keep going upward with each new generation!

Quote At the time, and probably still, a lot of people think is that we were just given the old E-class stuff, and that’s not true at all. They were doing the new E-class, code named the 211, and they launched that one year before we launched the LX. They would invite us and we’d go over and we’d go on their two-day road trips around the neighborhood, you know, in the Autobahn in Germany and Austria development trips, with the new E-class. We’d participate in that and compare notes, because we basically modeled our suspension after that new 211 with a couple of things that we did differently. The idea that we were just kind of given the old stuff, and that here you go, just take the old E-class and put your Dodge or Chrysler skin on it, that wasn’t it at all. https://www.allpar.com/d3/history/interviews/burke-brown-lx.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Certainly doesn’t sound like they developed their own platform. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jamie Posted July 29 Share Posted July 29 My grandma told me that I was not raised to take advantage of the system. I am disabled, the system that should be helping isn't even designed to help me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jamie Posted July 29 Share Posted July 29 Being raised by republicans was crazy because disability and queerness were packaged as something unfortunate that happens to other people. It's always their fault for needing help. It's their fault for not conforming. Just conform and keep working because it's simply the easier route (if you're straight/cis and/or abled).

Certainly doesn’t sound like they developed their own platform. The development of the RWD cars was long underway before the merger of equals, then synergy happened. BTW, Chrysler Corp was flush with cash at the time, the merger MB was just a German cash grab. Lido picked the wrong guy to replace him. Instead of Bob Lutz he chose Bob Eaton who basically sold Mopar to MB for a nice parachute. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
