    Return of Dodge, New Charger...Can we see a new Valiant?

    Chrysler have confirmed (at last check) that Dodge will definately be returning to Australia sometime, and now Dodge are looking at a new Charger. With RWD architecture from past Mercs and the reintroduction of Dodge to help some more Chryslers through I reckon a resurrection of the Valiant nameplate could be the way to go. I know the idea probably isn't feasible but damn i want it to happen. Pity Chrylsers run by a bunch of retards...

    can't help you out there... but the head of chrysler australia lost his leg in a crash when a FWD hit him on his R1, thats pretty much all i know about Chrysler Australia... apart from them being a shitty little subsidiary that has a grand total of 2 products in its range

    Jac Nasser was an Aussie and he was the previous Ford US boss....what i thinks stupid is theres a boss of all the Ford subsidies, like here, US, Brazil, Uk etc. then theres the FoMoCo boss.....but year, Jac Nasser used to be head honcho before he got the flick in 2001

    well hes obviously done something wrong.....some people would probably find it hard to believe 2 people like Jacques Nasser and Geoph Polites came from the same country and ran the same country

    good luck, ive never heard of them before

    I think Open Road (NRMA) did a special once and talked to some Ford and Holden designers about what they thought the Falcon and Commodore would look like in 2010.....surprising what they came up with for the Falcon still had alot of AU influenced stuff
