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.
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.
We at Chrysler borrow money the old fashion way. We pay it back.
Chrysler builds great cars.
