Wasn't that the decade of the K car?
I do agree with some's assumptions that US car companies can't seem
to get it together. The K car was one of the ugliest tin boxes
conceived. But I think that was marketing. You're right. Chrysler
didn't want to sell K cars. So show good faith by making an ugly piece
of tin while accepting the government bailout. And now they want it
again. Let them die, as a company. Though if I was in the market, the
new Lincoln looks pretty sweet. Thank God I'm not in the market.

Which reminds me of an incident about 2 decades ago. My wife and I
had a
Japanese student at our house for a home stay of 3 weeks. His
English was
relatively good for a Japanese student. Anyway, we had watched TV
with him
on several occasions. One evening, he made the observation that all
the
automobile ads he saw on TV seemed to be for products of Japan-based
companies. So far as we could tell, he was essentially right.
Remember,
this was the 80's.

Keeping
this computer related. Who'd thought of an iPod before Apple took
over the
market?
