One of the perks of being an ex-Chrysler Exec was company cars for life. Not any more. Oh, the cruel irony of repo'ing cars from Lee Iacocca, the person responsible for saving Chrysler from bankruptcy, because of bankruptcy.

In a letter obtained by Fox Business Network, the Chrysler HR division tells execs they can either turn the vehicles back in or purchase them at fair value. This means Iacocca has the choice of either turning back in both the Chrysler Town & Country and the 300C he's driving around in, or buying them both (thus doubling Chrysler's projected sales for the month). The letter ends by noting the "many contributions you have made to Chrysler" but says it's a necessary move.

 

I bet he never thought this would happen when he was taking care of things. I feel bad for the guy, but not that bad. He can afford to pay for his own cars.... and nicer cars for that matter

 

I think he should give them back and have Snoop D-oh-double-g buy him an Odyssey and Accord.

 

I think its hilarious that they actually sent him, of all people that letter . They have no money and no shame

 

oh the irony lol

 

Disposable cars anyway.

 

Snoop will give him one of his Snoop-de-villes.

 

Its sad b/c here is a guy that took Chrsyler from the brink in the 1970s and turned them around. He did get a govt loan and paid it back 7/8 years EARLY!!! Let the man keep a 300C and Van, its not breaking your company and he deserves it, unlike most of the failing upwards leaders/management they have had for decades.

 

Pretty soon he'll be driving a Fiat.

 

I pretty much have to agree.

 

That satin red looks nice on that Fiat.

And is there any point to collecting their cars back. They won't get much money for them so why not let their users enjoy them??

 

Except its not satin. Fiats are such POS that even their gloss paint look satin.

 

How does it go? FIAT=Fix It Again Tony

 

Shows your ignorance of this Italian brand.

Actually, Fiats over the last 20 years have become reliable, stylish, and fun
and Fiat itself has become profitable in the process.

The same can't be said for the "big three..."

The paint looks dull due to either the photo or a PhotoShop job.
I will rock a Fiat 500 Abarth if they ever come to the US.

The Mini Cooper looks like a dishwasher by comparison!
