I know the Dart and 200 are dead. Not sure if the Journey is still around, although it is now old if it is. Also, the 300 is dated, although I agree it kind of looks boss. I love me the 300 SRT-8. So that really only leaves the Pacifica, which I'm certain is a good vehicle, but not enough to carry a brand.

Chrysler is alive and well. Although two models branded as Chryslers is a bit lower than they have historically had it really isn't that unusual for them. There has never been a huge line up of Chrysler badged vehicles. The funny part about the 300 is that it actually competes for market share with it's cousin the Charger. They generally badge the majority of their cars as Dodges now. When you look at Dodge you see they are actually doing very well. Even the poor old Journey is still holding in the middle of the pack and growing in sales. The Durango isn't doing so great but it is competing in a pretty tough category. The Caravans are selling in record numbers, The Challenger is the bottom of the Pony car class but even the bottom of that class means they sell shit loads and if we bring Ram into the mix then they sell about a bazillion cars a year. You also forgot to include the whole Jeep lineup in the Chrysler group and that is another massive part of the US sales mix.
I have very valid reasons for following what Chrysler is doing very, very closely. They are actually doing great!
