Time is Ripe for Ruskie-Chrysler Car
Times have changed. Russia and America now enjoy peaceful relations, just
like they did before the '17 revolution, and the time is ripe for a joint
car venture. Decades ago, the Soviets tried the American market and found
it wanting. Its a new ball game now.
Russian engineering gets respect by the public and plenty of it. Just look
at the Proton and Soyuz rockets. What rockets! Dependable, safe, and you
know there good just by looking at their exhaust plume - a nice clean
flame, just like an O'Keefe & Merritt cooker. No smoke belching like the
Space Shuttle. For patriotic sake, you guys make still tout the Shuttle,
but not a single one of your would-be spacemen would take NASA up on a free
ticket. Someday NASA will shake off its "Need Another Seven Astronauts"and
"Not Another Shuttle Accident" image (even the Ford Explorer and Bronco II
are safer), but for now as we all know, they are completely and totally
dependent on the better-than-world-class Russian rocketships and I am sure
NASA pays plenty of bucks for the privilege.
I am convinced that Russia can help us out with our car problems too. They
know how to design cheap and rugged machines of all kinds. Under the
Soviets, car companies took the back seat of the bus, so had no opportunity
to strut their stuff. But that was then and this is now. I would not
hesitate to buy a finely Russian designed, Chrysler-Russian jointly built
car, sold through Chrysler dealerships.
Just maybe that Tamaraw FX-like $10,000 diesel utility vehicle can be
designed and brought to market in the States through such a consortium. I
see no reason why the U.S. Govenment could not sponsor such a worthwhile
project, since neither the Russian government nor Chrysler Corp. have the
seed money to do it right. I think it could be done for 1/85th of this
year's Iraqi war budget. That's a real bargain to recapture the low end
vehicle market from the Asians. We're talking about a million units a year
and all the jobs that go along with supplying materials, labor, sales and
servicing.
This is a serious post. I have copywrited it to be sure everything so
stated here is the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth and
irrevocably correct in its entirety, now and in perpeturity.
