Going to the dealer on the 5th anniversary will be hard for me. :shades:
I will say that that kind of warranty would remove my biggest concern about Chryslers.
On one hand, we really like it and, for the right buyout, we'd like to keep it. But then I think about that tranny. I have one with a 75k mile warranty, so even if I keep it, it would probably only be until we hit 70k miles.

The vans are nuts! $4K off the top and another $1,500if you own any other Chrysler product for 30 days or more. Then they add that warranty.
I'll expect them to come drive one to my house....

That sort of thing has me wondering. Now I just replaced the old Ody with a CPO early this year but the thought of a $30K T&C for $23K and a lifetime powertrain warranty certainly has my radar going....
Most new car buyers won't keep the car long enough to benefit.
Plus,being powertrain only,the benefits are limited.
Even chryslers powertrains are pretty reliable.
Plus,its not transferable,so it brings no vlaue @ trade in or re-sale time.
Is the idea to get folks to try a Chrysler-bus product? Much like Hyundai did with its 10yr/100K warranty?
Me, too. Just isn't anything that they make that I'd be interested in.
Of course, at the moment I'm all over the map thinking about my next car...
I'm still in a minivan in the family mode and since my wife puts on way more miles than I do these days she's got the regular car...
Well, with the size of your clan, I can certainly understand why!
So, you gonna trade that Odyssey in for a T&C?
Expect an extremely unreliable experience. Don't say I didn't warn you.
I'm down to three kids in the car at most times. Ever since the oldest got a car she doesn't ride with us anymore....
I also have to assume you don't trust Nissans and Mitsubishis.

I know it's non-transferable, but this alleviates a lot of fears in regards to the powertrains and transmissions of their cars.
Who knows? With the deals on Chrysler products, it might be worth a look, and it certainly caught my eye.
They have to do something extra ordinary, like 10 years transferable bumper-to-bumper to win people back. The non - transferable lifetime powertranny is a joke. Who is going to drive the same (PT?) car whole life? And does not increase resale value.

That said my daughter has a troublesome Toyota. It can happen.
Not so much. The platform is mostly Mitsubishi (Lancer) and the engine is mostly Hyundai (GEMA).
Seems to me they took a page from the Element book on the interior design.

They can make a truck, but they can't make a car last more than 3 years or 36K miles. And the warranty does not increase the resale value directly correlated to quality and durability.
Boy would I like to see the look on his face.
metro - if they would come out with the SRT4 already AND if they are around in even 10 years, that COULD be me. ;b

I have read quotes of the new Hornet's U.S. price to be only $12,000 for the 6-speed manual version of the car. It will arrive in late 2008 or early 2009 to the U.S. Chery will barely make a dime off each Hornet but they are very hungry for the exposure and experience and chance to get their "foot in the door" to the potentially lucrative NA car market.

Oh well..
Heck, it makes me sad to think we would not have the current revitalization of the full-size American RWD performance sedan. Ford and Chevy certainly weren't going to step up and do it.

I can picture it now. Chrysler stores become big warehouses where buyers stroll through, pick out the car they want (at a no haggle price), and call for the forklift to come and get it down off the rack.

I don't think this looks good.
