Even if this were true, it would be a very dumb thing to do. Dodge is still very successful. Unlike Plymouth and Eagle, Dodge has many things that Chrysler does not have and would have trouble carrying over. The 300 cannot gain 100% of the sales of the Charger as it appeals to a different audience. The Sebring has more wrong with it than the Avenger so don't expect that to work. Part of the Ram's appeal is the image associated with aggresiveness that Dodge is associated with, a luxury focused brand cannot carry this off. Although I really don't like either one and they are on different platforms and share pretty much nothing, the PT Crusier even after an update would not be able to get the agressive focused Caliber. The Chrysler Cuda seems awkward enough, the Challenger would never work. Frankly, if one of the two were going to die, kill of Chrysler. They lost their original purpose anyways. If the truth be told, Chrysler needs another division, not less.

 

dodge is the base level and chysler is suppose to be the luxury part. I want a charger cause it looks aggressive and a charger r/t is at least 10k less than a 300C hemi. Just one of many examples.
