I got news for you man... More of Chrysler and Dodge will stick around if Nissan takes over. GM will rip Chrysler into shreds. There's already multiple joint projects between Nissan and Chrysler anyway.

I grew out of the "bikes are about speed" thing a long time ago. Now bikes are about enjoying the day and having true pride in what you ride.....American....Harley Davidson Brother! That Road King can take me as fast as I need to go from one side of this land to the other. 105 years proud! Number #1

My fear is Nissan would make Chrysler products the only guaranteed way that I would never own one. With CVTs. I liked Nissan okay until they started using those horrible things. I have a feeling those quality surveys will change in time once those CVTs age.

I would also hate to have Nissan's flawed I4s; however, I'm not exactly crazy with the Hyundai based I4 we currently have.

The VQ is a good engine and I would probably get used to having one after a few mild complaints about it not being an American engine.

I see problems with either direction honestly. Ford would be a safer route in my opinion as I think that Ford knows the value of the Hemi since they don't have a decent V8 currently. Ford has good potential but boring badges that prevent them from being great.
