@@motalesdaveIt’s almost like they’ve totally forgotten all of the good things they learned during the Iacocca and Marchionne days, and replaced them with a new “paradigm” that was conceived in the cost-cutting-only brain of Carlos Tavares. Sad. 😢
@@StevenHood My thoughts exactly! The new executives (I'm loathe to say "leaders") only seem to know Chainsaw Al Dunlop methods - SCORE, empowered work teams, cross-functional teams, factory involvement... all dead. The last news story I read suggested they plan to import 80% of all sales from low-cost countries within a few years...
@@motalesdave what’s really infuriating is that ALL of the companies that have merged with Chrysler (Daimler, Fiat, and now Stellantis especially) have brazenly refused to believe that Chrysler’s methods and practices were of any real value compared to theirs. Perhaps it’s the European mindset, I don’t know. All I know is that if you’re almost totally beholden to short term stock performance instead of delivering world class products, you have NOTHING!! 😡
Ford screwed up by dropping the crown vic
Sad there letting all that reputation built up over the years with police departments.. die with quality issues....
A lot of reputation and credibility vanishing. Hate watching them make boneheaded mistakes they made decades ago.
