Chrysler’s Future Likely to Hold Fewer Cars
By NICK BUNKLEY
DETROIT — As recently as 2007, Chrysler had 32 different models. By
next year, that number could drop to as low as 13, according to
industry analysts, as the company jettisons slow-selling models to
make room in its dealerships for new Fiat models
A few Chrysler products, including its minivans, Dodge Ram pickup
truck and some Jeeps, are most likely to survive. Their sales have
held up relative to their other models and they have a loyal base of
buyers.

Notice nothing is mentioned about any "golden parachute" for Lasorda.
I'd love to know how much HIS pension is.
