Default His American designs are hit and miss, I'll give you that...

I wouldn't call the upcoming 300C beautiful, but overall I like the design.

Again, not beautiful, but I like the overall direction.

I'm a BIG fan of the Pacifica concept. Unfortunately Chrysler cheapified the production model, which now looks like a Town and Country.

And yes, I think the Crossfire will be a huge success. It's nothing new chassis wise, so don't expect to be wowed. You're looking at a reskinned SLK. However quality and feel should be lightyears ahead of what Chrysler typically produces.

Now to the misses...

I do not like the Dodge Super8 one bit.

Or the Magnum. It's a poor hack job of the Avantissmo.

The Airflite is similar in shape to the Super8. Definitly not a fan.

Out of all these, the Crossfire and Pacifica concept scream Chrysler. I'm glad both made it to production, though the overall execution of the Pacifica turned out disappointing.

The ****** and Super8 are Freeman Thomas' designs. He is now head of design at the Pacifica Advance Product Design Center, so I'm not sure how much influence he's had over the various designs above.

Default I worked on the climate control system. I did all of the vehicle systems integration for the

automatic climate control in that vehicle. I've seen everything that goes into the vehicle and unfortunately some of it isn't that great. I, unfortunately, have spent a lot of time at the Windsor, ONT, assymbly plant in the past year.
