Chrysler had available a replacement CEO, Iaccoca, whose reputation for success convinced everyone that he could fix the company; * Shared sacrifice. All of Chrysler stakeholders -- including unions, shareholders, banks, and dealers -- were willing to sacrifice for the survival of the company; * New car that met market needs. Chrysler was ready to launch a new front-wheel drive fuel-efficient car that consumers would be wiling to buy; * Realistic plan. Chrysler had a well thought-out operating plan to survive the crisis; and * Bank loans. Banks agreed to provide financing to Chrysler if the government would guarantee the loans.

I thought they were horrible, but if they brought back the company to a point where they could eventually offer up something like a Viper, then maybe a couple boring, egg-shaped electric cars is just what we need for a few years. Hopefully I don't have to buy one.

But I'd want to use one of these controllers for the throttle:
