Can Chrysler make it 18 months?

With crappy gas hogs, gas prices going back up, and likely to do so more if the recession is bottoming out, I wouldn’t hold my breath over an analysis of its prospects. And, that analysis includes 18 months until the Fiat takeover will show results on the showroom floors of remaining dealers.

And, even with slashed dealers cutting overhead, Chrysler also is cut off the federal bailout pipeline, now.

So, will Chrysler make it? Maybe, per my poll estimating GM could take as long as 18 months to clear the actual, and equivalent of, bankruptcy, maybe I should run one asking if Chrysler-Fiat can last that long.
