Well this is interesting....

Jim Press leaves Toyota to join Chrysler as president


<snipped>

I met Jim on several occasions when he was only a National Manager and I
was a management trainee. Prior to coming to Toyota, he worked for Ford.
He is a brilliant car guy who lives and breathes the car business and
talks with lowly trainees the same way he talks with his superiors.
Toyota will sorely miss his influence and management style. I see
Chrysler's business improving greatly if they allow Jim to do his thing.


This is just what I was thinking.

Imagine! Chrysler buiding good cars again! (Although I had very few
complaints with my vans and my LHS...)
