Hey just wondering.... I recently heard that Ford actually owned Chrysler. Is this true? Cause they were talking on some news show, that since Ford and Chevy were going to cut back on factories and employee's.That Chrysler would end of having to also due to Ford owning Chrylser. Anyone know anything please reply. Thanx

 

Chrysler is completely seperate from Ford. Chrysler does have ties with Dodge, Jeep, Mercedes, Smart, Volkswagen and Maybach however.

Slow sales might be hurting Ford and Chevy more then Chrysler, that's probably why Chrysler would end up doing so at a later time.
