| There was another period of optimism from the late 2000s to the mid 2010s. Stellantis dog-shitted Chrysler brands into almost complete market irrelevance. |

| One of the most hideous cars of this time period, and that's even by early-'60s Chrysler standards. I have no idea what Chrysler was up to in '61 and '62, but damn. |

I would say they didn't play it safe enough. Blowing too much money on the Pacer and the Matador coupe was ultimately what sank them. Both had absurdly long development times, with the Pacer being a technogical dead-end that relied too much on GM's passing interest, and the Matador coupe losing its chance at being an impressive-looking and performing coupe by its release being delayed until it coincided with the release of emissions-choked engines and ungainly tacked-on bumpers.
The Pacer was sent to market with tried-and-true running gear that effectively made it nothing but a weird-looking compact, and the Matador coupe tried to limp along on the "personal luxury" wave in an attempt to compete with the Monte Carlo. Neither worked, and the company couldn't recoup. |

My parents had a brown Omega 4 door around the time I was born. I think it may have been the first car I ever rode in, although I obviously have no memory of it.
They utterly hated the thing. It apparently overheated constantly. |
