A new logo is needed because it changed for the 2011 models — Preceding unsigned comment added by Aikidockd (talk • contribs) 06:09, 29 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Hah, they ripped off the Aston Martin logo! 72.79.184.187 (talk) 18:26, 13 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

The following is a closed discussion of a requested move. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on the talk page. Editors desiring to contest the closing decision should consider a move review. No further edits should be made to this section.

The result of the move request was: Not moved Mike Cline (talk) 18:26, 20 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Chrysler (division) → Chrysler (marque) – Per contents of article. The article Chrysler deals with the business entity (although that should probably be moved as well for clarity, perhaps to Chrysler (corporation) 92.4.113.150 (talk) 12:59, 12 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose - We don't locate articles at (marque) locations, it is also a term that is meaningless for a lot of countries. Division is the most accurate way of describing things anyway, as Chrysler is a division of FCA - something that article also describes. Lukeno94 (tell Luke off here) 14:57, 12 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

That's odd, since this article starts with the words "Chrysler is an American car brand and the longstanding premium marque of automaker FCA". Marque is the commonly used word for car brand in the English language, and this is the English language WP. A Google search for "Chrysler division" actually shows third party sources most often using the term to refer to FCA US LLC as a part of FCA rather than referring to just the Chrysler brand ex Jeep, Dodge, Ram etc (https://www.google.co.uk/search?q=Chrysler+divsion&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8&gws_rd=cr&ei=ZBtSVdXRMIroUoqVgdAD#q=Chrysler+division&start=0). The current arrangement, with the company/subsidiary FCA US LLC taking the article name "Chrysler" is also a mess, that is not the dominant useage of the word, if anything the brand is. 92.4.113.150 (talk) 15:30, 12 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

In fact this article in the Financial Times actually states "FCA’s Chrysler division includes the Chrysler, Jeep, Dodge and Ram brands." [1]92.4.113.150 (talk) 15:36, 12 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose. Maybe "Chrysler (brand)", but certainly not "Chrysler (marque)" per WP:ENGVAR purposes. I doubt "marque" is more commonly used in American English than "brand". In fact, all instances of "marque" should be changed to "brand". Zzyzx11 (talk) 02:12, 13 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment except it isn't the branding "Chrysler", it's a particular mark/marque/make of car, the brand itself is much broader than just this make. -- 65.94.43.89 (talk) 04:58, 13 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose per WP:ENGVAR, and I agree that the word "marque" should be removed the article, as it seems very out of place when referring to an American product. Krychek (talk) 19:34, 18 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Requested move 20 March 2016[edit]

The following is a closed discussion of a requested move. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on the talk page. Editors desiring to contest the closing decision should consider a move review. No further edits should be made to this section.

The result of the move request was: Moved per clear consensus. (non-admin closure) (even though I was a lone dissenter for a while, I feel OK closing this as I have no potential conflict of interest and nobody else opposes it, and the admins and other closers are swamped.)

Chrysler (division) → Chrysler (brand) – As per article content. Our article Chrysler deals with the business entity. Hugh (talk) 21:08, 20 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

~~Oppose~~ – At this time, the article is as much about organizations as about brands. Perhaps a more general proposal to reorganize the treatment would make more sense than a move at this time? Dicklyon (talk) 04:17, 21 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Hello. I agree the cluster of articles Chrysler/Chrysler (division)/Fiat need some TLC. Not sure I agree that this article "is as much about organizations as about brands." The lede of this article is "Chrysler is an American car brand..." The content is mostly about Chrysler brands. Thanks. Hugh (talk) 15:55, 21 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Support as proposer. Hugh (talk) 15:55, 21 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]
- It's already assumed the proposer supports his own proposal. -- Necrothesp (talk) 12:02, 8 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I've unstriken the nominator's comments. There's nothing wrong with it as long as they make it clear they're the nominator.--Cúchullain ^t/c 18:46, 11 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Support. "Division" is a ridiculous and meaningless disambiguator. I would prefer "marque", but according to the discussion above this isn't commonly used in America. -- Necrothesp (talk) 13:21, 7 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Support. The article is about the Chrysler brand, not a particular division of the business currently in charge of the brand.--Cúchullain ^t/c 18:46, 11 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I withdraw my opposition, in hopes that that will help this get closed eventually. Dicklyon (talk) 01:05, 19 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Support - This short article is mainly about the brand. It only briefly mentions the automaker's previous organization into marketing "divisions" for sales operations. It then lists the various models marketed under the Chrysler brand name. CZmarlin (talk) 01:42, 19 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Move discussion in progress[edit]

There is a move discussion in progress on Talk:Chrysler which affects this page. Please participate on that page and not in this talk page section. Thank you. —RMCD bot 19:44, 30 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]

First Line of entry[edit]

I question this statement: "Chrysler is an American luxury car brand and the longstanding premium marque of automaker FCA US LLC."

Makes is read like it was done by Chrysler themselves or someone paid by them to write this statement.

I would suggest this be edited to seem more generic or removed. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 153.2.246.33 (talk) 15:10, 4 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

History section[edit]

Maybe it would be excessive and make the section too long, but surely the near collapse, Iaccoca and then rapid growth would be worth noting? Maybe not Tdp2612 (talk) 19:51, 1 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I agree that this page is incomplete, however, I believe that such information is present in, and belongs in the article on Chrysler, the overarching company that sold vehicles under an eponymous brand. I do think the incompleteness of this article should be drawn to attention. QuadraticEquation 20:13, 6 July 2018 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by QuadraticEquation (talk • contribs)
