The Porsche vs Chrysler comparison is beyond silly. Luxury SUVs were (and still are) an emerging market in the early 2000s. Compact cars in 2009, were not. And that's besides the fact that a bankrupt Chrysler was sure as hell designing every car they had to a strict budget. There's plenty of cars (most) that are built to a price first, then product, and many of them sell and perform unremarkably. Up until the late 20th century Mercedes-Benz didn't set a price for their car before all their R&D and engineering was finished. They ended up producing some of the best built cars out there, that indeed did sell.
