On a similar note, I posted a complaint to Chrysler on their Media Blogs site about the fact that Chevy came out with an HHR PANEL.
I copied some of your points you posted on your Home page Scott and these are the replies I got from Chrysler:

We've always maintained a healthy dose of "educated" with our "risk" - yes sometimes you need to go with the gut. But in these trying financial times in particular, one must be smart with how much risk is possible as 'countless' pitfalls remain. It never fails with our designs that there are people who say "I'll write you a check right now for one of those" when we do a concept. In some cases like the Dodge Challenger or the PT or the Pacifica or the Crossfire or the Vipe or variations of the 300C or (well, you can see where this is going with our high percentage of actually building concepts) - it makes sense to move forward. In other cases, it's more of a "there's a time and place" and factors of capacity, materials, market indicators etc. are the more driving force.

If the HHR Panel shows to me a mild success, maybe a Jeep Patroit Panel could be just as successful?

Cold weather we're having, isn't it? A bit unusual for this time of year. Not to change the subject or anything, but the Chrysler Group will certainly continue to watch the market for opportunities that make sense. Nothing along the lines of a Patriot Panel truck have been discussed to date.
