Chrysler are reporting profits of $116 million for the first quarter of 2011, a return to profit for the first time since bankruptcy in 2009.

Dodge Challenger. George Washington. English Redcoats. Must be the World Cup.
Chrysler are running adverts for the Dodge Challenger during the US World Cup games showing George Washington routing the English Redcoats. We know. It’s the world cup.
