I see your point, but the title of the article is "Chrysler, Want To Make an Extra 50 Billion?"

My point is that if it was written by some dude in a day, it's not going to make anyone $50 billion, especially Chrysler.

Well, the project took 1 month by two guys, so we can assume it was non-trivial.

As a personal note, I've got a couple of years in manufacturing, with much of that in automotive. The amount of stupidity that goes on in that industry is shocking. It doesn't surprise me at all that a couple of smart guys were able to build something like this. It surprises me that Chrysler was actually able to get a couple of smart guys to work for them.

yes...that's probably the most confusing part of the article. :)
