In this video, Motley Fool contributor John Rosevear looks at what's working -- and at what isn't -- for the smallest of the Detroit automakers. He also contrasts recent trends at Chrysler with what has been happening at Ford (F 0.08%) and General Motors (GM -0.04%) -- and points out a potential big flaw in Chrysler's product strategy.
