Most automakers would rather pretend their old mistakes never happened. Stellantis’s chief doodler man Ralph Gilles isn’t one of them. The design boss recently looked back at Chrysler‘s pre-bankruptcy years and admitted the company’s interiors were nowhere near where they needed to be. In fact, Gilles, a 110 per cent car nut who joined Chrysler more than three decades ago, brutally described 2000s’ cabins as having “water-pistol grade” quality.
