If it is getting worse for Chrysler there will be huge pressure for Schrempp to do something. This could bring a big bounce for the stock. If "Wunderwaffe" Zetsche fails it's over. OTM calls have the perfect risk profile for this situation, much better than the stock in case of a sharp rise or even a further decline. A straddle should do it, too. VW: nice rally, loosing steam at the moment, must hold 55 (z)euro. I think that the good USA situation for the German car makers is already included in the stock prices. Fuel prices here in Germany are rising again, 2.10DM/l, increasing tendency. Not too good for auto makers... (perhaps not valid for the luxury car makers: a TV magazine made a test and charged 3 DM/l. Many drivers paid the bill without any further questions...)
