THE CHANCES are good today that on some sodden field, kids are trying to play the last game of the season as their dutiful parents shiver on the sidelines.It doesn't matter much which sport is winding down.

Regardless of which sport their kids are playing, the parents on the sidelines are probably suffering from the "last game of the season syndrome."One symptom of this syndrome is the "spousal dodge."

For the "new" Chrysler - which recently went private and is in the midst of a restructuring - meeting these challenges won't be easy. Although the automaker's Chrysler, Dodge and Jeep vehicles "are seen by consumers as being rugged, tough and powerful with aggressive designs," says Steve Witten of market research firm J.D. Power & Associates, "what they're below average on is being fuel-efficient and environmentally friendly, providing good value for money and appealing to younger drivers."
