Competition
Chrysler claimed that the TC was not in competition with the two-seater Cadillac Allanté nor the Buick Reatta. The Allanté was also Italian-designed and partially hand-built. The Allanté was powered by a 200 hp 4.5L V8 engine ('89-'92) with final assembly in the U.S. (after the bodies built in Italy were shipped via special air cargo) at a price of more than $17,000 over the TC. The Reatta was a 170 hp V6-powered roadster with a suggested price about $15,000 lower than the TC.

Famous quotes containing the word competition:
“Knowledge in the form of an informational commodity indispensable to productive power is already, and will continue to be, a major—perhaps the major—stake in the worldwide competition for power. It is conceivable that the nation-states will one day fight for control of information, just as they battled in the past for control over territory, and afterwards for control over access to and exploitation of raw materials and cheap labor.”
—Jean François Lyotard (b. 1924)
“Like many businessmen of genius he learned that free competition was wasteful, monopoly efficient. And so he simply set about achieving that efficient monopoly.”
—Mario Puzo (b. 1920)
“So long as the system of competition in the production and exchange of the means of life goes on, the degradation of the arts will go on; and if that system is to last for ever, then art is doomed, and will surely die; that is to say, civilization will die.”
—William Morris (1834–1896)
