Chrysler's fine, as a division within DaimlerChrysler. They're not making the kind of money they were back in the mid 1990s, but they're doing fine.
The reason why so few models are offered in Australia is your country's odd law about requiring all vehicles to be right-hand drive. For a company like Chrysler who's products are primarily sold in left-hand drive countries, it costs a fortune to design and produce right-hand drive vehicles for sales in Japan, England, and Australia (the three largest markets for these cars). Neons are produced in the US factory in right-hand drive form. PT Cruisers and Voyagers may be built in Austria for right-hand drive markets, but I don't believe they are produced in North America that way. Wranglers and Cherokees are built in the US in RHD (again, Grand Cherokees are built in Austria for export markets).
The 300M is nearing the end of its life, so I don't think you'll see a RHD version. But the next generation of Chrysler products may be offered for sales in Australia. This would include the 300N.
Australia is not a big market for Chrysler ever since they sold their plants in the country to Mitsubishi (I believe).
