FIAT Brand	144	249	-42%	282	589	-52%

The Fiat brand faced challenges in the second quarter of 2023, with disappointing results. One of the key contributing factors to the brand’s lackluster performance was the limited availability of its sole vehicle offering in the U.S., the Fiat 500X. Low shipments of the Fiat 500X hindered the brand’s ability to meet market demand and achieve stronger sales figures.

With much new product and frankly the risky venture into more electric products committed by corporate, the future does project cautious optimism. A lot of good but aging product still generates stable sales, but the injection of new and expanded vehicles and models is desperately needed. Hornet, Rampage Tonale, Wagoneer S, Recon and Challenger / Charger replacements all are creating major interest and excitement for all brands. Little doubt, if the risk with electric pans out and the new replacements resonate with fans, the future is bright indeed.

Well enjoy it while you can. After the announcement that was made here on June 17, that 14 states plus DC will stop receiving ICE powered cars. I believe that’s going to tank sales for the next two quarters or more. There is no way sales will continue without product being on the lots in these 14 states. I think a lot of people will go to other dealerships where they could sit in the car, drive it and make a decision to buy it on the spot, then to order some thing and wait 4 to 6 to 8 weeks for it. I really believe Stellantis is behind the eight ball waiting so long to get these new EV cars out in show rooms and on the roads. As much as many people don’t want them, there are a lot of people out there that do (I’m not one of those but people). Just look at Tesla sales. And if you look at the date being thrown out there for the new EV cars, there seems to be somewhat of a gap between when production is going to end on the 2024s and the new 2025s are coming out. I’m just not seeing a nice smooth transition with plenty of vehicles out there. I think Mother Mopar is going to take a big hit. We are waiting to long for the new product change over. I hope I am very wrong and Bill is so very right!!

Certainly think you have a valid point made on this topic. Note that production at strike vulnerable assembly plants is also a way to build inventory until the new stuff arrives. I live in NY and if I can’t get what I want here, I’ll go to a favorable state and dealer. I doubt this policy will hold since frankly it seems more like a chess move than a business decision that has merit.

That is not what the original article says. That article says that "ICE only" vehicles will be left out from those 14 states. The various Stellantis hybrids still have ICE power and they are not considered ICE only. The ZF manufacturing plant in Gray Court, SC and a Stellantis facility in Kokomo will soon be producing the next generation of 8-speed automatics. This new generation transmission is designed for hybridization from the onset.

The big problem for Stellantis is that their products are overpriced. Toyota undercuts Chrysler, Dodge, Jeep and Ram hybrids in different segments and sometimes by a lot. Will Ram's upcoming Maverick competitor offer a base hybrid powertrain at an affordable base price? Chrysler uses the excellent e-Flte hybrid transaxle in the Pacifica plugin hybrid, and the small Ram needs that technology. It just seems Stellantis is letting it go to waste.

You do realize that this the regulatory reality. That the CARB states are forcing this down the OEM and the Consumers(that they voted for) throats. The taxes on pure ICE begin in the next model year.
