Tell me you overcomplicate your life without telling me. As I can see you have the mind of someone on the spectrum who is so focused on their point of view and wanting to be right, that you go about rearranging wording in long drawn explanations to say the same thing.
As missing the point goes you went around the globe to say absolutely nothing. We are talking about shared platforms for Stellantis, that the cost will be spread across all brands no matter where the parts come from. Just because you keep rambling about Chinese/Korean/Japanese/Cambodian or...
You may want to dismiss Buick, but that's just your personal preference because it will be crossshopped and Buick is primarily a Chinese brand, since that's actually the market they are designed and focused for. The Enclave is the only one built in the US, all the others are foreign. Chrysler...
14 brands to spread the costs of parts and production, not an issue because they already do that. There is nothing new about what they are trying to do, but they are realizing that the bread and butter market is slowly backing away since they have exhausted pushing every high priced model they...
Hitting the niche they need is easy enough, the problem is having the right person to guide the brand and Fueull isn't that person. Chrysler could have easily been to Stellantis America what Genesis is now to Hyundai/Kia. They were already established and giving Chrysler a couple of standout...
So if this is debuting at the end of the year to be produced as a 27MY then the design must be cemented. I suppose they will finally show something by the end of the year. With the V8s returning, not sure if they'll use any of them in these new Chryslers or use the I6/supplemented by...
This is the same transmission they have been talking about, it was never for hybrids. The Cherokee will likely get a ZF 8 or 9 speed hybrid transmission. They won't use the Punch DCT in the US because the North American markets hate DCTs.
I stated from the mention of this 3 speed that it was for EVs but people seemed to think this was for hybrids, which made no sense whatsoever. A transmission like this only could be an upgrade to the current 1 speed they have.
I have to agree with you Bill. Jeep has always given more than one powertrain for it models, except for the Compass/Patriot twins. This being a NA market exclusive, I don't think they'll try to come directly at Honda and Toyota with a hybrid only, unless its the class leader in every metric...
I've been seeing these photoshop designs pop up and the first one really caught my attention as something that could standout for Dodge. Curious, if they'll have any of the European design influence as well as packaging like we just saw in the new Compass?
Wouldn't this be twinned with the new Stelvio underpinnings, since Dodge is supposed to be the "performance" brand? I assume it will take elements from the the Wagoneer S (rear spoiler) with aerodynamic tricks from the Stelvio on a more blunt upright (updated version of the Durango) fascia, so...
This is shaping up nicely, I'm excited to see the finished product!!! I admit I'll be disappointed if the only engine option is the 1.6T hybrid, considering the size of this model. It's looks like the interior will mirror the Wagoneer S which is a huge plus. Curious if they will add a...
I'm assuming he means "liftback" or "sportback" (like Audi A/S 5/7), which is a better option since it'll be off the STLA Large. Let's hope the Guilia is far lighter and handles better, considering the competition it'll be set against.
These were failed from conception especially in the US since we are forced to purchase things we don't want. Dodge should have been making the ICE versions at the same time to minimize the damage and get sells rolling. Until the Hurricane versions are available, they should prepare these...
When I saw this 3 speed transmission come up awhile back, I thought it might be something developed for these electric models. To see something developed for a hybrid with only 3 gears, seems like it would either constantly be shifting or holding very high rpms for power.
Aren't there a...
I have the same apprehension on the plug-ins, especially when I test drove a GC 4xe. The salesman was trying his best to convince me that it would be a great buy, but of course I live in complex that doesn't supply charging stations and I'm not going all over the city to hunt for one. They are...
The hybrid won't be an issue as long as it's not plug-in (4xe). Look at what Toyota, Honda, Hyundai, etc. have accomplished with them. If it's a well sorted hybrid or 48V mild hybrid system, the increase fuel economy and performance will be what people will seek out.
My questions are
1. What powerplant will it have?
2. Which engine layout will it get, transvere or longitudinal (old XJ)?
I would hope they aren't plaguing this with anything smaller than the new 2.0T, but there have been alot of people claiming it would see some form of the 1.6T. Considering...
Sorry, but I can attest to getting info from him and other youtubers days and/or weeks before it's posted here or anywhere else. I stopped coming here because of that catty posters that I now see are staffers, who can't stand being behind the 8 ball on what's happening in an arena they are...
