    2024 Jeep® Wagoneer S To Feature 400-Volt Architecture At Launch

    All the thinking on the Wagoneer S has sound standing, except one...all electric. Jeep has the platform already near launch to easily and effectively solve the one illogical and limiting issue, the spinoff Cherokee platform and its plan to offer a hybrid option. Give the Wagoneer S and the Recon...

    2025 Dodge Charger SIX PACK H/O Coupe Ready To Take On Mustang

    I can not see a way forward without new product that pushes the envelope. First it was the Avenger and then the Fiat 500 that brought gas engines back in a face saving effort by Stellantis to acknowledge that their 2030 plan is a bust. Arrogance and hubris might infect the corporate elite, but...

    2025 Dodge Charger SIX PACK H/O Coupe Ready To Take On Mustang

    Would I love a Hemi in this, sure, but the Six Pack, maybe with a new song to sing, is a very impressive offering. Call it large, but the passenger accommodations in the old Challenger was a big selling point. Yes indeed, size matters. The only chance Dodge has of survival IS the Six Pack and...

    Tribute To The Compact Pickup: Jeep® Comanche Concept

    Please, feel free to call this a tribute, but it should also be viewed as a glimpse into the possibilities for Jeep, domestically and globally, with a variety of compact segments. I must submit that the Italians and Brazilians under Stellantis leadership have done significant work in this...

    EPA Releases Official MPG Numbers For 2025 Ram 1500

    I absolutely love the Pentastar V-6 and it is the main reason I bought a Jeep Cherokee over a Alfa Romeo Stelvio,, it just seemed smoother and offered equivalent power. I have owned three Pentstars and they are so reliable and satisfying to drive. No mater the claims, I don’t like turbo fours...

    Mark Pawuk Wins At First NHRA Factory Stock Showdown Event In 2024

    Mark never mentioned Dodge in his remarks, guess they are not supporting these Challengers. Knew that the Hurricane had no chance and the reliance of the Mopar teams on the old Hemi, just made Dodge walk away. Guess the next generation Charger coupes will need to put Hemis in them or it’s...

    Stellantis Faces Legal Battle Over Jeep® Wrangler 4xe Fires

    One more hole in the electrification wall promigated by extremist environmentalists in and out of governments, pseudo intellectuals doing bogus self serving research at universities and “think tanks” and gullible journalists eager for a woke story line. Poor tree hugging suckers that have been...

    Dodge Still Can’t Come Up With A Sound For The New Charger Daytona

    Commented elsewhere on my Eagle Talon TSI/ AWD that was a blast to race and drive. It’s exhaust note, certainly not a Hemi V-8, was different but enjoyable and communicated to this hot rod addict a clear sound of performance. Never gave it a thought nor will the next generation of Dodge buyers...

    The Details On The 2024 Dodge Charger Daytona Scat Pack

    Dodge was presented with an almost impossible task, the reinvention of the muscle car brand with two new power sources and yet keep the muscle legacy. On first blush they have done everything possible and then some to do the almost impossible. To that, even the critics must applaud. I love Dodge...

    550 HP 2025 Dodge Charger SIX PACK H/O Coupe Coming

    Credit given, let’s face it Dodge did everything possible under the Stellantis green mandates to build a muscle car and they delivered pretty well, praise given for their effort. I do find the new Charger to offer some styling successes but overall the new Charge lacks enough of the aggressive...

    Chrysler Halcyon Concept Made Its First Public Appearance

    392, Let’s consider this concept as inspiration and importantly as evidence that Chrysler needs something spectacular as a halo model for the brand. I’d certainly agree, a sports coupe would fill this role, let’s say a Maserati GT spin off design that exudes Chrysler’s classic design elements...

    Chrysler Halcyon Concept Made Its First Public Appearance

    The concept is clearly not a production proposal and that is not the point. What Halcyon has accomplished is demonstrating to Chrysler loyalist that there is design and engineering life left at Chrysler and we should not panic. Although the Airflow was a good effort, it lacked a distinctive...

    550 HP 2025 Dodge Charger SIX PACK H/O Coupe Coming

    I personally don’t want the plug in hassle with electric, but electric does have a strong appeal factor. I owned and drag raced a mildly modified Eagle Talon TSI AWD with a turbo four and it was a high 12 second blast. The sound was aggressive with the after market exhaust and with the mods and...

    550 HP 2025 Dodge Charger SIX PACK H/O Coupe Coming

    The Six Pack Charger Just might be the model to push the Charger line to new sales figures and wider accessibility to the muscle car market. For me,it’s a game changer.

    Jeep® Confirms 4x4 Capability For Avenger With New 4xe Model

    I see the possibilities with a version of this drive train in a next generation Compass replacement on a global basis. Think Jeep will make this new Compass it’s entry level NA offering in its drive towards simplicity. I agree on butt size, as my only complaint with my Cherokee is the size of...

    New Jeep® CEO Kicks Off His Tenure With A Progressive Start

    Quality and reliability are always important to any brand, but to call Jeeps “junk” is a gross exaggeration of the brand. In my decades long ownership of various Jeeps, I have found them bullet proof reliable. Maybe that does not reflect other common instances, but the basic vehicle is certainly...

    New Jeep® CEO Kicks Off His Tenure With A Progressive Start

    Good news. Jeep obviously, under enormous pressure from the executives at Stellantis, have invested billions of scarce resources on the the “Green Technology” policy foolishness. Let’s hope Filosa’s hints at market based reality changes for Wagoneer S and Recon come to fruition, it’s critical...

    Jeep® Wagoneer S Could Make Its Debut In July

    Hope your sources are partially wrong. Hybrid is fine, but the majority of buyers, me included, will absolutely demand a conventional, hopefully Hurricane six and a base four, both gas engines, for any chance for Cherokee success. My source, my wet finger held in the wind, tells me so. Deep...
