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...

Btw, here's proof of your Chrysler SUV hybrid: https://www.stellpower.com/news-2025/chrysler-to-do-hybrid-crossover-gasoline-and-hybrid-minivan/

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...

Scarce to you, some of us look to other sources and have been for awhile.

Then I'd advise you to start following this guy, he's been on the money with everything that's been happening with Stellantis. Every time he's spoken it's happened.

Not likely the final nail since Chrysler is likely to get a version of the Charger and the introduction of their new SUV at the end of the year to be a 2026MY, both as hybrid models. Chrysler's CEO should have quickly followed up her interview with at least teasers of the new products design...

This engine might work for entry level models, but most people are going to want something with more power for a vehicle this size. I get why they would use the 1.6T because everything else in this segment besides the Tiguan is using a similar size powerplant. Unless with Tavares gone, they...

It didn't happen fast enough. Now if the rumors are true that CDJR will be separated from Stellantis and given freedom, we could be seeing some real models return to these brands. Chrysler can move back into its more premium positioning, so Jeep can return to handling real offroaders. RAM is...

I agree, "Take my money"!!!! This will be interesting to see how they utilize this transmission with the new models.

Tell me more about this transmission, I'm curious on your thoughts on how this will align with upcoming models?
