Durango and the RAM "Wagoneer" twin are the only good products I see coming out of this investment. Granted if they can get the RAM out in 2027 as 2028 MY, but I understand them trying to milk the Grand Wagoneer's new pricing before people turn to the cheaper RAM (standard Wagoneer price point...

Love what I'm hearing on the new midsize truck and it's almost certain it'll have the new EVO 4 engine under the hood. The unique chassis has to be some version of the STLA frame since they would likely want it to be similar to the 1500 in some ways. The thing I'm most curious about is the new...

If they are to split, CDJR should be the ones to reform under another banner from the EURO brands. Chrysler and Dodge are specific to the Americas, while RAM and Jeep have branched out to the global market. Americans will not give up their V8s for all this electrification nonsense, but they...

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...
