Traded my Dodge gas guzzler for an Omni O24 way back when. Loved the looks, but it disappointed me real bad. Underpowered, terrible build quality it was my only flawed Mopar in my 60 years of Mopar only ownership. Faith was restored when I traded it for a Dodge Daytona Turbo Z that was a...

Wondering too Pat, but so far Jeep is surprising me on what is coming. I’m really impressed, with the Compass, much more so than with the Cherokee, they have really created something special…IF. The big if for Jeep is if the just launched Hurricane four is offed as the ICE option in both these...

Big news. It fits, it’s coming and it can restore the magic of Dodge. Dodge needs to expand the performance themed lineup. 1- Challenger/Cuda shorter muscle car with very different styling from Charger but the same combo of engines. Effectively a shorter Charger spin off. 2-Midsize STLA lineup...

The Kool-Aid designation holds true, but let’s hope the antidote is the roaring American economy and the Mighty Mouse effect of our amazing President. What is that melody, that tune I hear in the distance, now I grasp the words and the melody, 🎺 🎹 🥁 🎼Hear I come to save the day🎼🎼🎼 …that means...

How could this Mopar enthusiast not comment. Trying not to be verbose. 1-Good and timely upgrades, more aggressive at last. 2-The hood is a must have, but not at that price. An affordable similar one needed. 3-Who needs carbon fiber spoilers? Not me, not at those prices. Ditto something...

This engine is just what Stellantis needs to drive its mid-full-size offerings for the future. Very impressive.

Really interested, the new engine sounds amazing, so far. I have ten months in my SUV replacement game plan for something new so I’ve got time for the reviews, reliability data and all important test drives before deciding. I sure hope Jeep keeps some chrome accents and bright wheels in the mix...

My impression on this Ram mid-size is that management has done a real evaluation of mistakes made on the last mid-size thus creating a mission of delivering a great product regardless of costs and offering real market driven value with emphasis on pricing and capability. I agree, looks are not...

This is a sign of senior management maturity, of dealing in reality not a fantasy driven ideological coercion policy that obscures the truth. In a world often driven by feel good intentions that blunder through life blindly, it takes vision , clarity and just plain common sense to manage a sound...

Ruin a company / write a book. The arrogance never ends with this guy. Guy needs a good a— kicking. Back in the day I’d take his lunch money from him as a mercy tribute. Jerk.

I like the idea.

Seems almost like a never ending nightmare, Mexico has a Journey, Brazil a Rampage and a Renegade and we got paper weights in the Wagoneer S and the Charger Daytona, Recon to follow. Is it possible we have gone so far wrong, our pipeline of new product is delayed beyond imagination and what we...

How much more embarrassment can Jeep take over its ill conceived electrification blunders ? And now they launch a concocted hybrid only powered Cherokee that spells more potential bad results for this nonsensical blundering in a segment where they had big success. A vital segment abandoned by an...

I awaited with anticipation for this new Cherokee, certainty to fill the huge hole in the Jeep lineup, but also to replace my soon eight year old Cherokee. Boy am I disappointed, I just don’t like it. I don’t like the boxy styling, especially the front with that odd plastic accents on the lower...

How I miss my Dodges on the race circuit. I don’t watch NASCAR after Dodge exited and it’s amazing how I’ve lost any interest. As a true performance brand Dodge must be deeply involved in NASCAR Cup and NHRA Factory Stock and Stock Eliminator classes much more than currently with competitive new...
