Totally agree with Triple as to making the big inevitable move, not sure on the site as I believe there will be a need, short term, for a bunch of new product that will need an assembly line that is flexible for three or four different brand offerings. I’m thinking Cherokee, Compass, Dodge...

Very well done inside and out. Please give us a gas powered version for North America. Build it here (Belvedere?)with a Dodge Hornet replacement spin off and we should be good to go with two volume compact SUVs for North America. Big step up on content and market range offerings. Good job Jeep...

I’m OK with a GT entry model, but that “Outlaw” moniker is not working for me. It will probably get push back from some purists as inappropriate and odd, like me, and there are names in the Dodge nomenclature that can work better. Let’s reevaluate this one Dodge. Trust me on this. To the...

My Dodge lineup: STLA Medium- Midsize performance coupe/sedan and a Hornet SUV replacement- 3 vehicles. STLA Luxury Large- Charger coupe/sedan, Challenger/Cuda coupe, Stealth SUV and a Durango SUV replacement- 5 vehicles. MASERATI Shared Platform- Next generation Viper Mid Engine built off...

IMO the Charger Six Pack should come bare bones and then have buyers select items or a package from ANY of the Charger models. Bigger Scat Pack brakes, wheels, interior upgrades, exterior enhancements. Looking with my eyes I see a last generation Demon hood scoop opening fitting neatly into this...

Has anyone noticed or did I miss it, there is no Scat Pack emblem on the front fender. That’s step one in becoming, as one blogger noted, “bad ass”. Might I suggest the computer talented, create some of your add on computerized designs and share with us. The Charger is our personal blank sheet...

Now this is more like it. I’m more interested in the Six Pack AWD than a RWD Hemi, which powers my current Challenger that is amazing, but this setup addresses the biggest issue with my Dodge, uncontrollable tire spin, even from my very satisfying 5.7 automatic. I avoid wet weather driving and...

I have made some harsh statements about the Dodge Daytona, but every time I look at this car, those statements seem to exceed my limits of objectivity. Currently I have begun to see some real potential for the Charger in some niche of the market and accessories and graphics might hold the key to...

Im waiting on the new Cherokee that seems destined for hybrid power. I much prefer a gas only power train, but the approach taken with the Brazilian Commander has caught my attention. It’s now a “weak maybe” if it is something like this driven by the transmission hybrid, like that idea. Some...

Just in case you need any more support for you clear, common sense, business case logical and necessary quick implementation on this, I add a RESOUNDING “ YES !!! “ I know two regular guys who could help these guys, and I sure Tim is on board too, to get this ball rolling. YES !

Time to act on this Rampage. This idea has been bounced around, analyzed and advocated for at least a year and still no decision. If we start today we are looking at a year or more to get it to market. So much time wasted on something that looks prime time right now. A tweak here, a tuck there...

I’m a fan of most anything Italian, my son owns a Stelvio, so I’m interested big time. I am Mopar to the bone, so I guess this brand, forced by corporate acquaintance, is semi-Mopar, and I’m half Italian, sooooo, it’s all in the family. Pizza anyone ?

Thanks for agreeing, but I rarely take or advocate much I write as deeply held dogma or absolute opinion , properly viewed it is often for amusement or entertainment as I deliberately mix in some silly opinions. That said, I do like that Charger. Seriously. Initially I thought the V-8 was not...

The “Golden Age of America” is dawning and the U.S. auto businesses will be a big part of that renaissance. The Belvedere community must give this revolution of prosperity time to develop, but make no mistake, these temporary bargaining tool tariffs will fuel additional non taxation government...

Good news for upstate New York which has been devastated by economic decline and huge population loss to “greener pastures”. New York, few people know, has such natural beauty, lakes and mountains that rival much more recognized regions and is dotted by quant and once viable towns and cities...
