As always the market place will decide if the EV's stick around. As for myself my bet is on the hybrids for now.

Mopar 392 please explain what changing the oil pump entails for those that don't know . The oil pump cost is small compared to the labor for stripping down the front of the engine and removing the front pulley/balancer, etc. The Hellcat oil pump should have been standard across all Hemi engines...

The infamous Hemi camshaft failures usually occurs around appox. 100k - 115k miles, well out of warranty ! That is the cause of the class action lawsuits. I was shocked a few years ago when I learned how wide spread this issue is costing $4 to $5K to remedy unless the metal shavings got into...

The fact that STLA has not made any statements regarding the poor upper end oiling issues in all Hemi's which causes roller lifter failures and eats the camshaft means more of the same ! It would take too much to remedy the block casting adding oiling and opening up passages ! ? Perhaps STLA is...

Meanwhile Dodge and RAM continue to offer the public even larger vehicles ? The FORD Maverick stole the sales show yet Dodge refused to get a piece of that action. " Just a day late and a penny short " seems to be their motto. STLA N. America needs some sales winner FAST ! With STLA stock stuck...

What the Hemi engine planners need to do is correct the oiling issue to the cam and lifters as well as the exhaust manifold bolts breaking. You just can't keep selling engines with know serious issues as the class action lawsuits keep piling up ! Then there is the Pentastar V6 top end rockers...

As I under stood it people were saying the EV Charger was/is the widest US auto period as well as way too long. This over weight oik car needs a replacement not a Hemi V8 ! Of course bringing a totally new vehicle to market takes years not months. So perhaps the current oik car will have to...

AMEN !

"New SUV " ? Take a brick and put a 2/3 size brick on top, push the top brick back to line up with the rear of the base brick, round off the corners and we have a SUV ! Magic ? Or cookie cutter ? Then price it comparable others in it's class and we have a failure ? It's going to take more than a...

New Chief Quality Officer ? Where to start is the question as Carlos gutted QC to save $$ !

Mean while back in the USSA ....................................................

I recall GM coming out with small 2 seat sports cars in 2006, Pontiac Solstic and Saturn Sky . Both flopped I think because GM only offered a 4 banger engine. YET, GM had blueprints for installing a V8 into the twins ! Those would have been dangerously fast and I think that's why GM canned the...

Aaah ALLPAR, I was warned after I posted ," Chrysler should be listed on the Chicago Commidites Exchange because it is bought and sold like one ".

Step right up and get your 5800 pound muscle car, oink.

Hmmmm ? What do the consumers WANT ? FORD and GM V8 PU trucks sales doing great, what does that tells us? The Toyota RAV4 is the best selling SUV in it's class, the dealers can't keep the hybrid models in stock. Sport car sales are tanking as they always do when a recession hits, no mystery...
