Best news I've seen in a while. Even SRT is back.

We can't have another product release that is not ready for prime time. It costs the company dearly in reputation and future buyers. I'd rather delay the launch and have every little bug worked out in advance rather than meeting some innocuous deadline. Also, there is not much of a demand for...

Interesting perspective. So if Italian brands like Maserati and Alfa are to be more successful in the US, they need their own dealerships with staff that is intimately familiar with the brands. I think that is understandable. And it doesn't surprise me that corporate suits have mismanaged...

Where are we going to get a V-10 these days? I know the purists always say that the Viper can only have a V-10. I sure wish that could be the case myself but we barely got the V-8's back. Right now I'd take a new Viper with a V-8 over no Viper at all. We have no halo car for the US. If not...

I do think Dodge and Maserati should cooperate on a new Viper or other Dodge performance vehicle or vehicles. Same for Alfa and Dodge. The Dodge versions could have a little different body style and V8 engines to have a more American muscle car appearance and feel. The Italians are great at...

I like the fastback premium SUV's. And I think Chrysler can compete with Mercedes and BMW. If they can't, then they shouldn't be in the car business.

Stellantis always seems to be a day late and a dollar short. They keep trying to build a product that someone else is already making without any improvement or much difference to set them apart from the competition. I remember when Chrysler was an innovator. Seeing some of the throwback concept...

I was a fan of the original Chrysler Airflow, even though I was not born yet when it was introduced. I always admired the styling of it and always impressed with Chrysler's outstanding engineering throughout the decades. I don't understand why the original was not a hit with consumers. And I...

Stellantis stock price is down again today. We need to see some bold moves and new product to reverse this trend. I sure hope Filosa can pull this off. I applaud his words to the employees and his dedication to making a lifelong career at Stellantis. Elkann certainly made some quick and bold...

I view this as a very good thing. Elkann is playing with the big boys. I think this bodes well for Stellantis.

I do not own a Hornet but have ridden in one and they are great cars. I don't know why the media here pans the Hornet but praises the Tonale, which is the same car. And I think the Wagoneer was a good gamble for Jeep. I see a lot of them on the roads in Texas. Stellantis may have botched the...

I've had the pleasure of visiting Naples, Amalfi, Rome, Florence, etc... It was a trip of a lifetime. I'd go again in a heartbeat. The cuisine is always fresh and delicious. They eat real, fresh, healthy food there. And then there is the wine... My first choice for the new CEO is Manley because...

I'm sure hoping the Six Pack versions take off. Personally, I was never excited about an electric Charger coupe or sedan. But the coupe is a good looking car. I have seen only 1 Charger on the roads around Houston and none anywhere else that I have travelled. It's pretty much a dud so far. I...

Beautiful car. It's an instant classic. Any idea what this will go for?

While I am not sure what the exact differences are between the Brazil and USA requirements for crash standards and emissions standards, I cannot fathom a top tier auto company not designing a new vehicle that couldn't be easily adapted to both markets. Stellantis has starved the US market for...
