Now we might have something here. Definitely a huge step in the right direction. Let's start selling some cars now.

There is something about that rear quarter styling that is not quite right. But the interior room is maximized. I'm hoping the upcoming refresh tweaks that area a bit. Maybe adorn it with lights like Cadillac did. And I like that the Grand Wagoneer trim levels can be had on the Wagoneer. Not...

I've seen a few here in Houston, TX and I've even ridden in one. I thought it was a solid and comfortable car.

Not to get political, but it's a shame that the EU is playing hard ball on tarriff talks with the Trump Admin. I have no doubt that Meloni would have struck a deal long ago that is beneficial to both Italy and the US. I liked this car and understand why it made sense to build it in Italy...

Body on frame seems right to me for a mid size truck. It is a little more costly but it affords a lot more capability for things that trucks need to do. Hopefully, they add the Rampage to the North American market which is a unibody, smaller truck. Then everyone can be happy. I'd love to see the...

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.
