    Chrysler Isn’t Dead: Big Changes And New Vehicles Coming In 2026

    I appreciate the thoughtful replies to my post. And I understand that Stellantis has fixed platforms that all vehicles must use. I just think for Chrysler to return to glory that it needs an all new vehicle as far as the exterior and interior design are concerned. And sheet metal not from Jeep...

    Chrysler Isn’t Dead: Big Changes And New Vehicles Coming In 2026

    I'll believe this when I see it. And I think Fuell should be gone. Chrysler needs someone at the top with vision that loves cars and wants to change the world. Chrysler needs someone with that kind of spirit and energy and not just another yes man (woman in this case) doing someone else's...

    Meet The All-New 2026 Jeep® Recon Moab 4xe

    Looks great and would stack up well against the Ford Bronco if it had an ICE powertrain. I'm sure Jeep is already working on that, though.

    Elkann To EU: Rethink 2035 Engine Ban Before It’s Too Late

    He's correct on numerous fronts. It was a political message as much as it is a business strategy. I doubt the bureaucrats in Brussels will listen, though. I never understood the reasoning why the only path forward for autos was BEV. All other technologies were shunned. Hydrogen and other ICE...

    FIRST DRIVE: 2026 Dodge Charger Daytona Scat Pack 4DR

    I prefer the 2 door coupe look better. It's sportier and will be a stiffer chassis. 550 HP is a lot in a car and the car looks comfortable and fun to drive. I like the hatchback idea as I can get my golf clubs in and out easier. It seems to get good MPG too. I hope this car is a hit and we see...

    Ram Rampage Spotted Testing In Italy The Same Day As Fieracavalli Announcement

    So, again, Fiat gets the jump on Ram and the NA brands. I'm sure this was planned a while back under the former management team. They starved us for new product while helping themselves at the trough of product development monies.

    Dodge Opens Orders For 2026 Charger Scat Pack SIXPACK Four-Door

    It's hard to make a business case for a manual transmission for any vehicle in the US these days. Outside the US, manuals are still pretty common and more reliable. As an enthusiast, I enjoy driving a manual as it is just fun to feel the car and run it through the gears. But how many would you...

    Ram Rampage Spotted Testing In Italy The Same Day As Fieracavalli Announcement

    Why isn't this handsome truck not in the North American market? It's got to be better than the fugly Ford Maverick.

    Stellantis to Invest $13 Billion to Grow in the United States

    I understand that many Canadians may not like what is going on with Stellantis right now but as a lifelong US citizen, I am thrilled to see the investment in my country. With AI coming, we need the jobs for our citizens if we are to survive in the new economy. I've worked in Canada and I know...

    Mopar Teases Purple Dodge Charger SIXPACK For SEMA

    What I like about the new upcoming Charger Six Pack is that it is more of a grand tourer type of car. It exudes power and a bit of retro styling with all the modern electronic gizmos and comforts that we've come to love. Plus, it should be quiet and smooth on the freeways for long trips or just...

    Stellantis Commits $13 Billion To Boost U.S. Production and Jobs

    While I'm a bit sad for Canada, I'm ecstatic for the USA. We need the jobs and the investment in our future. Ottawa needs to get off their perch and strike a deal with Trump if it isn't already too late. Canada has been extremely protective of their markets and jobs for a long time and prevented...

    Stellantis May Rethink Mexico Manufacturing Strategy

    Hey man, the USA is 37 trillion in debt and counting. The interest on that debt is over 1 trillion a year and growing. If we don't make that payment every year then we default. We cannot continue printing money as has been the status quo while the deficit balloons further out of control. Plus...

    Stellantis Eyes $10 Billion Investment Push in U.S.

    For some reason this company has to be on the brink of death before it turns itself around. Historically, this has happened over and over for Chrysler. And it continues now even under foreign ownership. I think Elkann stepped in and reset the direction of the American brands and this will...

    Stellantis Eyes $10 Billion Investment Push in U.S.

    Finally. This is what we have been needing. Investment in the US for new product.
