I would pick up where the 1998 Eclipse and Eagle Talon left off. You can sell a sporty FWD version for a low price point, a mid range AWD version and a killer top tier SRT turbo AWD version. It'll be a funnel for younger people into the Dodge brand, have a cult following and when they want to...

Actually they were the most profitable automaker, try to keep up. Stock price July 1999 $72.12 Stock price as of now $10.07 Out of touch? And get this - people were actually working and making money at all the supplier plants, Chrysler plants, dealerships and everything else associated with...

Affordability is more important than ever. I remember not very long ago you could get a Chrysler minivan for about $18,000. The plant ran 24/7 building them, the dealerships couldn't keep them in stock and families had affordable transportation. Whoever had a problem with that and decided to...

You can only do so much to help the Grand Wagoneer or Recon. I think both should have been totally different designs from the start

Santa Cruz is a borderline flop. Maverick sold 100K more than it last year

Yeah but they only sold 50 cars a year back then. To keep those margins with real volume would mean copying Mercedes / BMW / Audi in dealer network, dealer experience and brand portfolio. FCA never had the money to pull that off, Stellantis doesn't either.

Thing is they "use" all the brands to make one full line up of vehicles. What use to be covered under one brand umbrella, cars, trucks, SUV's, off road etc they now do with a handful of brands. In this case its fine to use SRT as the performance arm for all of them. I probably wouldn't slap...

Everything benefits from good things at the top. Tim said after the hellcat came out they sold more scat packs, as they sold more scat packs they sold more R/T's. Its been a good road map for them and I am glad to see them getting back on it.

It looks more and more just like the last one but more squared off

Important piece I missed: Sources have told the Star that Stellantis is also exploring offering the high-performance Hellephant engine that produces 1,000 horsepower in the Charger. “We haven’t seen the Hemi V-8 yet,” said Fiorani of the future production data that projects out to about 18...

Mercedes level in the playing field with Mercedes incentives and dealer experience but not their bloated line up of offering everything under the sun with 4 wheels. An SLK type small coupe/roadster, larger coupe/roadster they already have, a C/E class tweener, the CUV/SUVs they already have and...

I'd only focus on Maserati for that, it just has more luxury brand appeal globally than Alfa Romeo. If a better 3 series couldn't get lift off for Alfa nothing will, and if you're going to make it a SUV/CUV brand then you've completely lost the plot. Under current trends Maserati makes way...

I thought they already were?

Neat execution and talent for whoever welded it together but he absolutely used the wrong roof. The deceased former owner / creator use to get into very heated debates over his use of a fury? roof for it. It goes up for sale annually it seems, someone needs to put the proper roof on it.
