MAKE it so

He has got it backassward ..... when margins turned upside down, Honda and Toyota didn't stop building product, they doubled down on product. They didn't idle nearly half the capacity, they made sure that capacity was full. They didn't add product complexity they removed it. Nearly every...

Yes CUV is just the return of the upright vehicles that predated the 60s. Ifs all about efficiency between the wheels, especially since vehicle given speed limits and suspension and safety. Sedan is not the best way to move goods and people. Chrysler bigger issue is the redefinition of...

In the Ram it going to just run an inverter. The under hood space is massive as it can fit the i6 the way god intended a engine to run.

Some of these arguments are sad because it makes you dig into what was once one the best powerplants in the world. In a static environment its not a bad arguement. The problem is that it is not a static environment and market place moves on. I loved my Pentastar vehicles at the time, I loved...

People continue to project their own bias into the market place. That one would say put a lazy old powertrain in it or I won't buy it, shows it. Please Please put something that is heavy, underpowered, poorly packaged, and less efficient..... is NOT a broader market position. Lets sit it...

I am tired of asking for this... Tipo is right near the Port ...... Shipping from Turkey is reasonable... Why we haven't had a Dodge Tipo Wagon Sport... to fill the bottom of the lineup for the last decade is Maddening. Spent 2 weeks with one in Italy is a fine little economy car even with the...

Recon will be way more expensive

Why then is Toyota is moving all Hybrids? People do not equate EVs with Hybrids at all, and EV interesting is not shrinking it just not growing as fast the product planner envisioned. Many model now, sales are being limited not because of Hybrids but because for the lack of capacity in...

You can have the best product ever designed, it could be truly innovative in materials and assembly to be the most cost effective and therefore the best margined vehicle in history of the world. If your capacity is hugely underutilized the cost structure due to fixed cost will eat it margins...

product, pricing, and quality..... all are important.... But without production there is NO cash flow. STLA has entirely too much of it capacity currently idle for various reasons, mostly for product change over, the entire thing is cluster. Say want you want about SM but he was Keenly aware...

Getting Capacity sorted.

y'all do realize the GM and Ford are have nothing but trouble with these engines they have made for decades. This all marketing... Heritage models for Ram might make sense if mark it up accordling. Low volume V8s for SRT where your exposer is limited. Low volume TRX again... Low exposer...
