    Tiny Topolino Touches Down In The U.S.

    In niches like this, yes quadracycles and GEM vehicles make sense. In areas where they aren't on public roads (in the US) this makes sense. Camp Grounds, golf courses, senior communities, campus security vehicles etc. these low speed vehicles work great. The direction that I was going with my...

    Tiny Topolino Touches Down In The U.S.

    Stellantis needs vehicles like these in several markets, mostly like Africa, Europe and Latin/South America, India and the far east electric quadricycles and full BEV vehicles need to be the mainstay of Stellantis' market globally. JUST NOT IN THE USA.

    CAUGHT: 2026 Dodge Charger Outlaw Rips Through Detroit Streets

    This car is going to be a beast once the aftermarket gets their hands on it. I remember back several years ago when I was working at American Muscle and Ford was just switching over to the Coyote 5.0L V8. At the time, the 412hp 5.0L was light years ahead of the old 3V, which mustered up about...

    CAUGHT: 2026 Dodge Charger Outlaw Rips Through Detroit Streets

    Lets ****ing Go! I'm sold! That's stock and it sounds like that. I'm sold! Shut up and take my money at this point! The car itself is drop dead freaking gorgeous. It sounds good, it makes power, it's all-wheel-drive, even the GT comes in at 420hp stock so you know what, this works for me. My...

    Balancing it all out with hybrids wouldn't be the worst idea

    Dodge Postpones Production Of The 2026 Hornet

    Honestly, this is actually perfect. Have this hornet completely discontinued and have it come back as a performance car on the STLA Medium platform with two door hatch and four door models with the hidden hatchback design inspired by the Charger. Have this car in GT, R/T, GLH, ACR & SRT4 Super...

    Low-Mile Legend: 2005 Ram Daytona 4×4 with Just 32K Miles

    STLA medium platform could actually produce a plethora of vehicles that would actually be pretty decent. The 2010 Jeep Grand Cherokee fit within these parameters as did the Nitro, 200, Avenger are just three examples of what could be for some upcoming vehicles. Direct Connection GLH & SRT4 could...

    Low-Mile Legend: 2005 Ram Daytona 4×4 with Just 32K Miles

    This is in response to the article about the FWD entry level car. I've mentioned a car like this a few times before and actually very recently but in ways, a little different than what was mentioned in the article today. The STLA Medium platform specs out with a wheelbase range of 106.3" to...

    Dodge Sales Collapse by Nearly 50% in First Half of 2025

    I think we all can point out reasons to why Stellantis North America isn't doing well right now. From having that horrible former CEO Carlos Tavares, quality issues, rushed products, unwanted products, brands with literally nothing to offer, etc. The brand is in a bad spot at the moment. I've...

    Ram’s Upcoming Midsize Pickup Will Be Body-On-Frame

    From a personal perspective. I'm overjoyed that the brand is getting back to being a brand of the people and a brand that us as enthusiasts may one day be happy with. Now I could be way off my rocker here with his but I think the Ram brand would do well to sell both a STLA:Large platform Midsize...

    Tim Kuniskis to Lead Stellantis American Brands as SRT Returns

    In a previous comment, I mapped out, what I thought of course, a workable solution for a few insanely powerful SRT4 and SRT6 Variants utilizing a high output version of the Hurricane-4 2.0L Turbocharged Inline-4, the High output Hurricane-6 3.0L Twin Turbo I-6 engine along with the new Hybrid...

    Tim Kuniskis to Lead Stellantis American Brands as SRT Returns

    If we're going to put in our "hopes and dreams" wish lists for what we want to see in the upcoming SRT vehicles here's mine! I definitely want to see SRT across ALL of the brands, including Chrysler, if the brand actually does have a future. I want to see Direct Connection get a MAJOR...

    Tim Kuniskis to Lead Stellantis American Brands as SRT Returns

    Hopefully the SRT4 cars can be STLA Large platform RWD based AWD vehicles. 2.0L Hybrid Turbo cars

    Ram Isn’t Saying NO To A 5.7-liter HEMI® RHO

    What's really sad is that they didn't do any more with the 5.7L Hemi than they did. I remember back a few years ago Mopar had that "Scat Pack" kit for the 5.7L that put it up to like 450hp with a decent amount of torque and that was pretty much just a head and cam kit from the 6.4L with a Scat...
