If you guys are OK with your car sounding like a dirt bike, why didn't you already buy one of the 16 available from ANY brand? HARD pass for me. I still think sales on this will be much greater than the EV but much lower than the V8s.

And if that were ALL they sold, would they survive?

I don't understand why they can't understand this. You can put a 4 or 6 cylinder in any car in your portfolio BUT NOT THE MUSCLE CARS. Buyers in that segment have specific desires and modifications in mind and they do not want a car that sounds like a dirt bike. It's like if McDonald's said you...

Am I seeing correctly that they are going to sell RHO and TRX side by side? That will be interesting for a number of reasons....

I SAW A HORNET TODAY! I took a pic because I figured nobody would believe me. First one I've seen on public roads!

I agree. The Ford Maverick works because it actually somewhat resembles a pickup. It's not hideous. The pictures I've seen of the Rampage are hideous. A U.S. Rampage would need a major sheetmetal workover.

Easy call for them to make, seeing as how they weren’t selling any of those cars anyhow. I still have not seen a single one on public roads here in Kentucky. Not one.

Why FWD? Unless you just enjoy owning a vehicle that's hard to work on, expensive to work on, has weird driving dynamics, and won't last as long. Do a RWD car for $29,995 base price, $34,995 nicely equipped, that's nimble and efficient and fun to drive. THAT would sell like hotcakes.

Please explain to me why the V8 engine still outsells every other option in GM trucks? They've got a little 4-banger turbo. Heck they've got a 6 cylinder diesel that is by far the most fuel efficient engine in the lineup. Why doesn't it outsell the V8s? It's cheaper, more fuel efficient...

Dodge Charger went from 40k units annually to under 2k units as soon as they went EV. EV is the issue. Even GM, which you noted has the largest portfolio of EVs, is still only seeing less than 15% of their sales from EVs. Capacity isn't the problem. Three or four years ago CDJR was at the...

G A S P . . . . you mean taking away the powertrains people love and replacing them with "vastly superior" tiny displacement turbo engines caused sales to collapse?? Say it ain't so!

A burnt orange metallic similar to Sinnamon Stick would be an amazing color on this car.

You're making the same mistake so many other people are making. You're regurgitating the "Hurricane is superior!" myth based solely upon ONE metric: horsepower on paper. Here's the reality: the Hurricane engine, like most engines from Europe, has been littered with problems. And, since it's...

Yep, 18-20 MPG in every vehicle I've ever had a 3.6L P-star in (Challenger, Wrangler, Gladiator, Grand Cherokee) and no direct injection which is so helpful. My last one (2020 Grand Cherokee) had 202,000 on the odometer when I traded it in back in January. No repairs except a water pump. Much...

I mean, I think they have to. This truck will have to tow a minimum of 7,500 lbs. with SAE J2807 certification to compete. 8,000 lbs. would actually be a smart target considering that the main competitors are at 7,700. And you are not doing that with a tiny little 2.0L engine, turbos or not...
