If you’re a diehard Dodge or monster truck fan, then you’ve probably heard of Hall Brothers Racing. And if you haven’t, you’ve seen their wild factory-backed RAMINATOR or RAMMUNITION trucks crushing cars, pulling wheelies, or flying through the air at monster truck shows across the country.

Now in 2025, Hall Brothers Racing is kicking things up a notch with an all-new look and even a new name for one of their legendary Ram monster trucks.

I know I will get some hate for this, but I really like the Airflow. I would be interested in one of it did make it to production and was offered in ICE or Hybrid. As much as I like it, I would take a hard pass on an EV. I really like the look of this, I don’t see it as a cookie cutter. It looks like an upscale crossover to me. I like the lines and the size. I hope what ever they have planned for this new C6X it does well and get Chrysler back on the map. I am looking forward to its unveiling!!!
 
Everything at this point should be Hybrid.... EVERYTHING. With EV option. No more Torque Converters.

STLA is woefully behind. These are not new systems anymore, market has spoken. Have a Parasitic launch system is just not competitive in todays marketplace.

I hope all these delays are just to catch up and offer Hybrids .... instead of exclusively ICE or exclusively EV. I suppose Airflow was targeted EV only and on a dead platform. Everything that was originally EV only is criminally behind from a launch perspective. T
 
Finally they get it. I always considered Chrysler a direct competitor to Cadillac and Lincoln, BMW and Mercedes especially with my last Chrysler 300 Limited that had a real luxury look, feel and amenities, even a retractable rear window curtain at an affordable price.
It should be easy enough for Chrysler to emulate that look, feel and amenities in future products and the hybrid decision is absolutely a necessity. As an Airflow critic I had nothing against its overall design, just its choice of a front end signature look which was indistinguishable to all the cookie cutter faces which had no Chrysler identity. To me, that look, that signature is key to success and a selection of all three power versions is the only viable path forward. Jeep must do the same for the Wagoneer S and Recon.
As of right now I’m holding off trading in my 2019 Jeep Cherokee, a wonderful SUV, until that Chrysler version launches.
 
I was a fan of the original Chrysler Airflow, even though I was not born yet when it was introduced. I always admired the styling of it and always impressed with Chrysler's outstanding engineering throughout the decades. I don't understand why the original was not a hit with consumers. And I liked the recent Airflow concept that we got a peek at even though it was somewhat shelved. Crossing my fingers to see what they do with the C6X. At this point it just needs to be a solid, attractive and luxurious vehicle that has the major bugs worked out prior to release. As far as powertrain, I think hybrid is the way to go for now.
 
So if this is debuting at the end of the year to be produced as a 27MY then the design must be cemented. I suppose they will finally show something by the end of the year. With the V8s returning, not sure if they'll use any of them in these new Chryslers or use the I6/supplemented by electrical assistance for maximum power, like Toyota. For now just premiering the new design will give people a reason to be exciteed and decide if they are going to wait for this new model or move to something else.

@TripleT
What do "yee-haw" about "affordable price".... this is a mid $40,000 Crossover..
This is where the "rubber meets the road"...
 
At this point , forgive me for being a total doubter about ANYTHING that is “announced”, given the complete five year melt down we have all witnessed. I’ll believe it when I can sit in the seat at the local dealership. Until then, it’s all words.

You shouldn't get any hate. You like what you like. I think it's an attractive vehicle, especially in the black color scheme, although it's bit bland.
 
Fingers crossed. I'm waiting Chrysler. Give me a product to consider in about 3 or 4 years.

I agree. We have witnessed this same song and dance from the various versions of this company for years. Announce, delay, walk back, announce again, cancel, announce again, delay, announce again but years out, delay....it goes on and on and on.
 
Several models made it too the last gate, and couldn't get the ROI sorted to be implemented... When you listen to people talk about Cadillac as Kia price... you can see why.
 
But the truth remains
