    Range Extended EV (Series Hybrid / REEV) for STLA Large?

    Possibly so ^ but most are going to look at the V6, then look at the price, then ask to see one "that just uses the V6 as the engine" and go that route. A 3.6L sitting at 1800-2300rpm or whatever doesn't make a whole lot of sense. It should be something small and preferably designed just for...

    Range Extended EV (Series Hybrid / REEV) for STLA Large?

    Dont quote me but I believe the Ram would need to be re-crash tested if they decided to swap a 4cyl into it as a generator - and its unfortunate that they didn't.

    Range Extended EV (Series Hybrid / REEV) for STLA Large?

    I think what the International Scout is doing may move the needle. It uses EV motors and has over 1000lbft of torque but uses a 4 cylinder gas engine as the generator. Question is can it be reliable or is it just going to be a typical VAG product

    Stellantis Chairman Met With Trump Before Inauguration

    Once they make the switch back to gas they need to then all rally behind whoever comes after Trump from the R camp. 4 years is nothing in the automotive world, but 12 is a lot when it comes to planning for future products.

    Incoming Presidency demands the selling off the Chrysler, Ram, Jeep

    Some youtubers are sent insider info sporadically, but they also need to put out daily videos to keep the $$$ rolling in so they'll say just about anything for clicks and watch time

    Incoming Presidency demands the selling off the Chrysler, Ram, Jeep

    Daimler had an offer from Magna, but they chose the three headed dog because they would be forced to keep using Daimler parts, where Magna would have cut that off and used their own. IF this is a factual thing (I doubt it) I am sure Elon would be tapped to oversee that it lands in competent...

    Charger Daytona delayed? Prototypes supposedly failing.

    I believe the 82 number. It was probably in the 40 range when they decided to hurry up the gas models

    BREAKING: Chrysler C6X (CA) Electric SUV Development Suspended

    I think its a lack of leadership, she was recently "relieved" of running Ram and will soon be sent packing all together IMO. She can't commit to a product and has spent years bumbling around not being able to make tough decisions. Both of the concepts would be failures in production - the...

    Charger Daytona delayed? Prototypes supposedly failing.

    It does not serve the same demo and never did. The EV is a SUV with $250 per month lease deals. 5.0L's are being treated like they are AMG products $950 per month People shopping at Ford for a people mover are being given Mach E's for less than the Ford Edge they are trading in - its so cheap...

    Charger Daytona delayed? Prototypes supposedly failing.

    Anything with 305's up front and 325's out back will seem to handle well on a twisty road. The car is 6000lbs, the brakes and tires would be fried by lap 5 at a track day

    Charger Daytona delayed? Prototypes supposedly failing.

    You guys are really gonna compare an electric 4 door SUV with a mustang badge thats literally being given away against a low slung coupe with little to no incentives? Sales are also clocked when the car rolls off the assembly line when the dealer gets billed for it - not when someone actually...

    Charger Daytona delayed? Prototypes supposedly failing.

    His assessment was correct, they wined and dined youtubers, some that had never even been to Arizona before and then gave them the red carpet treatment once they arrived. This is all to deter them from saying mean things about the car aka "kill them with kindness". Some of them saw through...

    2024 Dodge Charger Daytona FINALLY Arrives To Dealers

    Look how dirty the silver one is, you can tell it was sitting in a holding yard for weeks and then got a salty ride on a truck to the dealer.

    Where has AlexB been? Stellantis stock tanking

    Had Sergio not stepped up there would be no Chrysler. Anyone blaming Sergio, especially over a half decade since his death is an F'N idiot.

    Charger Daytona delayed? Prototypes supposedly failing.

    You know this is coming, with probably 355's out back - or not, the flares look cheesy on the new charger

    Charger Daytona delayed? Prototypes supposedly failing.

    Yes, regardless how wide the car is. If I mini-tub my car to fit bigger tires it doesnt turn into a wide body lol

    Where has AlexB been? Stellantis stock tanking

    A new version of the ZF8 transmissions have an electric motor right in them, so there's your I4 and I6 hybrids. I "believe" it adds around 250lbft of torque which would help the performance cause. Even better if you could get 50-100 miles pure EV range in some applications too. The V8 will...

    Charger Daytona delayed? Prototypes supposedly failing.

    Regardless how wide the car is, they come stock with 305's front and 325's rear, with no flares. The previous gen wide bodies added the flares so could run 305's. If they add flares to this car, which I assume they will, means it'll fit monster meats under it. This was all built in at the...

    STLA sightings rage on! RAM 1500 REV caught this time.

    Toaster girl sure didnt last long at Ram - why is she still in charge of resuscitating Chrysler then?? Its a way harder job.
