The only thing I know is this company was humming 2010-2019 with Pentastar and Hemis.
It’s not on me to prove anything - go look up the financial results yourself.
The Hurricane is a failure - huge flop. Zero of the CDJR owner base wants it, and they can’t move anything on the lot today.
Go...
Cadillac is absolutely a 95% BEV brand in North America as of the 2027 MY. The only exception to this the ICE Escalade.
2026 MY is the last MY for the XT5, XT6, CT4, and CT5.
China will still have Cadillac ICE.
The investment for STLA Large BEV should be totally written off and replaced with series hybrid on STLA Large, for 2028 MY and beyond.
Let Europe pay for pure BEV on STLA Medium. Let Alfa and Chrysler have series hybrid on STLA Large.
Alfa and Chrysler could be the coachworked hybrid STLA Large brands. If you really want to push the needle, they could be series hybrid brands. Skip BEV and just do series hybrid and MHEV.
Alfa brings nothing to the table for STLA Medium and under - already covered by Peugeot, Citroen, and...
Chrysler should be the only brand in the portfolio that has EVs. The EV Charger is a flop and the EV Wagoneer S is a flop. The Recon EV will also be a flop. Dodge and Jeep owners do not want full BEV.
It would have been unique for Chrysler to have its own unique BEV offerings for STLA Large...
Hardly any of the existing V6 and V8 CDJR owners are looking to replace their vehicle with one that -
1) Costs 15% more
2) Has a more complex, and subsequently less reliable turbo I6 that has 1 or 2 MPG improvement vs the V6 naturally aspirated Pentastar
The I6 is a total failure. A clean...
Good God you are dense. They made all their profit from 2010-2020 from V6s (Grand Cherokee, Durango, Wrangler) and V8s (high trim Charger, Challenger, Durango, Grand Cherokee SRT back when they made one)
2026 Ram 1500 Ramcharger electric pickup promises to have it all
"The goal is to be “slightly higher than” the average transaction price of an internal combustion pickup, Kuniskis said, before launching into an ode to a hypothetical electric pickup priced at $69,985."
That sentence is...
I don't know, it's almost as if betting on EVs and losing Billions was an ever worse idea. I mean, pay the carbon credits and tack it onto the following model year vehicle price - who cares. That's more or less what Toyota is doing (along with going all-in on hybrids), right?
Or maybe they should have told the EPA and previous government - "go ahead, fine me", kind of like how Elon is approaching hands free driving.
And had they bet on Trump winning, another prediction I made that ended up coming true, they could be building V8s without a care in the world, without...
When the losses begin to stack up, you’ll see how quickly things will change. That’s a pet project that will melt under scrutiny.
Look at how much has changed just since the start of this year. And remember, Stellantis US operations lost $1.8 billion in the second half of calendar 2024.
How...
They lose money on every one they sell, huge money - we're talking billions. Look at Ford with the Mach E and F-150 Lightning - they lost $5.1 BILLION on EVs in 2024. This company cannot afford losses of that magnitude, like Ford and GM can. So they will just cancel it.
Wouldn't be surprised...
Compass doesn't really move the needle (pun intended) for profits in North America. It's really not a competitive product vs Toyota / GM / etc.
Where CDJR has unique offerings - V6s and V8s in the Wrangler, Gladiator, and Grand Cherokee - they win. It's that simple. They are now deviating from...
