So you can't even do a burnout in the current car? I thought all along they promised that AWD would have a button to shut it off when the driver wanted?? They absolutely gutted the soul out of this car. It's nothing but an appliance that happens to look good.

Awesome, OTA updates now which means they can monitor anytime the engine is modified. Who wants control of their own property these days anyhow? Lots of changes to the engine EXCEPT the roller rocker valvetrain which has been problematic. Genius. A "revised" version of the problematic CP4...

That's exactly what I'm saying. It's extremely easy to tell the reviewers who are being honest versus the ones who are kissing @** so they'll get invited to more press events. Side note: Almost all the reviewers have said the exact same thing I've said; this new car looks amazing inside and...

I heard that the Stellantis top leadership was so unhappy about the reviews from press week with the new Charger they've decided to delay it AGAIN and manually software update every single car before sending them to dealers. I don't think I've seen a glowing review of the new car yet. At least...

So the lease "deal" shown on the website as of today is for the Daytona R/T for $611/month with $5,200 down on a 36 month term. That INCLUDES the $7,500 tax credit factored in. OUCH. So with the MSRP on the example car being $66,500 that means the effective residual value on the car at the...

I wish the Six Pack version was going to get the 6-speed manual. That's a shame. Ford proved that people still want them. When the new S650 platform Mustang debuted a year or so ago almost 30% of orders were manuals.

And right on cue... in the continued push away from EV, Ram announces today that the Ram REV is being pushed to 2026 and the Ramcharger is being moved forward to early 2025. Tim Kuniskis is already making positive changes. Now....if we can just squeeze the 6.4 Hemi into the Laramie models...

Frankly, the reason they moved so many JL Wranglers from 2018 to 2020 is because we had an excellent administration and an excellent economy with almost non-existant interest rates and FCA was able to leverage that into amazing leasing deals. I remember seeing entry level base JL Wranglers...

I thought it was the most brutally honest review of the car on YouTube, and I applaud them for being bold enough to say on video what everybody else is thinking but doesn't have the guts to say at a press event.

The car looks so good inside and out. The hatchback type design that allows so much cargo storage is a huge plus. The fact that the rear seats are actually usable by humans is a huge plus. They knocked it out of the park……except for the drivetrain. It was a horrible decision to pick such an...

I don't follow. Do you need a crayon illustration? You made it sound like V8 Rams and Challengers are stacked up at dealers everywhere. I'm telling you that's not true and hasn't been in several months. Perhaps in specific areas where V8s didn't sell well to begin with, but certainly not the...

I typed that being dead serious, and speaking from personal experience. We've worked all the "big 3" brands of diesels in recent years. Currently the 6.7 Fords we have are hands down the most reliable. The CP4 doesn't count because ALL the brands have fought with problems due to that pump...

Six months ago they were gone around here in Kentucky. I went to the largest dealer in the area and they had 1 Limited still in stock. It's not like V8s are piled up on lots everywhere. Not the case.

Sigh.... Why is it taking so long to get this car right??

1) V8s are collecting dust? Where? Because it's hard to find a new Charger/Challenger/Ram with a V8 around here. Just about all that's left are Hellkittens, and that's because of price. And ask the main competitors who make cars and trucks with V8s for 2025 how nice their sales are right...

Agree. About 10 years ago a northern state, maybe Wisconsin? I can't remember, but a northern state did a study on this. They found that the effect on fish and water ecosystems was significant. When I was growing up, we rarely saw plow and salt trucks. Local governments had very few, and...

Exactly. You are finally getting it.

They went to a CP4 pump and tried to overspeed it to meet their targets and that caused even more broken down trucks. Then they went away from the CP4 but added hydraulic lifters and then that started creating broken down trucks. Now they are changing things again. What will break now? And for...

This ^^^. 2000s Chrysler vehicles were ugly as sin. Bug eyed, weird edges, nasty interiors, just ugly. Americans don't want ugly. The exterior and interior design updates we saw during the 2010s were HUGE in terms of popularity and sales. They did such an amazing job on the new body design...

I thought the "logic" in building cars was to sell them? It's been proven that nobody cares about Stellantis' econobox offerings. The Dodge/Jeep/Ram brands are bought by people who are enthusiasts and feel a relationship with the vehicle they drive. If THIS company wants to survive they have...
