I recall GM coming out with small 2 seat sports cars in 2006, Pontiac Solstic and Saturn Sky . Both flopped I think because GM only offered a 4 banger engine. YET, GM had blueprints for installing a V8 into the twins ! Those would have been dangerously fast and I think that's why GM canned the...
Hmmmm ? What do the consumers WANT ? FORD and GM V8 PU trucks sales doing great, what does that tells us? The Toyota RAV4 is the best selling SUV in it's class, the dealers can't keep the hybrid models in stock. Sport car sales are tanking as they always do when a recession hits, no mystery...
After 4 years of ruinous management under Carlos the cash flow from Chrysler NA became a cash drain. Personally I think it's going to take years not months to reverse the momentum of losses ? These losses may be endangering the STLA corporation finical well being, how much pain can STLA endure ...
Since the Trump agenda sacked the EPA and CAFE standards, what now ? The Hurricane 6 cylinder cars will be duds I suspect because the V8 rumble is GONE !
Amazing adding another couple hundred pounds to the 5800 LB monstrosity ? This "car" is a dud that it seems buyer are shunning ! Even with the Hurricane 6 I expect very few buyers ? Putting a Hemi in this SUV sized vehicle will be like putting lipstick on a pig !
What a shame, STLA giving Carlos $24 MILLION separation bonus for almost destroying the company ? This is the same Board of Directors that embraced the cost cutting that brought this debacle into play ! Until this board is replaced STLA may be doomed ?
As the auto segment sinks deeper into recession buyers are going for smaller high MPG vehicles. See chart above. The engine issues GM is having with the 6,2 V8 putting rods thru the block and the fuel module failures leaving owners stranded borders on criminal ! AS these issues spread expect to...
The D3 let the Asians steal segment after segment as they relied on gas guzzlers. FORD can't keep up with demand for the hybrid Maverick PU. Meanwhile GM and STLA did nothing !
In pursuit of better mpg it's time to design a slippery body style. Having a front end like an air dam is out of touch with reality. My 1984 Trans Am boasted a amazing slippery design as did my 2003 Corvette. Both vehicles delivered amazing mpg at high speeds, with the Vette 30 mpg after a dyno...
"Chrysler, Dodge, Dodge truck and Jeep do not need any partners and never did. They need to be set free again on their own - let Trump negotiate them out of being blocked from Asia and Europe."
Truer words never spoken !
YES ! I agree 100%, but this will never happen under European ownership due to cultural differences ! However, with the present depressed car market which is deteriorating weekly many EV and established auto manufactures will vanish, as the rest are in trouble. Even VW and Nissan are in...
Hahahahahah ! Another fail brand, Jaguar ! Until STLA wakes up to the fact that Chrysler NA has to set aside with its own American CEO and budget, because no European can fix and restore that money machine !
Hmmmm ? Car czar, any American ones ? Look at FORD, one mistake after another with recalls and more recalls, engine failures, and more. Lincoln sales falling off a cliff as the word is out about engine failures due to poor design. GM lurching around but making $$, for now, but engine failures...
I have to disagree with Mopar 426. Musk's ego is way too large to work for someone else. He could afford to buy it and hire the best and the brightest to run the corporation under his watchful eye. But STLA thinks they can turn around Chrysler NA, and that is a sad joke ! Time and again European...
What can anyone say ? Carlos with the blessing of the STLA board of directors has killed the Chrysler NA money machine ! With quality in the toilet, I'm advising friends and relatives to stay clear of the once great Chrysler products, when they ask me for family and friends discounts. If...
