Another one bites the dust. Maserati has come to its senses and perhaps at the same time, saved the brand. Time for Dodge to follow suit on the Daytona, Jeep with the Wagoneer S and Recon for starters. May be too late for Jeep still making these models electric, but bringing a pure hybrid as...

See your point of view, but disagree on consumer demand for ICE. I believe Jeep must launch the Compass as both gas powered and pure hybrid. I agree, there might be more interest in the hybrid, but absent a gas version Jeep would lose a huge segment of their customers. I look at it this way, if...

Love drag racing, especially the Factory Stock class. Hope Dodge can come up with a smaller, lighter V-8 powered car to race in NHRA Factory Stock long term.

Help me out here, what exactly was the reason, the thinking, of not bringing this wildly successful pickup to the US ? At best a “quick fix” but better than no fix at all. At least the model name would be out there on pickup buyers lips, at least a good number of these folks might have...

People like myself want internal combustion engines overwhelmingly and Jeep is making the right decision. See absolutely no reason to build electrics here at all, since the few who might want one could order it through Jeep from Europe where they have the capacity to build them. That would save...

My buddy Joe bought one of the first 1966 Chargers made and for me, it was love at first sight. I took every opportunity to ride in it and particularly loved the glowing dash gages and luxurious door panels. Our group called his yellow Charger “banana”. He had it stolen, stripped and dumped into...

Bringing production back to the US is a lofty policy, but not a one policy fits all in reality. Giving manufacturers such rigid deadlines are not possible. The “art of the deal” is being realistic and pragmatic. This pause is the first step to creating something all parties can live with and...

It is sad that elitism and arrogance are so prevalent with the affluent. They are not that smart, they just have juice. I know people who have worked at the highest executive levels at major corporations, at the heart of American businesses, with people who are well known in the media as movers...

Of course they did. It was suicidal to think Maserati could survive all electric. Remember in essence Stellantis is THE company and every brand in that company need not be solely or offer any electric models. Maybe Chrysler, but never, ever Dodge or Maserati. Maybe Lancia, but never Fiat...

Call me optimistic, but this decision seems a no brainer. Start in Canada and go from there. The upside should be obvious and the downside has little risk. It’s a big hit, saw a couple on my last trip to Italy and they were smaller than I thought, which might make them quite a viable urban...

Go away! Hurts my eyes. Some awesome renderings have been on this site. This one definitely is not one. That said, with rumors again surrounding a new Viper, I encourage the talented creative folks out there to do their thing. Look to the Maserati MC 20 for inspiration. This is fun. Dodge needs...

I am captivated by the Charger and its AWD capability. The Charger I’m really interested in is the SixPack R/T with AWD. Frankly I don’t see a muscle car in the Charger, I see a stunning full size coupe that can replace my SUV. The Charger will give me most everything my SUV has, with...

Now this is big news. As I stated before, though criticism of Stellantis and Jeep is warranted, there were good things happening at the same time. The talented and hard working employees who kept the faith deserve credit and praise. This is an example of these people and their valiant efforts in...

Interesting take. I always envisioned Maserati and Chrysler sharing product differentiated by their respective markets. Ditto for Dodge and Alfa Romeo. Build each in own market sharing identical manufacturing assets. You get four brand products from two shared vehicles. An idea.

Most concerned about Chrysler. Floated earlier the idea of instead of bringing European brands to North America to boost sales and profits, select two models that are “Euro-Popular” but potentially and likely viable in our market if launched correctly and change a couple of body panels, grill...

I read the new CEO will need to set a course for all the brands. I am most anxious about Chrysler. I have also read that no new European brands will be coming to America and I agree, with a caveat. . Possible solution to both issues is to bring a couple of the most viable and European popular...

I have zero interest in an all electric vehicle, but Dodge has no choice but to solder on with the Daytona because it does have a unique niche in this market segment. I also grudgingly admit that at some point all electrics will have overcome many, if not most, of its shortcomings and have a...

Be still my racing heart, it’s only a rendering, a tease, a temptation for Dodge people that frankly is mean, mean, mean. Too much for us longing for Dodge on the ovals again. This rendering is too much to endure. Meanies. Darn, I looked again. There goes my heart, my blood pressure, too much.

Uncanny resemblance to the Airflow concept. What strikes me most is the upscale level and design of the interior. It clearly defines a standard of where Chrysler needs to be with all their new products. We have enough SUVs in the Jeep and Dodge brands that trends toward the broad marketplace and...

Not impressed with the Hurricane Six. Pretty fast truck, but not a pavement pounder. Like the Challenger Hurricane Drag Pack exhibition car last year, this truck launched and sounded like a limp noodle. This inherent performance dynamic just will not attract the hard core hot rod Dodge fans. Not...
