    Dodge CEO Addresses Fans Concerns About New Charger

    I present for your consideration The Dodge Muscle Car Plan. Dodge Charger, too deep into the original plan. Wait for new V-8, no Hemi for this muscle car until new version is ready. I personally love the Six Pack for the Charger. Dodge Challenger, time for the development but announce soon...

    The Jeep® Wagoneer S Looks Like A Great All-Around Package

    As stated before, I’m a big advocate of the Jeep Wagoneer sub brand as the luxury model for the brand. I also believe the Wagoneer S can be a solid offering to enhance the Wagoneer lineup, but my interest is not there with all electric as a stranglehold on my interest and many potential buyers...

    Jeep® Sees Explosive Sales Growth in the U.K.

    Enough bad news around to now inject some good stuff. The global picture for Jeep has not changed and it’s probably the most recognized and marketable American brand outside the U.S. Sure, our domestic operations have taken a hiccup, but with pricing changes and a new Compass and Cherokee in the...

    Next-Gen Jeep® Compass Set for April Reveal

    It reassuring to see that development is continuing on schedule for much needed product that looks to be outstanding improvements with intelligent adjustments based on market and consumer realities. The three powertrain approach outlined here should be standard across all brands. Unfortunately...

    BREAKING: Chrysler C6X (CA) Electric SUV Development Suspended

    I totally disagree that all Chryslers should be electric. The people do not want it and that thinking will disappear with the free market dynamics. Should all brands have an electric option, of course, hybrid too, but all electric totally, never going to happen. Your a smart guy, you should know...

    BREAKING: Chrysler C6X (CA) Electric SUV Development Suspended

    As a lifelong Chrysler lover I just had to comment. Simply put, the brand has so much heritage and unique character to build upon it should be easy to dip into the current portfolio of Stellantis architecture and platforms to come up with at least three or four viable products for the brand...

    2025 Ram Heavy Duty Lineup Revealed: Cummins Diesel Power, Towing, and New Features

    Agree on those ugly grills. Ouch ! Some caution, how will Ram resolve the Made in America situation on the Pro Master and City Master commercial vans? I see a real issue. As a work truck guy do you have any thoughts on these vital work vehicles ?

    2025 Ram Heavy Duty Lineup Revealed: Cummins Diesel Power, Towing, and New Features

    Being positive here. These Ram employees are not just sitting around, some really good things it seems are coming from their efforts. My half full glass gives hope to better days and credit too for some great things done under very challenging circumstances. I’m so boosted by these Rams that I’m...

    Dodge Mexico Unveils Limited Edition Attitude Green Hornet Model

    Indeed you raise legitimate issues, but resolvable. These apprenticeships would be overseen, coached hands on and classroom taught by highly experienced workers, at an enhanced wage subsidized as a renewable federal employment training initiative grant. The assembly pace would be slower, final...

    Dodge Mexico Unveils Limited Edition Attitude Green Hornet Model

    It has been nearly impossible for American car companies to build affordable, high quality compact vehicles for one reason, labor costs that destroy competitive pricing and profitability. I would not like building something that depends on Chinese sourcing or resources, so that option is off the...

    Dodge Mexico Unveils Limited Edition Attitude Green Hornet Model

    Does it bother anyone that it takes the Chinese to build an affordable and attractive “Dodge” ? Does it bother anyone that the Chinese have proven that an inexpensive Dodge branded compact sedan that generates some excitement with a performance flare is truly viable ? Does it bother anyone that...

    2024 Dodge Charger Daytona FINALLY Arrives To Dealers

    If Dodge gets the kinks ironed out of this car there is a modest chance the Charger Daytona, with its muscle car influenced design and features, could find a market in the dwindling electric car segment. The Daytona certainly offers buyers a different take on the boring electric car segment...

    LOOKING BACK: The 1994 Dodge Venom Concept

    As a multiple and current Chrysler Crossfire owner I suspect, as in other Dodge concepts of this era, a lot of Crossfire under the sheet metal. That interior is a give away as is the windshield. No harm no foul as Germany was the donor for Chrysler, and my beautiful Italy may hold the donor key...

    Stellantis Post It’s Sales Numbers For The U.S. For Q4 2024

    Call me a wide eyed optimist but I see a lineup ripe for new products, replacement of product in hibernation and pent up demand waiting for them in the wings. Betting heavy on Jeep Cherokee and Renegade replacements, everything from Chrysler and the return of the Dodge Challenger and some new...

    Stellantis Post It’s Sales Numbers For The U.S. For Q4 2024

    When I was doing year end projections I understated my numbers by a bit. I felt my results could only go up since I had a pretty good idea of where things were going. Things likely would be better than projected. In all honesty these are not bad results considering lost products and late new...

    2027 Jeep® Renegade: Everything We Know So Far

    Many are clamoring about the downturn in Jeep sales, pricing is certainly a factor, but too few site the exit of two important Jeeps, the Renegade and the Cherokee from the marketplace. What, your kidding! Crazy talk ! No Johnny, it really happened. Nothing. Nada, Zilch. It might be...

    Stellantis Navigates Turmoil: Elkann Charts a New Course

    Seems that Elkann is doing the best anyone could after the debacle of Carlos and his band of merry men. Reorganizing and giving more autonomy to North America seems necessary. My first priority would be improving build quality, reliability, supplier products and the dealer mess now rampant with...

    Next-Gen Alfa Romeo Stelvio Could Be Revealed In March

    Hope Alfa Romeo reconsiders that rear tail light design, to my eyes it’s really ugly and over the top, actually detracting from its luxury appeal sedate formula. I do like the current Stelvio and they have been very popular in my area but clearly the current Stelvio was beyond dated and it...

    AI-Designed 2025 Dodge Challenger Concept Looks Sleek

    Testing the waters on this topic. Often I am more interested in replies to my comments rather than the comment itself. As a Challenger, both original and new generation owner, this is a topic of deep interest to me. Bet you too! I’m more than upset that the electrification agenda at Stellantis...

    AI-Designed 2025 Dodge Challenger Concept Looks Sleek

    It’s a start. I’d like a shorter rear deck lid and rear quarter, a more defined Challenger reminiscent side body sculpture, but this look is fine, shorten wheelbase from the Charger and of course wider strut mounts to accept the Hemi V-8. Yes, absolute requirement here. Rumors swirling...
