    Why Dodge Needs to Bring Back the Viper

    The only way Dodge, considering its current situation and corporate financial restraints could bring back the Viper is if Dodge got access to using a Maserati platform. If that foundation could be delivered in “ knock down kit” form then Dodge could build its own styled body panels, engine and...

    Charger Daytona Convertible in the Works from Drop Top Customs

    I guess someone thinks there is a market for this car. Good luck on that.

    Ram’s Electrified Midsize Pickup Delayed as Ford Gains Ground

    Guess you missed the last four years or is it just me. We agree that it seems mistakes were made at Stellantis and financial losses are fact. Must have been influenced by some prevailing thought process. As fans we share the unpleasantness of it all if not agreement on everything. Hopeful on the...

    Ram’s Electrified Midsize Pickup Delayed as Ford Gains Ground

    Let’s be honest, the WOKE, DEI and Green Movements have devastated not only industry, but the core motivational principles people needed to succeed, focus energy and receive honest satisfaction from a job well done. People in all walks of life were intimidated and forced to check a box rather...

    Stunning 1968 Chrysler 300 Convertible Set To Cross Mecum Block

    Those Chrysler emotions run deep and for good reason, one of which appears here in the story line. My emotion has moved to anger, I’m seething with anger at what those overseeing this magnificent brand have done and failed to do. I’ve stated that anyone tasked with reviving Chrysler must spend a...

    Jeep® Launches Bold Campaign for the All-Electric Wagoneer S

    I had high hopes that Jeep would launch this SUV with at least a hybrid to possibly save it. I was so disappointed it will launch as a pure electric only and more than disappointed at its styling. The front and rear are acceptable, but the sides are so lacking in any distinct character elements...

    Leapmotor Set To Reveal REEV C10 Crossover For Europe

    I choose to reject products from China. They are products produced by an oppressive government and should never be sold by Stellantis. You have to stand for something or you stand for nothing at all. Hope this whole venture fails for Stellantis as good folks just say “ no thanks”.

    Leapmotor Set To Reveal REEV C10 Crossover For Europe

    Not thrilled at this illicit relationship with China. Sometimes there are things more important than money. Hope my man Trump will ban vehicles like this and those built by China under the radar in places like Mexico. Many Americans do not realize the deep and fundamental differences between our...

    Dodge Charger Daytona Heads to Europe for 2026 Sources Say

    The six or so Daytona’s that might be bought in Europe will not affect the miserable sales numbers we all know are coming in America. Just a gut prediction. Wish it weren’t so.

    U.S. Senator-Elect Says Stellantis Should Divest American Brands

    I doubt Stellantis will cede their North American operations to any entity, but I do believe the current corporate structure needs change. The Senator offers valid points, but as stated here, the global network is critical to survival in today’s auto business. I’d offer the thought and...

    Stellantis Cuts Back Layoffs at Toledo Assembly

    First off, Merry Christmas to those workers returning. Inflated prices in a struggling economy has consequences and thank goodness the company is reacting to the failed policies quickly. Personally I have a six year old Jeep Cherokee that I usually would have started shopping to trade on a new...

    Stellantis Shifts Focus to Ramcharger as Market Moves to REEVs

    Rumor that 1500 REV and Wagoneer S will be cancelled altogether. Smart decision, if true, as the all electric market is collapsing globally. More telling is that upwards of 50% of current electric owners want out as fast as possible from their bad decision. Pure hybrids have a future, but...

    5 Things I Love About the New Dodge Charger Daytona

    Your thinking is commonly held in Mopar circles. Short comment: I would not bother to squeeze a V-8 into the Charger, as you stated its size and style does not draw many real muscle car fans, but certainly, performance car enthusiasts to the gas and perhaps the electric marketplace. Leave it...

    5 Things I Love About the New Dodge Charger Daytona

    The important take away from this report is the quality of driving characteristics of the Charger that are transferable to the Six Pack. The review highlighted basic engineering accomplishments fundamental to a Charger model that is lighter, less expensive and not burdened by the glitches...

    $0 Lease on Fiat 500e in Colorado: A Deal You Can’t Ignore

    No matter the manufacturer these types of urban focused cars have a hard sell in our market. It’s amazing, when I’m in Italy, these 500s, in one form or another, are everywhere. Do Rome, do Milan, do Florence by car and you get it. Drive from Long Island to West Palm Beach, not so much. Did...

    Jeep® Wagoneer/Grand Wagoneer 4xe Will Arrive In 2026 MY

    I still maintain the Wagoneer sub luxury brand at Jeep is a good idea, please note, still in its infancy that we must be patient with awhile. This is another step in the right direction. Seeing lots of Wagoneers, fewer Grands though, here on Long Island, a traditional stronghold for Jeep. We...

    SPOTTED: Cummins-Powered 2025 Ram 2500 Rebel Crew Cab 4×4

    Seriously, I was not joking, stop production immediately, use a grill from other Ram 2500s and retro fit those built. I had a nightmare last night, one of these grills was following me around, haunting me, but I woke up to hot coffee and a smiling wife. My message to Ram, wake up, have a cup of...

    SPOTTED: Cummins-Powered 2025 Ram 2500 Rebel Crew Cab 4×4

    Quick, cover your eyes! Who on God’s earth approved this horrific front grill? Stop the production line, ditch this abomination right now. If one tried hard you could not design an uglier more disjointed mess than this grill. Really, pull this monstrosity now, right now. I can ‘t look any more...

    Chrysler Really Needs A New 300 Based On The New Charger

    This rendering is really outstanding especially the tradition inspired Chrysler grill that immediately communicates that it is a Chrysler. What really disappointed with the Airflow was the cookie cutter undistinguished front end that evoked little brand identity or styling imagination. Let’s not...

    Stellantis Files to Rejoin ACEA Amidst Green Transition Challenges

    Positive step, even the Europeans are highly skeptical about the future of BEV and Stellantis is stepping in line. It points to a more realistic approach and hopefully aggressively moving away from these current goals. European and North American Stellantis divisions can find some cooperative...
