    2025 Dodge Charger SIXPACK Four-Door Pilot Production Begins

    Salvation ! If your fair minded, me included, you have to admit two things, the Six Pack Chargers are quite an impressive package and thank our luck stars for the four door sedan Six Pack Charger. Without that model we might be saying a sad goodbye to the Dodge brand. Electric might be...

    Chrysler CEO Confirms All-Electric Pacifica Is In The Works

    Interesting take. The gas powered Pacifica, affordable and updated continues as demand for conventional ICE minivans lives on and the all new electric Pacifica is eased into the lineup. Makes really good sense. Actually too smart to truly get my confidence back. Is common sense alive and well at...

    Chrysler CEO Confirms All-Electric Pacifica Is In The Works

    Confusing. An updated restyled Pacifica, most likely carrying over current architecture. Then next year we get an all electric Pacifica. More confusion at Chrysler? Could be my confusion on this topic. Help.

    2024 Dodge Charger Daytona Offers 0% Financing Early

    I guess Jeep will just have to offer the S as an all electric. Reputations at risk it seems. Many have called it a “niche” vehicle. Looks like a very small niche to most observers. The only way to justify the development costs is through the spin- off Cherokee that must be absolutely be offered...

    Ram CEO Hints At Upcoming Midsized Pickup Truck

    It’s quite simple, Stellantis set the bar too high and over committed to electric vehicles. Now we have a log jam of much needed products and customers essentially rejecting all electrics and clearly demanding a gas powered vehicle option in every brand. Let’s hope the management team has gotten...

    Digital Artist Envisions Custom 2025 Dodge Charger SIXPACK

    This interpretation misses my mark, but keep the renditions coming. If someone wants to try, add side scallops, power hood, ground effects, stock ride height, larger chrome wheels and some retro style.graphics. Yea, that’s my wish on this blank slate.

    Stellantis May Rethink Mexico Manufacturing Strategy

    Trump means business and the auto industry better get on board. I believe as a successful business man with a huge mandate from Americans, including the UAW rank and file, Trump will negotiate with manufacturers to close and shift overseas operations in a reasonable timeframe. Seems to me those...

    Should Stellantis Build a Smaller HEMI® V8?

    If Trump keeps his plans moving forward there will enormous support for more of the same, specifically JD Vance. I believe Americans are beyond fed up with these progressive policies and crave common sense solutions that build the middle class that would cement Republican control in DC for 12-16...

    Stellantis’ DS Automobiles Brand Teases New Flagship Crossover

    Ask folks on this side of the pond and you will likely get a puzzled stare and no reply about DS. D what ? But for the Chrysler brand that stare would be an “ it’s about time”: look, because it’s shared corporate platforms could hold the fast track key to future affordable luxury Chryslers...

    Should Stellantis Build a Smaller HEMI® V8?

    Can I separate the emotion here, which of course would be a big yes, without reserve. Logical Mopar Willy though offers this argument that does not put the Charger in the calculus. As a major domestic auto manufacture the answer is still yes. The application need is substantial in vehicles from...

    Ralph Gilles Reflects on the Design Evolution of the New Dodge Charger

    You parallel my thinking neatly with some important observations. We agree, it’s a styling triumph and an enthusiasts toy box. It’s time to, as you said, not speak to what it is not, but,oh my goodness, what it is and what it can be for buyers seeking their own interpretation. Designed to be...

    Ralph Gilles Reflects on the Design Evolution of the New Dodge Charger

    Retro inspired, boldly executed. It is its own creation and needs no apology. Eyes will behold, experience and react. As with a work of art or styling exercise, it is time and appreciation that will bestow its standing in the annals of time. As the unmatched classics of the 1930s have done...

    Ralph Gilles Reflects on the Design Evolution of the New Dodge Charger

    I must say this Charger is a work of design art. I believe at this point the Dodge team finds it a kind of a crime to not show the pure product in its true form, to hit showrooms, be fully appreciated and enjoy the compliments sure to follow. I can’t wait. There should be little doubt that...

    New 8-Speed Transmission Coming To Dodge Charger SIXPACK

    New 8-Speed Transmission Coming To Dodge Charger SIXPACK

    Having driven extensively the pre ZF eight speed Hemi Challenger R/T and the new one, it’s night and day. Huge performance improve to the point of making my 2019 5.7 Hemi Challenger a real beast. I’ve driven Mopar muscle cars since the 60s, most with mild performance mods, and this entry level...

    Stellantis Patent Aims To Enhance Low-Power DC Fast Charging

    Most knowledgeable people estimate that at best, all electric vehicles will consist of 15%-20% of the market. That is a sizable number so ongoing developments such as this fast charging system seem worth the investment. It is the huge financial and engineering costs in such a short timeframe...

    Jeep® Wagoneer S Models Are Getting Ready To Be Shipped Out

    That market is bullseye where Chrysler was and should be. If they offer three forms of power that would work best. Chrysler indeed has pretty much lost its image on a younger generation, Pacifica anyone, but let’s not forget, the affordable luxury 300 line was very successful over a long period...

    Twin-Turbo Ram 1500 RHO Arrives On Dealer Lots

    Although not a truck buyer I think this is a very exciting and appealing truck. Definitely the best Ram offering. I’ve seen its predecessor up close many times and was very impressed. I might not buy one, but I sure like this RHO with the powerful Hurricane engine, more than enough power for...

    Jeep® Wagoneer S Models Are Getting Ready To Be Shipped Out

    I will concede your thoughts on the S but not sure it was intended to be a niche model as you described but still maintain personally that the Wagoneer luxury line was a good idea and that a mid size Wagoneer was a good decision. Electric only was a poor decision as perhaps these guys are...
