This new charger reminds of the 1969-70 Polara more than any past Charger. Where's the Superlite?

So what are they using to tender the Charger? A Ram proMaster with a Cummins powered generator in the back would be cool. On the other hand, they could use one of the recently refreshed HD Ram trucks painted in matching colors. That would be cool, the Ram and the generator both would have...

The Citroen C3 Aircross has a 105" wheelbase and is 173" overall. It is based on the Smart platform. The Citroen C5 Aircross has a 107.5" wheelbase and is 177" overall, based on the medium platform. I'm just pointing out dimensions for the possibility for using one platform over another. I...

The Maverick is defining the market. Ford didn't create this market segment, it just uncovered it and is now reaping the benefits. Unless Stellantis builds a product that taps into this market segment and resonates with the buyers, it will most likely flop. The newest vehicles built on the...

The PHEV vehicles do well in the cold, that's a selling point. The driver does not need to wear a snowmobile suit in cold weather. I froze shuffling the BEVs up to charging stations this past winter. I even was getting brick warnings on the instrument panel as well on a few of them. The...

The average transaction price of the Ford Maverick currently stands at $33,000. If Ram can't match that they shouldn't even bother. The pieces are there, however, to make a decent product, the 2.0 GME-T is a proven unit, as is the hybrid transmission found in the Pacifica, and there is the...

... and not have to wear a snowmobile suit to drive it in cold weather.🥶

The Slate EV truck does bring to mind both this Jeep Comanche Concept as well as the Dodge M-80. The Slate also seems to have borrowed other FCA features. From an op/ed found on The Fast Lane Truck (tfltruck-dot-com) : I should also add that the op/ed was in response to a spy photo and posted...

Perhaps the issue is where the engine is made.

I have to wonder what is wrong with the leadership of the legacy Chrysler Corp brands, that they have totally abandoned the entry level and affordable segments. I might also add Fiat's USA marketing team to this. Stellantis is selling affordable vehicles for the European market with products...

Stellantis thinks so. It doesn't matter what I think. BTW, I follow the Hindustan Times channel on YouTube because I no longer trust MSM in this country. So I'm somewhat informed about that part of the world.

See my comments here, Tribute To The Compact Pickup: Jeep® Comanche Concept and Post#7 here, Large Electric Pickup Trucks Are a Scam The Slate project has gone viral, but the other EV story which remains relatively quiet is Walmart is getting involved with the the EV charging business. Which...

Perhaps this will work for India, but I no longer see imported Chinese EVs as viable in our market. Between the the tariff situation and the belligerence of the CCP regime, things are no longer rosy. The current joke is that BYD stands for "borrows your data", in that personal data such as the...

With the announcement of the Slate EV I was immediately reminded of this concept. There is an alleged inexpensive replacement for the Jeep Renegade on the way. How about a pickup version as well? That Slate pickup borrows a lot from the Fiat Centoventi concept. The cell phone as the infotainment...

Apparently, I'm not the only person thinking Large electric pickup trucks are a scam. Jeff Bezos of Amazon-dot-com fame is backing a project called Slate, a small, affordable EV pickup truck. The design team was not worried about the wheelbase and track being too small for the CAFE regulations...

Will this model have a longitudinal engine placement? Is it front or rear drive based? Just because it is the STLA large platform, it no longer automatically means it's a rear drive. The engine is a 1.6 liter based on the PSA PureTech. We don't yet know what modifications it will have for our...

It was their "Happy Earth 🌎Day" message. A lot of this stuff is vaporware. When it hits the showroom call me.

Someone in the marketing department marketing is not reading the current situation. Buyers in this segment are being conservative with their desires and have tight wallets. The V6 is a proven unit and is backed up by the 8-speed automatic that receives good reviews. Offer that combo with lower...

I find it quite odd that FCA went through the effort and resources to modify the Pentastar V6 to operate on the Atkinson Cycle and work with hybrid operation for the Pacifica, but then not use it in the Grand Cherokee. At least the V6 will be used in the Ramcharger.

We need more information on that new hybrid transmission.
