I saw the video for this on YouTube. I hope it does well.

The reviews from down under are encountering the same technical glitches with the Leap C10 that are haunting the Charger Daytona and Jeep Wagoneer S when they were introduced. Consumers in our market want either front or all wheel drive. I don't think this legacy ReEV design would have mass...

The Chrysler 300M was supposed to be an Eagle and there was a last minute switch, a smart move. Right now Chrysler needs all the help it can get. In response to this article I must point out that the Subaru Outback is a moving target, as the 2026 model at the NY auto show demonstrates. The...

What a waste. It's also a distraction. ☹️

The current Ram 1200 is Chinese, like some of the Mexican Dodge products. How will the next Ram Promaster City avoid both the tariffs and the Chicken Tax? A version of the Ram PMC with the Pacifica's PHEV system would be a popular choice, in my opinion.

The important thing is for the Legacy North American brands to have some autonomy in determining style and engineering. We are sort of stuck with the 1.6 liter Pure-Tech hybrid engine, because the tooling is being installed for production in Michigan. We should not be stuck with the Punch...

Dear America, "No soup for you."

The Mazda EZ-6 uses the same basic drive train design as this Chrysler, except with much better batteries and twice the IC engine size. Chrysler should be offering this instead of the Halcyon sedan style.

Almost all the Chinese extended range EVs use this drivetrain design, but with a common four cylinder motor instead of the Patriot's two cylinder. An unspecified automaker in China will soon be using Magna's latest range extending transmission, I think it allows the IC engine to drive the...

Availability = Obsolescence. The Mazda MZ-30 R-EV and the pure battery electric MX-30 are being dropped from the lineup. Our market never saw the R-EV version and the EU overlords are still bent on banning all IC engines. The Chinese built Mazda EZ-6 doesn't offer the piston range extender...

To quote Charlie Brown, "Good grief !" 🙈🙉🙊

I'm not that far from Isanti. I'll have more time on my hands in a few weeks when I'm fully retired. I'll put that on my to-do list along with going to Nebraska to see Speedy Bill's museum.

With love, from Minnesota.❤️

The one thing we as Americans have in common with the Europeans, none of us voted for the president of the European Commission , Ursula Whatsmyline. Georgia Meloni had better decide if membership in the EU is worth it when non elected bureaucrats can override a nation's duly elected legislators...

In cold temperatures I raise the temperature of the HVAC in my Toyota Hybrid to 78 degrees and put the defroster on. This kicks in the IC engine so it warms up. I can't speak for all brands, but in my Corolla X there is heat pump and also heat provided to the oil and coolant. The last items...

We have some Silverado EVs at work that I sometimes tender depending on my workload with other duties. All of these electric Chevy trucks are in the W/T trim, very basic. That trim doesn't offer heated seats or steering wheels, which is a necessity in cold weather for an EV, because use of the...

My two cents. Kill the Dodge Hornet, it just confuses things and the Tonale can survive without it. Stellantis doesn't sell that many Alfa Romeo and Maserati vehicles in our market. Ship them as knock downs. Build the engines here to the Italian specifications. The GME 2 liter is the Global...

Is the reason politics, marketing reality, or something else? In the wake of VP JD Vance's rebuke of the authoritarian moves by some European countries and the redefining of democracy by the EU commissars, followed by the tariffs, the EU now considers the USA as an enemy. One of the items...

Allegedly, there is a replacement for the Jeep Renegade on the way. Anything Dodge sells will complete against that in the showroom, but will be the same vehicle beneath the sheet metal. The Lancia shown above is the corporate eCMP car wearing a Lancia hat. The Jeep version of the eCMP is the...

A modern interpretation of the Omni 024 / Charger 2.2 and Horizon TC3 / Turismo that is actually in production is the Toyota Prius. The Prius starts at just under 30K. Honda is going against the Prius with the latest Civic hybrid. I would build an entry level Dodge using the Smart platform...
