The strategy of one common engine-transmission combo or an electric drive with different top hats is coming back to bite Stellantis hard. All the eCMP vehicles are the same car underneath. Now the "Smart" platform products are getting the same hardware, just dumb. This is a repeat of the 1990's...

It's called ESG, it's the enforcement arm of the DEI movement. ESG is Environmental, Social, and Governance and is ideologically driven. The WEF is a collusion of the global banking system. Companies who didn't sign onto their radical agenda were blocked from capital and resources needed for...

I'm glad the Ram ProMaster is doing well. The GM/Chevy Bright Drop van has been a disaster. Hopefully this tariff thing can be worked out. Auburn Hills needs to take the ESG policies to the dumpster and start listening to the customers.

The Chrysler design that was supposed to replace the Journey was stolen by the PSA side of the house and is now a Peugeot model built and sold in Europe. Dodge does not need a small for door sedan, especially a Chinese one. There was a nice crossover version of the Fiat Tipo that would been more...

Durango's domestic competitor's are the Chevy Traverse and Ford Explorer. If Chevy wanted to they could offer a "frunk" with all the underwood space on the latest Traverse. Both the Ford and Chevy products are now four cylinder turbo equipped. I think the Ford might still offer an optional V6. A...

I can't speak of most of our thread participants individually, because I only know of them through this forum. Many admit to taking something called a "Red Pill". A reading of their posts seems to support this. As far as alcohol use, I might add there is very noticeable lack of Bud Lite...

Offered with out comment. This is for January 2025, so it's pretty recent.

I'm having a hard time figuring out whose transmission is installed for this Opel PHEV. Until recently if it was a 7-speed DCT hybrid it was a Magna built unit. Stellantis has recently hinted they will add a gear to the Punch unit when they build an upgraded transmission for PHEV service...

Killing off the mandates will save EVs. It's the mandates that must die, because we can't have the government dictating technology and declaring winners. If the government had treated computers like they do automobiles, I wouldn't be using my Chromebook to write this post. The PC would have...

I know, AI keeps posting on this thread.

The Mazda CX-50 uses Toyota's hybrid system, which is a high voltage design. Mazda is discontinuing the MX-30 model, both the battery electric and the rotary engine range extended model. The US only got the battery electric version and then only on the CARB states. Europe had both versions...

Ha ha🤡! We have another thread wondering about the feasibility of something like the 200C EV concept for Chrysler while Alfa Romeo is making plans to build these models on the same STLA-large platform. I have nothing against these models or the brand, I have driven the lower line trims of...

That generation of range extended EV technology did find its way into the BMW i3. How about those batteries from A123.:rolleyes: This Chrysler sedan could be built using the same platform as the Charger, but with the concepts shorter wheelbase and length. Battery and electrification technology...

Toyota says assembled for their vehicle production and manufactured for the parts going into the assembled vehicles.

GM uses a turbo four. Ford has the 2.7 EB. I don't know what happened to the naturally aspirated V6 in the Fords. I think it might be strictly for fleet order pickup trucks. It still is available in their vans.

The Camry we get is made in the USA. What's that Charger going for these days?

This conversation continues on from another one. https://moparinsiders.com/community/threads/unfulfilled-promise-chryslers-2009-200c-ev-concept.9187/

Stupid Toyota, stupid Honda. :censored:Yeah the Accord is taking a hit lately, but that's because the Civic is too close in size to it.

The new Compass will arrive in our market just in time to face the next generation RAV4 with hybrid, plugin hybrid, and BEV powertrain offerings. The plugin hybrid will feature 100km of battery range. Nissan will be offering a PHEV option for the Rogue by that time as well. I hope the new...

I wonder what the Halcyon Concept will lead to. A lot has happened in the electrification of automobiles since the Chrysler 200C EV concept toured the auto show circuit. The 4th gen ZF plugin hybrid transmission offers specifications and performance which totally trounces the REEV system found...
