I would rather they take the time and get everything right. There have been too many premature product launches in the long corporate history. Perhaps the delay of the REV will mean next generation batteries instead of what the Charger is presently using.

Opel takes their version of the Fiat Doblo van, sends it to an outside shop which then converts it into a diesel-hybrid by installing an e-axle setup similar to the Tonale/ Hornet hybrids. I'm not saying sell Opel here, Buick did that and failed. Small diesels won't fly here as well. I am...

I can tell this isn't Allpar, because the above poster isn't a moderator.

That's nothing new. For many of us married men we've been walking on eggshells for years. 🤡

If we are going to be political, let me state this: No more wars for oil , er 🤔lithium.

Are there any GM products still made in Canada? Most Lincolns are built in China and not Mexico. Anymore, Chevrolets are either made in Korea, China or assembled in the US with Chinese parts. The exceptions of course are pickup trucks and the Tahoe/Suburban. Even then those products are picking...

Look what the electronic nanny did for Mustang sales.(n)

Stellantis has to figure out, and very quickly, what consumers want and what they are willing to pay for it. The tariff situation leads the pause, but the electrification puzzle must be solved as well. It now appears that the zero emissions mandates are dead in the US. What is the real market...

The latest thing from ZF is something similar to the e-motor which replaces the torque converter in the hybrid transmission, except it is a generator for the batteries for an extended range EV. It's relatively compact because there isn't a transmission behind it.

While other companies advance the state of the art in hybrid drives, Stellantis simply figures out how to make it cheaper. This Punch system is only a mild hybrid offering 21 kw of assistance, so it might be unfair to compare it to Toyota's 5th generation high voltage system which offers 83 kw...

:( I guess I'm a nobody. I was actually on the waiting list for a Maverick until Ford bounced me off. I don't know why the Ridgeline doesn't sell. It might be there's too much plastic in the bed, or maybe it's the full-size pickup truck real world fuel economy. This post sounds a lot like the...

As I've said before, the 1.6 liter coming out of Dundee had better be beefed up for service under American driving conditions. The Punch transmission replaces a Toyota built, Aisin single motor hybrid unit which was used in PSA PHEV models. A GSE-T running on the Miller Cycle is being phased out...

The unfortunate Wagoneer S model was too far in its development process when the EV market plateaued a year ago. Management has hinted that a Recon with some sort of hybrid system might be coming, but we will probably see it introduced as a pure battery electric at first. We are now seeing the...

From the Wikipedia article on Sabotage: Usually sabotage starts with the workers on the floor, it seems this stuff came from the guy on top.

At least it doesn't ask you to enter your social credit score before proceeding.

I think you just nailed it for an "Aspen" replacement.

The previous administration arbitrarily changed the rules on how the small imported vans may avoid the chicken tax. This happened at the same time there were government financial benefits given for buying full size battery electric vans, which collapsed the market. The best we can do at this...

I'm thinking the present day Wrangler PHEV is the most likely parallel hybrid to be replaced by a series hybrid. First of all, Jeep has already stated there is going to be a range extended hybrid power train in the Wrangler/ Gladiator similar to the Ramcharger. Second, this would make the...

Here is the latest information from the ZF website. (Emphasis added) "ZF will produce a six-digit quantity per year. The plant in Saarbrücken has already planned another assembly line. Starting in 2025, the ZF plant in Gray Court (USA) will also begin production of the new generation of...

I don't know how I missed this back in November: New 8-Speed Transmission Coming To Dodge Charger SIXPACK The PHEV transmissions presently going into the Jeep Wrangler and Grand Cherokee are Gen-3 units imported from Germany. With the 880RE transmission being built in Kokomo, I don't think...
