    Citroën Introduces Top-Tier C3 Saint James Limited Edition:

    Sort of the John Varvatos edition of Citroën, except it seems more casual wear.

    California Dealer Has 16 Brand-New 2018 Dodge Challenger SRT Demons In Stock!

    Got it. Makes sense, but you'd think that could be scripted to do that as well.

    Grand Cherokee Wagoneer -

    Never heard of it. I do know of a Grand Cherokee, a Wagoneer, and a Grand Wagoneer, however.

    Will there be an Americanized from sedan from Peugeot?

    That's not even remotely comparable. For one thing, batteries NOW last 10-15 years in hybrids/electric cars. For another, battery recycling is much less problematic vs dealing with nuclear waste.

    The 540 Horsepower Lightweight Alfa Romeo GTA & GTAm Have Finally Arrived:

    I don't even see the point in comparing them, they're two rather different animals. Like you said, your money, your choice.

    Will there be an Americanized from sedan from Peugeot?

    A 4 with a mild hybrid like the eTorque system would take care of most folks' needs getting on the interstate in traffic, or getting the car moving through the gears from a stoplight. Once you get to speed, most of your HP is just keeping the machine moving, and pushing a certain amount of air...

    The First 200 MPH Dodge Charger Daytona, Heads To Auction:

    Dad said more than once he wished he'd bought one while they were "cheap" and put it on blocks in a barn.

    Is Right Now The Perfect Time For Dodge//SRT To Return To NASCAR?

    Dodge had a chance, but didn't strike while the iron was hot. Penske got cold feet.

    Is Right Now The Perfect Time For Dodge//SRT To Return To NASCAR?

    Best description of NASCAR ever, and I actually enjoyed my one trip to the Brickyard a few years ago. Problem is, with the ascendancy of electrified autos, I'm not sure how you feed the NASCAR bug otherwise, at some point, unless you remain retro. That literal "Days of Thunder" vibe is a thing...

    Is Right Now The Perfect Time For Dodge//SRT To Return To NASCAR?

    Big question IMO isn't whether Dodge should get back into NASCAR, but rather "what's NASCAR's future?"

    Stellantis Won’t Need To Buy Tesla Emission Credits Anymore:

    At @cygnus and the proper course of action is never to violate the law "because Bobby got away with it," but to vote the bums out of office that let these kinds of things keep happening...and spare me the excuses on why that won't happen.

    Stellantis Won’t Need To Buy Tesla Emission Credits Anymore:

    They may be bumbling idiots, but the law is still the law. If you run afoul of it and get prosecuted, you can't pull the "what about" card.

    Stellantis Won’t Need To Buy Tesla Emission Credits Anymore:

    Note to anyone who doesn't understand laws surrounding trading, specifically trading on insider information:

    Does North America Need A Modern-Day Mid-Size Dakota Pickup?

    That engine is dead and buried. If they come out with any new V8, which is extremely unlikely, I suspect it will be smaller than that. European V8s are in the low 4L class, as that's the optimum size per cylinder. More likely this class of vehicle is going to have a turbo 4 or 6, like the GME...

    Does North America Need A Modern-Day Mid-Size Dakota Pickup?

    Here's a great point. If you want to sell something and not have it cannibalize FS trucks too much, don't make it too attractive against just that one segment. It should be just big enough to do a high percentage of the job well enough, but not so many that it eats heavily into 1500's territory...

    Does North America Need A Modern-Day Mid-Size Dakota Pickup?

    Doesn't Chicken Tax pretty much rule out anything south of Mexico.

    FIAT’s “Project 363” Crossover Has Been Unveiled:

    EPA regs and NA FMVSS may have something to do with it. NA/EU regs are more stringent than what is financially saleable would allow in the southern hemisphere other than most Commonwealth nations.

    PARENTS Names 2021 Chrysler Pacifica As One Of Its ‘Best Family Cars’!

    I don't think the problem is totally just people don't like "proper station wagons" as much as station wagon design not adapting, until SUVs came along and stopped being just what were barely distinguishable from hearses. LX Magnum may not have been a massive seller, but it sold well enough, and...

    Salesman Charged For Fraud In Giving Out $8.7 Million In Stellantis Discounts:

    Obviously, the auto industry isn't pharmaceuticals, but that's ridiculous!
