    SPOTTED: 2027 Jeep® Wagoneer 4xe REEV Engineering Mule

    I wonder why they decided to use the V6 as a generator. Wouldn't a smaller engine be lighter and more efficient?

    SPOTTED: 2026 Ram 1500 Ramcharger Laramie

    Very cool! Are the electric components of this truck, such as the EDMs and the batteries, the same as what is planned for the EV version? Will the EV version have basically the same drivetrain but without the engine and gas tank, or will there be more differences ?

    Stellantis Has A Dismal Sales Result For Q1 2025

    Typos, I believe. Here is the chart from Stellantis's site:

    Stellantis Has A Dismal Sales Result For Q1 2025

    Some thoughts... Only six models sold more than 30,000 units in Q1: Grand Cherokee 48,463 Ram LD 47,067 Wrangler 37,961 Pacifica 32,409 Ram HD...

    Dodge or Chrysler Needs a Smaller Four-Door Sedan

    Based on the current challenges facing the US auto industry in general, and Stellantis in particular, I wouldn't hold my breath waiting for new projects to be greenlit any time soon. And I will be surprised if we don't hear announcements in the coming weeks about new vehicles already in the...

    Trump Imposes 25% Tariff on Imported Cars

    I too was thinking about how they could shift production, and setting up Belvidere for Charger, Pacifica, and Dakota seems like the most obvious move. They clearly need to move the vehicles intended primarily/solely for the US market to US plants. The other vehicles, besides Charger and...

    New Dodge Charger Website. Barracuda??

    As much as I'd love to see a new Challenger or 'cuda, a new Viper, a new Neon two-door, and a new affordable small sports car like the 2007 Dodge Demon concept, I would not hold my breath for even one of them to make it to production. Product planners at Dodge seem to think that there is barely...

    HEMI® V8 Dodge Charger In The Works, But HURRICANE I6 Come First

    It seems that they planned a slow ramp-up for this car or else they would not have started with what is obviously going to be one of the slower-selling variants: an expensive two-door EV. If they wanted volume, they would have introduced it as an affordable four-door ICE model. The four-door...

    What’s Going On with the Chrysler Brand?

    Regardless of what we may believe each brand stands for, a Jeep-branded CUV will outsell a Chrysler-branded CUV every time. Restyle the Compass, put a Chrysler badge on it, and watch sales plummet. It's cynical and it's not what fans want, but Stellantis is going to brand and market models to...

    SPOTTED: Twin-Turbocharged 2026 Dodge Charger SIXPACK

    I'm just asking because some members here talk about a new Challenger and Hemi like they are confirmed but I have not heard that.

    SPOTTED: Twin-Turbocharged 2026 Dodge Charger SIXPACK

    Is there a new Hemi in development? Is there a new Challenger in development?

    Stellantis Still Considering Jeep® Avenger For North America

    I wonder how much, if at all, this would overlap or compete with the announced upcoming $25K Renegade EV. Maybe with the new management and shuffling of plans, they will release the Avenger in North America instead and cancel the Renegade project altogether. Is a vehicle between Avenger and...

    Stellantis Faces Pressure to Streamline Brands

    So maybe merge the brands without actually merging the brands? They could combine certain brands into "divisions," each run like a single brand. For example, Chrysler and Dodge could share a single CEO, corporate structure, budget, etc.-- but some of their vehicles could be styled and badged...

    Stellantis Faces Pressure to Streamline Brands

    Agreed, except that Fiat Professional has been an established player in the commercial vehicle market for decades, especially in Europe and South America. They could risk losing a lot of brand equity and customer good will and loyalty (and sales) if they were to replace it with Ram in those...

    Dodge Needs It’s Own Version of the Jeep® Wagoneer S

    It obviously wouldn't share anything in common with the previous Aspen other than being based on the contemporary Durango. And of course they could use a different name if there is a stigma attached to the Aspen name (although I doubt enough folks even remember the Aspen for it to have a strong...
