Then Lee tried to un-retire and considered taking over Chrysler in the mid-90s which scared Eaton. Its impossible for such behavior at Stellantis and Ford because of the voting+corporate governance powers of the Elkann's-Agnelli's+Peugeot families(Stellantis) and Ford Family(Ford).

I don't think you are reading either that or you missing manufacturing/industrial logic .....the Maverick is related to the Transit, and If you paid attention Ford execs they promote the fact that much of it is off the shelf.

Inaccurate to "myopic management " with a family-ruled Board Of Directors. The company don't have a real Global HQ anyway.

Please read the post again.."Maverick is an "margin & capacity utilization (Fiesta)" exercise ". In the same plant , Ford went from having a B-Class Fiesta in the same plant to a higher priced vehicle with on the shelf technology the Maverick. Toyota discontinuing the Venza speaks for itself.

And Lee made it more easier with "Dodge Truck" being a separate agreement with dealers. Don't know why folks don't realize the Maverick is an "margin & capacity utilization (Fiesta)" exercise and Toyota got rid of the Venza for more margin models like Grand Highlander and Crown Signia while...

And the Midsize crossover (D segment) KM will have Blazer,Murano... with Edge exiting.. it won't be Jeep's best seller by a long mile. People forget key difference is Stellantis has multiple Country champion brand in Europe... FIAT in Italy...Peugeot in France, Vauxhall in U.K. John with...

Reason why some are blocked because too many don't use facts, don't do homework and would be loss reading an balance sheet... 90's Chrysler Management asked FIAT to purchase it in the early 90's and ended up selling to Daimler in an friendly all-stock deal because of weak stock price. Chrysler...

You are confusing products. Can't be "always late to the party!"/"If they don’t want to sell cars or trucks in the US call it a day and sell the Mopar brands to someone who cares" if the party sucks. Nobody stated a "Ramapage" is coming. What FCA-Stellantis has in mind is closer to the Honda...

Your Post makes zero sense. These are products for the Middle East, South America and Mexico. Belvedere is being remodeled or an all new plant. No John Elkann regardless of the CEO isn't going to approve company resources for low margin projects for North America, or stuff that leads to fines &...

Chrysler 90's management team sucked. The company most profitable period period was the last 5 years excluding the 2020 the COVID Year.

You got plenty of information, this has jack to with the United States especially with the Chicken tax so you don't need to be thrilled.

And the worst minivan generation ever.

This product ain't for the United States.

Journey was discontinued, and because it was break even vehicle, when it went out of the mix profits margins in North America improved. FCA sold the Journey as a FIAT not Jeep in other markets(still don't change it being a Daimler mistake).

The Journey should have never been made by Daimler, it was break even product hence the company got a margin boost when it was out of production. Durango isn't a blue collar product, in fact they glad it gets $50K Average Transaction price and has been channel into a unique...

Wouldn't blame the French at all. You have had 3 CEO's who all say Jeep is the main brand in North America: meaning John Elkann, the Chairman, second highest paid Employee (FIAT/FCA/Stellantis), and largest investor also thinks Jeep is the main brand in North America. Why should Dodge & Chrysler...

Base on the Investor Day: Cherokee and STLA Medium Compass.

Can't tell if Charger is "well received" until it fully launched which won't be until fall 2025, so 2026 will be the first year to pass judgement. Any other argument/claim falls under "Wish-Failing" before production!
