    WATCH: Dodge’s New CEO Reveal The Charger Daytona

    Everything except sales. Or maybe they're not expecting to sell as much quantity anymore, an rely on profit per unit instead, which would explain the INSANE base pricing. You can buy a very nicely decked out Mustang GT Premium with 480 horses, 10 speeds, and all the toys for $55k and run 11s...

    STLA sightings rage on! RAM 1500 REV caught this time.

    Interesting. - Panel fitment is a complete disaster on the Dodge and Jeep vehicles in those pictures. - The After Dark color is beautiful. - $70k for a Charger base model with one or two options? Are they kidding? - Paint match between body and bumper cover is terrible on that white car. -...

    STLA sightings rage on! RAM 1500 REV caught this time.

    That's the ONLY way I'd bring one of these home. Being a new model combined with perfect timing of rates coming down next year if we get an administration change should equal much better leasing rates in general and good deals on this new Charger to try and get out of the gate hot with the new...

    Stellantis ready to axe brands [Reuters] - Erik and Dave @ Allpar in bunker mode

    It has to be intentional. They let brands that were skyrocketing in growth 3 years ago completely wither and die by leaving them outdated PLUS making it publicly known that their new direction is one that takes them as far away from what the U.S. consumer wants as possible. And now they're...

    JL Wrangler mid-cycle refresh?

    Well I was pleased with the mid-cycle refresh. New face, new infotainment, standard adaptive cruise, some tweaks to the interior, etc. It was good. Having said that, a lot of folks didn't feel they went far enough. Maybe they're just spending their resourced on the next gen Wrangler? I hear...

    Stellantis Dealers Seek CEO’s Aid Amid Sales Slump

    Chrysler 1990s sucked? They released the Viper, which is iconic. They released the “new” Ram pickups, which I personally believe literally saved the company. They released the Grand Cherokee, which became the perennial #1 SUV in the market. Technically started in 1989, the 1990s saw the...

    STLA sightings rage on! RAM 1500 REV caught this time.

    At this point the only thing that hasn't been spotted is a "+" in front of Ram/Jeep/Dodge annual sales figures.

    Jeep® Wrangler vs. Ford Bronco – Mid-2024 Sales Analysis

    I think the Wrangler IS a better overall choice, and I'm not biased because I keep both brands in my driveway. But it just is. It's been around far longer, it's more polished, and it still has better door and top removal procedures. It has better interior, better exterior, and more engine...

    Cooper Develops New Off-Road Tire For Heavy Duty Pickups

    Thanks for the reminder that Cooper sold their souls to Goodyear. I was wondering why the tread pattern on this tire looks so much like the Goodyear Wrangler tires that Ford has used on Super Duty since 2017. All makes sense now.

    Charger Daytona delayed? Prototypes supposedly failing.

    "Great" and "European" do not go together in the same sentence. And BMW is the worst of the worst. I haven't had a BMW or MINI vehicle in my lifetime that was worth pissing on if it were on fire, and the wife against my advice bought a 2024 last year and surprise surprise, it's already got a...

    Stellantis Drives Towards A Chrome-Free Future

    I hate chrome, so this decision works for me. When I'm looking for a truck, the "sport appearance" package is a must.

    Charger Daytona delayed? Prototypes supposedly failing.

    Never said they made a 2024 Challenger. I said Challenger/Charger stopped selling immediately when Stellantis officially said "no more V8s". Which, is true and is evidenced by the $20k off sticker promotions we're seeing as they try and unload them. GM gets outsold by Stellantis in NA? Are...

    Charger Daytona delayed? Prototypes supposedly failing.

    Absolutely not true. GM sells the #2 most purchased vehicle in the nation which is the full size pickup and a HUGE majority of those have V8 engines. In addition to that they sell Tahoe which is the #1 full size SUV in America....mostly with V8s. They sell Corvettes with cross-plane and...

    Charger Daytona delayed? Prototypes supposedly failing.

    Here's the bottom line. The guy earlier in this thread who said it's all about marketing is 100% correct. I go to some of the largest car shows in the Ohio Valley region of the country. When I'm there, what I see is people age 20 through age 70 all along the streets, parking lots, etc. with...

    Hurricane for JL Wrangler?

    There's more to the equation than power. They would look at fuel economy as well when making that decision. We're already seeing the 3.0TT produce lower MPG than the 5.7 Hemi in the real world tests being shown on YouTube and other reviews online, so it's a guarantee that the 3.0TT would...

    2024 Dodge Durango SRT392 AlcHEMI® Arrives On Dealer Lots

    ....and the one in that photo is the ugliest color scheme I've seen on a Durango. Perhaps ever.

    EVs are dead

    I still think there are only two things holding EVs back. Price and charge time. When you can buy an EV that costs the same as the gas model and you can go from 15% to 100% charge in 5 minutes THAT is when people will take EVs seriously.

    UAW And Stellantis At Odds Over Recent Layoffs

    The Butter Da Insider video I referenced would be worth a watch. I don't know either way, but the UAW workers examples of things they are seeing is awfully curious to me. I am by no means a fan of the Union, but when you hear multiple employees describe explicit details of things they are...

    UAW And Stellantis At Odds Over Recent Layoffs

    A popular YouTuber who goes by "Butter Da Insider" posted a video yesterday with somewhat credible evidence that Stellantis is purposefully sabotaging the new Ram 1500 trucks due to their hatred of the Union. And then lo and behold what do I see next? A 2025 Ram 1500 review video by Matt...

    This Isn't The First Charger To Feature A Performance I6 Engine

    If the rumors from performance shops are true, that the Hurricane is breaking rods at about 600 HP, I'm guessing any of these rumored 700+ horsepower variants will have to be totally different internally. That sounds expensive.
