It's not a bad engine, it's just not worth the premium they're asking for. Everything has a price, including complexity. The truth is that the vast majority of buyers just want a simple truck with a high displacement V8 engine that they can easily repair. Go read the hundreds of Instagram and...

Go ahead and live with your delusions, I'll align my views with the sales sales charts and profits from 2010-2019.

This isn't Allpar - I'll do whatever I damn well please. Go look at the sales charts for 2025 for Ram vs 2019 for Ram. The I6 will do about as well in Ram as when they offered, briefly, the 2L Turbo in the 2019 Wrangler and Cherokee vs the Pentastar. Sales were so bad that they dropped the 2L...

Well, packaging for a unibody with a series hybrid in a D or E segment SUV hasn't been done before and the packaging for a series hybrid is...way different than a BEV. But your first sentence is true - pure BEV is foolish in North America. Current state of the art series hybrid is the BYD Shark...

Read the comments on that YouTube video - tons of people, which primarily represent your existing CDJR base, want the Hemi or Pentastar or they're just going to stop buying. Maybe that's why STLA North America lost $1.8 billion in the 2nd half of 2024. I've been saying this for years. Only...

The only thing I know is this company was humming 2010-2019 with Pentastar and Hemis. It’s not on me to prove anything - go look up the financial results yourself. The Hurricane is a failure - huge flop. Zero of the CDJR owner base wants it, and they can’t move anything on the lot today. Go...

I will agree that Chrysler cannot / should not use the LeBaron name on any upcoming vehicles.

@redriderbob is the next Durango still a go?

Excellent!

Cadillac is absolutely a 95% BEV brand in North America as of the 2027 MY. The only exception to this the ICE Escalade. 2026 MY is the last MY for the XT5, XT6, CT4, and CT5. China will still have Cadillac ICE.

The investment for STLA Large BEV should be totally written off and replaced with series hybrid on STLA Large, for 2028 MY and beyond. Let Europe pay for pure BEV on STLA Medium. Let Alfa and Chrysler have series hybrid on STLA Large.

Alfa and Chrysler could be the coachworked hybrid STLA Large brands. If you really want to push the needle, they could be series hybrid brands. Skip BEV and just do series hybrid and MHEV. Alfa brings nothing to the table for STLA Medium and under - already covered by Peugeot, Citroen, and...

Chrysler should be the only brand in the portfolio that has EVs. The EV Charger is a flop and the EV Wagoneer S is a flop. The Recon EV will also be a flop. Dodge and Jeep owners do not want full BEV. It would have been unique for Chrysler to have its own unique BEV offerings for STLA Large...

Hardly any of the existing V6 and V8 CDJR owners are looking to replace their vehicle with one that - 1) Costs 15% more 2) Has a more complex, and subsequently less reliable turbo I6 that has 1 or 2 MPG improvement vs the V6 naturally aspirated Pentastar The I6 is a total failure. A clean...

Good God you are dense. They made all their profit from 2010-2020 from V6s (Grand Cherokee, Durango, Wrangler) and V8s (high trim Charger, Challenger, Durango, Grand Cherokee SRT back when they made one)

Finally, some (more) good news.

2026 Ram 1500 Ramcharger electric pickup promises to have it all "The goal is to be “slightly higher than” the average transaction price of an internal combustion pickup, Kuniskis said, before launching into an ode to a hypothetical electric pickup priced at $69,985." That sentence is...
