Stellantis better take a long hard look at Belvedere for the two row only Cherokee, it makes perfect sense. A Chrysler spin off could be built as a three row version. Should be enough volume to make a nice profit and more if the pickup shares the platform and architecture. Cherokee in 2025...
Just reread this strand and felt I should clarify my suggestion on labor cost as the poison pill of this issue. The UAW would and should look with a skeptical eye, but not a closed mind. When I was selected as an advisory representative of a large urban school system on a team investigating the...
Let’s introduce some new thinking on a critical topic by flipping the perspective. It is obvious that the Brazilian family of pickup platforms has a great deal going for it and would be a quick, if not compromised solution for Ram in at least two segments. The development of a next generation...
I can’t wait to see the Charger in person and I agree this Dodge redefines itself, in essence combining smartly, SUV features, upscale performance coupe on a large pallet and pragmatic sedan in one car. It in ways is more Maserati in presentation. Leave it alone, if a V-8 is planned, wait for a...
I believe the word halt overstates the Airflow status which to my knowledge has been suspended to the end of the month. I think there is much positive with the Airflow, a vehicle if some important changes are made, can help carry the Chrysler brand forward. Overall the concept in purpose and...
I present for your consideration The Dodge Muscle Car Plan.
Dodge Charger, too deep into the original plan. Wait for new V-8, no Hemi for this muscle car until new version is ready. I personally love the Six Pack for the Charger.
Dodge Challenger, time for the development but announce soon...
As stated before, I’m a big advocate of the Jeep Wagoneer sub brand as the luxury model for the brand. I also believe the Wagoneer S can be a solid offering to enhance the Wagoneer lineup, but my interest is not there with all electric as a stranglehold on my interest and many potential buyers...
Enough bad news around to now inject some good stuff. The global picture for Jeep has not changed and it’s probably the most recognized and marketable American brand outside the U.S. Sure, our domestic operations have taken a hiccup, but with pricing changes and a new Compass and Cherokee in the...
It reassuring to see that development is continuing on schedule for much needed product that looks to be outstanding improvements with intelligent adjustments based on market and consumer realities. The three powertrain approach outlined here should be standard across all brands. Unfortunately...
I totally disagree that all Chryslers should be electric. The people do not want it and that thinking will disappear with the free market dynamics. Should all brands have an electric option, of course, hybrid too, but all electric totally, never going to happen. Your a smart guy, you should know...
As a lifelong Chrysler lover I just had to comment. Simply put, the brand has so much heritage and unique character to build upon it should be easy to dip into the current portfolio of Stellantis architecture and platforms to come up with at least three or four viable products for the brand...
Agree on those ugly grills. Ouch !
Some caution, how will Ram resolve the Made in America situation on the Pro Master and City Master commercial vans? I see a real issue. As a work truck guy do you have any thoughts on these vital work vehicles ?
Being positive here. These Ram employees are not just sitting around, some really good things it seems are coming from their efforts. My half full glass gives hope to better days and credit too for some great things done under very challenging circumstances. I’m so boosted by these Rams that I’m...
Indeed you raise legitimate issues, but resolvable. These apprenticeships would be overseen, coached hands on and classroom taught by highly experienced workers, at an enhanced wage subsidized as a renewable federal employment training initiative grant. The assembly pace would be slower, final...
It has been nearly impossible for American car companies to build affordable, high quality compact vehicles for one reason, labor costs that destroy competitive pricing and profitability. I would not like building something that depends on Chinese sourcing or resources, so that option is off the...
Does it bother anyone that it takes the Chinese to build an affordable and attractive “Dodge” ? Does it bother anyone that the Chinese have proven that an inexpensive Dodge branded compact sedan that generates some excitement with a performance flare is truly viable ? Does it bother anyone that...
If Dodge gets the kinks ironed out of this car there is a modest chance the Charger Daytona, with its muscle car influenced design and features, could find a market in the dwindling electric car segment. The Daytona certainly offers buyers a different take on the boring electric car segment...
As a multiple and current Chrysler Crossfire owner I suspect, as in other Dodge concepts of this era, a lot of Crossfire under the sheet metal. That interior is a give away as is the windshield. No harm no foul as Germany was the donor for Chrysler, and my beautiful Italy may hold the donor key...
Call me a wide eyed optimist but I see a lineup ripe for new products, replacement of product in hibernation and pent up demand waiting for them in the wings. Betting heavy on Jeep Cherokee and Renegade replacements, everything from Chrysler and the return of the Dodge Challenger and some new...
