    Killing The Renegade Was Big Mistake By Jeep®

    I’ll add some clarification to Robert’s headline statement with respect, “Killing the Renegade without a replacement ready, was a big mistake”. No doubt a major update, at least, was needed. No replacement as we see at Ram, Chrysler and Dodge and yes Jeep, were decisions of enormous incompetency...

    Ram’s Future Midsize Truck Could Get Trick Aero Diffuser

    It may be more a gimmick than a significant innovation, but it does hint that a decision on a Mid-size Ram pickup has been made. I agree with Triple T, again, I think there is room for both and I think we have two of the twenty five announcements in hand. I can’t imagine, at this point, that the...

    2026 Dodge Charger Daytona Scat Pack Brings Big Changes

    I’m not going to criticize the guys at Dodge. They were forced into an impossible position by a rather impossible leader that produced a rather stunning but larger than desirable performance vehicle. Names like R/T and Scat Pack were desperate attempts at defining it a muscle car. We all know...

    Ram Delays 1500 Ramcharger and REV Pickups Again

    No shock on this news. Few people want electrics and few truck people are even interested. Time to get back to what made Ram so big, I’ll let you decide what that is, but I’m sure it’s not the pleasure and opportunity to plug it in, wait for hours and drive it 25 miles when the power runs out...

    Antonio Filosa Reportedly Frontrunner for Stellantis CEO Job

    Yes indeed we Italian Americans have contributed immensely to our great nation in so many ways, from government to business, from entertainment to science and of course our food. Glad you enjoyed Italy, the birthplace of Western Civilization and great automobiles too. I agree that Filosa might...

    First Fiat 500 Hybrid Rolls Off Mirafiori Line Ahead Of Fall Launch

    If you have never experienced a Fiat 500, if like me, the car will amaze you. Comfortable, lots of little storage areas and updated tech housed in a very user friendly dash and controls. That experience leads me to say, why does this Fiat not sell well in the U.S.? I really never really...

    Antonio Filosa Reportedly Frontrunner for Stellantis CEO Job

    Famous saying, “see Naples and die”. As a descendent of Naples, a place I have proudly returned to a few times, I’m happy to see a fellow son of Naples in the running for CEO. He has a history in North America and combine that with traditional “Italian Smarts” and Stellantis could be in very...

    1970 AMC Javelin 390 SST Hits Mecum Indy Auction

    In my opinion the performance vehicles produced by AMC are often overlooked, undervalued or ignored. Too bad since they made some pretty good stuff on a very limited budget. It is regrettable that some form of rescue package other than absorption into another struggling company did not happen to...

    Unifor Presses Stellantis Over Delays at Brampton Assembly Plant

    It’s time to start moving the bulk of the manufacturing future and identical building equipment to a new facility and leave it to a Canadian Union team and Stellantis representatives to hammer out a reimagined use for Brampton. In the interim a favorable tariff agreement is put in place to allow...

    2026 Jeep® Grand Cherokee Teased Ahead of Final Testing Phase

    Modest changes that enhance an already good Jeep. Waiting for new Cherokee or this new Grand Cherokee. I’m going to give both a drive, then decide. Big for me is the Pentastar V-6 which I’ve had four and love it. Will it return to either? Big one for me. I might go for a left over 2025 to get...

    Stellantis Scales Back Production at Windsor Assembly

    Totally agree with Triple as to making the big inevitable move, not sure on the site as I believe there will be a need, short term, for a bunch of new product that will need an assembly line that is flexible for three or four different brand offerings. I’m thinking Cherokee, Compass, Dodge...

    Did the All-New Jeep® Compass Just Leak Online?

    Very well done inside and out. Please give us a gas powered version for North America. Build it here (Belvedere?)with a Dodge Hornet replacement spin off and we should be good to go with two volume compact SUVs for North America. Big step up on content and market range offerings. Good job Jeep...

    2026 Dodge Charger SIXPACK ICE Models Get Bold New Trim Names

    I’m OK with a GT entry model, but that “Outlaw” moniker is not working for me. It will probably get push back from some purists as inappropriate and odd, like me, and there are names in the Dodge nomenclature that can work better. Let’s reevaluate this one Dodge. Trust me on this. To the...

    Dodge Reportedly Planning New Crossover Between Hornet and Durango

    My Dodge lineup: STLA Medium- Midsize performance coupe/sedan and a Hornet SUV replacement- 3 vehicles. STLA Luxury Large- Charger coupe/sedan, Challenger/Cuda coupe, Stealth SUV and a Durango SUV replacement- 5 vehicles. MASERATI Shared Platform- Next generation Viper Mid Engine built off...

    SPOTTED: 2026 Dodge Charger SIXPACK H/O Two-Door

    IMO the Charger Six Pack should come bare bones and then have buyers select items or a package from ANY of the Charger models. Bigger Scat Pack brakes, wheels, interior upgrades, exterior enhancements. Looking with my eyes I see a last generation Demon hood scoop opening fitting neatly into this...

    SPOTTED: 2026 Dodge Charger SIXPACK H/O Two-Door

    Has anyone noticed or did I miss it, there is no Scat Pack emblem on the front fender. That’s step one in becoming, as one blogger noted, “bad ass”. Might I suggest the computer talented, create some of your add on computerized designs and share with us. The Charger is our personal blank sheet...

    SPOTTED: 2026 Dodge Charger SIXPACK H/O Two-Door

    Now this is more like it. I’m more interested in the Six Pack AWD than a RWD Hemi, which powers my current Challenger that is amazing, but this setup addresses the biggest issue with my Dodge, uncontrollable tire spin, even from my very satisfying 5.7 automatic. I avoid wet weather driving and...

    Dodge Charger Daytona Scat Pack Joins One Lap of America

    I have made some harsh statements about the Dodge Daytona, but every time I look at this car, those statements seem to exceed my limits of objectivity. Currently I have begun to see some real potential for the Charger in some niche of the market and accessories and graphics might hold the key to...

    2026 Jeep® Commander Will Get Bold Refresh

    Im waiting on the new Cherokee that seems destined for hybrid power. I much prefer a gas only power train, but the approach taken with the Brazilian Commander has caught my attention. It’s now a “weak maybe” if it is something like this driven by the transmission hybrid, like that idea. Some...

    Ram Secures U.S. Patent for Rampage Compact Pickup

    Just in case you need any more support for you clear, common sense, business case logical and necessary quick implementation on this, I add a RESOUNDING “ YES !!! “ I know two regular guys who could help these guys, and I sure Tim is on board too, to get this ball rolling. YES !
