    Stellantis Post It’s Sales Numbers For The U.S. For Q4 2024

    When I was doing year end projections I understated my numbers by a bit. I felt my results could only go up since I had a pretty good idea of where things were going. Things likely would be better than projected. In all honesty these are not bad results considering lost products and late new...

    2027 Jeep® Renegade: Everything We Know So Far

    Many are clamoring about the downturn in Jeep sales, pricing is certainly a factor, but too few site the exit of two important Jeeps, the Renegade and the Cherokee from the marketplace. What, your kidding! Crazy talk ! No Johnny, it really happened. Nothing. Nada, Zilch. It might be...

    Stellantis Navigates Turmoil: Elkann Charts a New Course

    Seems that Elkann is doing the best anyone could after the debacle of Carlos and his band of merry men. Reorganizing and giving more autonomy to North America seems necessary. My first priority would be improving build quality, reliability, supplier products and the dealer mess now rampant with...

    Next-Gen Alfa Romeo Stelvio Could Be Revealed In March

    Hope Alfa Romeo reconsiders that rear tail light design, to my eyes it’s really ugly and over the top, actually detracting from its luxury appeal sedate formula. I do like the current Stelvio and they have been very popular in my area but clearly the current Stelvio was beyond dated and it...

    AI-Designed 2025 Dodge Challenger Concept Looks Sleek

    Testing the waters on this topic. Often I am more interested in replies to my comments rather than the comment itself. As a Challenger, both original and new generation owner, this is a topic of deep interest to me. Bet you too! I’m more than upset that the electrification agenda at Stellantis...

    AI-Designed 2025 Dodge Challenger Concept Looks Sleek

    It’s a start. I’d like a shorter rear deck lid and rear quarter, a more defined Challenger reminiscent side body sculpture, but this look is fine, shorten wheelbase from the Charger and of course wider strut mounts to accept the Hemi V-8. Yes, absolute requirement here. Rumors swirling...

    Why Dodge Needs to Bring Back the Viper

    The only way Dodge, considering its current situation and corporate financial restraints could bring back the Viper is if Dodge got access to using a Maserati platform. If that foundation could be delivered in “ knock down kit” form then Dodge could build its own styled body panels, engine and...

    Charger Daytona Convertible in the Works from Drop Top Customs

    I guess someone thinks there is a market for this car. Good luck on that.

    Ram’s Electrified Midsize Pickup Delayed as Ford Gains Ground

    Guess you missed the last four years or is it just me. We agree that it seems mistakes were made at Stellantis and financial losses are fact. Must have been influenced by some prevailing thought process. As fans we share the unpleasantness of it all if not agreement on everything. Hopeful on the...

    Ram’s Electrified Midsize Pickup Delayed as Ford Gains Ground

    Let’s be honest, the WOKE, DEI and Green Movements have devastated not only industry, but the core motivational principles people needed to succeed, focus energy and receive honest satisfaction from a job well done. People in all walks of life were intimidated and forced to check a box rather...

    Stunning 1968 Chrysler 300 Convertible Set To Cross Mecum Block

    Those Chrysler emotions run deep and for good reason, one of which appears here in the story line. My emotion has moved to anger, I’m seething with anger at what those overseeing this magnificent brand have done and failed to do. I’ve stated that anyone tasked with reviving Chrysler must spend a...

    Jeep® Launches Bold Campaign for the All-Electric Wagoneer S

    I had high hopes that Jeep would launch this SUV with at least a hybrid to possibly save it. I was so disappointed it will launch as a pure electric only and more than disappointed at its styling. The front and rear are acceptable, but the sides are so lacking in any distinct character elements...

    Leapmotor Set To Reveal REEV C10 Crossover For Europe

    I choose to reject products from China. They are products produced by an oppressive government and should never be sold by Stellantis. You have to stand for something or you stand for nothing at all. Hope this whole venture fails for Stellantis as good folks just say “ no thanks”.

    Leapmotor Set To Reveal REEV C10 Crossover For Europe

    Not thrilled at this illicit relationship with China. Sometimes there are things more important than money. Hope my man Trump will ban vehicles like this and those built by China under the radar in places like Mexico. Many Americans do not realize the deep and fundamental differences between our...

    Dodge Charger Daytona Heads to Europe for 2026 Sources Say

    The six or so Daytona’s that might be bought in Europe will not affect the miserable sales numbers we all know are coming in America. Just a gut prediction. Wish it weren’t so.

    U.S. Senator-Elect Says Stellantis Should Divest American Brands

    I doubt Stellantis will cede their North American operations to any entity, but I do believe the current corporate structure needs change. The Senator offers valid points, but as stated here, the global network is critical to survival in today’s auto business. I’d offer the thought and...

    Stellantis Cuts Back Layoffs at Toledo Assembly

    First off, Merry Christmas to those workers returning. Inflated prices in a struggling economy has consequences and thank goodness the company is reacting to the failed policies quickly. Personally I have a six year old Jeep Cherokee that I usually would have started shopping to trade on a new...

    Stellantis Shifts Focus to Ramcharger as Market Moves to REEVs

    Rumor that 1500 REV and Wagoneer S will be cancelled altogether. Smart decision, if true, as the all electric market is collapsing globally. More telling is that upwards of 50% of current electric owners want out as fast as possible from their bad decision. Pure hybrids have a future, but...

    5 Things I Love About the New Dodge Charger Daytona

    Your thinking is commonly held in Mopar circles. Short comment: I would not bother to squeeze a V-8 into the Charger, as you stated its size and style does not draw many real muscle car fans, but certainly, performance car enthusiasts to the gas and perhaps the electric marketplace. Leave it...

    5 Things I Love About the New Dodge Charger Daytona

    The important take away from this report is the quality of driving characteristics of the Charger that are transferable to the Six Pack. The review highlighted basic engineering accomplishments fundamental to a Charger model that is lighter, less expensive and not burdened by the glitches...
