    Ram Poised for NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series Return in 2026

    I have barely watched any NASCAR race at all since 2012 myself. But I'm happy to hear that Ram is returning and that Dodge may soon follow. For Dodge it will be a good way to market the new Charger, so the sooner, the better. And I don't like that the truck series all use the same generic motor...

    Dodge CEO Hints at Affordable Sports Car

    If the Fiat Spyder was marketed as a Dodge instead of a Fiat, it would have sold better. It shares the underpinnings with the Mazda Miata.

    Dodge CEO Hints at Affordable Sports Car

    I owned a Fiat Spyder for a few years and loved it. It was very fun to drive. It looked great and was fun to shift gears and feel the road again. It was a real sports car in the true sense.

    REPORT: 5.7-liter HEMI® V8 Production To Move To The U.S.

    Is there anyone or anything that you won't argue with? Get a life man. We are supposed to be having fun and being enthusiastic about our favorite automaker. You are still putting words in my mouth that I didn't say. Please argue or find fault with someone else. I can see that hasn't been a...

    REPORT: 5.7-liter HEMI® V8 Production To Move To The U.S.

    Please stop putting words in my mouth that I didn't say. I did not blame poor RAM 2024 sales on a lack of a V8. RAM needed a refresh and got one for 2025. Lack of a V8 for 2025 could hurt RAM sales but we won't know for a few more months. I'm hoping for better sales and success with the I6 but I...

    REPORT: 5.7-liter HEMI® V8 Production To Move To The U.S.

    Dodge stayed afloat and relevant the last 15 years or so because they made some head turning, amazing V8 powered cars. Even with cars that were rather long in the tooth. The Dodge buying public is confused and disappointed in what the company has to offer right now. I'm sure sales are abysmal...

    REPORT: 5.7-liter HEMI® V8 Production To Move To The U.S.

    Moving engine production from Mexico to the US won't be an inexpensive feat to accomplish. The 5.7 is a great motor but it could use some updating. Let's hope that some of the gen 4 features are incorporated into this. I'm sure they would need to sell a good number of these to recoup the cost of...

    Stellantis Ends Remote Era, Orders Employees Back to Office

    When working as a team, it's best to be face to face at times.

    Stellantis Ends Remote Era, Orders Employees Back to Office

    It's about time. Let's get back to work people. We have cars and trucks to design. I enjoyed the WFH status during COVID but was ready to come back to the office a year later. It's 2025 now and COVID has been over for quite some time. The Union folks are there assembling vehicles so why are the...

    Charger Daytona Convertible in the Works from Drop Top Customs

    I actually love the look of this. However, it needs a potent sounding ICE and a 6 sp manual to complete the package for me. Some may like this as an electric. Dodge needs to find customers wherever they can.

    Stellantis Confirms Midsized Pickup Production at Belvidere in 2027

    I've owned 2 Dakotas in the past and loved them. They were very capable trucks for being mid-size. I hope the new one lives up to the legacy of the previous ones.

    Tim Kuniskis Says “No” to Stellantis CEO Role

    He's exactly what Stellantis needs in a CEO. We need a product guy. Someone who loves making great cars and trucks that not only inspire the workers but the car buying public as well. Unfortunately, when you have factories and interests in major global markets where needs and politics are...

    The Dukes of Hazzard Celebrates 46 Years Today

    No TV show or movie did more to present the Dodge Charger as one of the most iconic muscle cars of it's era and all time. Let's hope we can say that about the new 2025 Charger someday.

    Stellantis Chairman Met With Trump Before Inauguration

    This is good news. Elkann is well connected and a very smart guy. He went straight to the source which is exactly what he needed to do. I'm sure he has a plan forward now for the Mopar brands or I hope he does. Personally, I'm not a fan of tariffs unless we are not getting a fair deal or don't...

    President Trump Pulls the Plug on Electric Vehicle Push

    The Mustang has always been a niche vehicle with no real backseat. They should just make it a 2 seater with a hatch and be done with it. It's a halo car, but it's a bada$$ halo car. The issues with GM on the engines and transmissions are, from what I have been told by people who should know, is...

    President Trump Pulls the Plug on Electric Vehicle Push

    I suspect some of the CARB state voters, such as California, may be having a change of heart on how their state is governed, in light (no pun intended) of recent events in that state. I feel a movement is going to happen and drop kick Newsom and a few others out of office. Californians also love...

    President Trump Pulls the Plug on Electric Vehicle Push

    I'm sure Trump will schedule a meeting with the auto execs, like he did 8 years ago, and reach an agreement on how to move forward. Killing the electric car mandate is a good plan since we don't have the infrastructure to support it anyway. And, as I'm snowed in today, I'm also listening to my...

    Ram CEO Leaves Door Open for HEMI® V8 Comeback in Ram 1500

    The recently retired 5.7L Eagle V8 engine dates back to 2003 and had some needed modifications in 2009. Since then it has been unchanged except for the addition of e-torque in 2019. It performed amazingly well in that 22 year span. The Hemi name itself helped sell a lot of cars and trucks. If...

    BREAKING: Chrysler C6X (CA) Electric SUV Development Suspended

    I thought all new Chrysler product was going to be BEV. Is that changing now? I like this change if it is true. But why cancel a new BEV if it is so close to production? Chrysler needs something now. Even a BEV would be something.
