Nope, unless you’re referring to the coupe (which was a stretched Eclipse). The Sebring sedan was based on an updated JA “cloud car” platform and was 100% Chrysler. Same with the Sebring convertible, which was based on a strengthened JA platform with additional crossmembers for greater...

None of those are sold in any Chrysler markets though.

A Chrysler product is going to have better build quality than a comparable Tesla product, and also benefit from a century of experience in packaging and ergonomics. One of the essential elements for a Chrysler comeback is going to be confidence. So long as Chrysler and its customers think they...

A decently loaded Tesla Model 3 is $38K. Chrysler Group won’t even sell you a sedan for less than $50k when the dealer “market adjustments,” “mandatory anti-theft devices,” and other such garbage is piled on. I keep hearing about how expensive EVs are from people who are fans of automakers...

Yep. Then you’re at $45K, plus the typical $5K “market adjustment” that stealerships are piling on to trucks and SUVs. Plus add another $3k for all the other add-ons that nobody wants and which they won’t take off, and you’re at $53K. Meanwhile, Tesla will deliver a brand new high-end Model Y...

The ICE and hybrid will be slow and inefficient in comparison. The EVs will be way, WAY faster. Dodge is the performance muscle brand. Leading with the performance muscle configurations makes sense; the ICE cars will be for folks who want an inefficient, slower and less reliable ICE out of...

EV sales aren’t “stalling.” Tesla just announced 38% YOY sales growth and the new Model 3 is both lower cost and better than not only the previous generation Model 3, but most sedans in its size class (including ICE cars). Meanwhile, visit your local CDJR dealer, Ford dealer, GM store or...

The gas guzzler tax, plus emissions credit requirements, make a Hemi car a non-starter at $100K or more… and it won’t accelerate as quickly nor have a top speed as high as the base EV. People need to stop yearning for obsolete tech and move on. It’s dead and gone forever.

Hemis are dead and gone. They don’t meet emissions standards, and a mid-tier EV will outperform, out-accelerate and out-handle most any Hemi.

I'm aware of this old-school thinking, and it's one of the things that is eroding Stellantis down to the danger zone. "Plentiful hydrocarbon" cars are in a sales free-fall; modern EVs are growing far faster. With fossil fuel vehicles, Chrysler is exiting entire segments, shutting down plants...

The problem is that the ten year mark started a year ago, and Chrysler isn’t planning any new product for another two years. That means almost a third of that ten year mark will have passed before a single new vehicle is launched, and a majority of it will have passed before the brand has a...

Out of sight, out of mind. These events remain popular, and Stellantis will lose consideration from people engaged enough to attend them. It’s notable that as Stellantis USA stalls and the former Chrysler slips into fourth place of U.S. auto makers, behind a surging Tesla, Tesla is...

The sales numbers don’t support your argument. Americans are leaving big heavy HEMI gas guzzlers on dealer lots — where the supply is over a year at current sales numbers for vehicles like the LX body Dodges. Meanwhile, Tesla is posting strong sales growth and knocked former Chrysler into...

With the $20K VinFast on its way, the era of EVs is coming just as fast as the Hondas, Toyotas, Datsuns and VWs of the 70s killed off big block V8 cars and replaced them with 4 cylinder front drive. Tesla now sells significantly more cars than Chrysler, Dodge, Jeep and RAM combined will sell...

This reminds me of all the old timers in the 70s and 80s who said there was no future in 4 cylinder FWD, and almost ran Chrysler into the ground until Iacocca did the K-car. It’s time to wake up and smell the coffee. Tesla’s sales in 2023 alone are about 20% higher than Chrysler, Dodge, Jeep...
