Its not coming with the old and underpowered .... frankly uncompetitive powertrain. It won't. It will have the new 1.6T with hybrid with 3 speed transmission, it will be interested in how that works guess is the Motor does most of the low torque stuff allowing the trans to have tall gears...
Think they have had new stuff it just never got through implementation. I saw SUV CUSW along side the Pacifica... supplier were far along on the Airflow. The CUSW 300 was ready to go. There are products in the Development funnel, but the ROI has it plugged up. But for goodness sakes they can't...
They cannot just punt, it is suicide. They have to re-engage in meaningful manner. Toyota has been pragmatic which should be no surprise.
STLA went from 0- to total commitment... the opposite of pragmatic. and haven't actual launched anything but the EV Charger that after 18month should have...
Really not the point the point is that people say the class is dying it is not, the Y is the best selling car in the world. That they have NO offering in that range is MIND Boggling. Selling people on EV muscle is a stretch, even the EV muscle Tesla's are modestly sold but a high margin. A...
It is all Marketing, when one says Tradition and Nostaligia, that is Markeeting. and you see it marketed again while the Hurricane has hardly been mentioned no cool logo, no runnig side be side with any classics. It similar to the fact that Hornet PHEV never was marketed as PHEV. It is Mid...
And now you don’t get the Job the L was one the best selling vehicle in STLA North America …. Risking that in brand loyalty to only exists in few die hards would be suicide …. My guess they would sell less than a 1/4 and at nearly no margin
Now lay the specification side by side.... 0-60, 1/4 Mile, tow capacity, weight, mile per gallon. Should have never been a abrupt transition. But make the case for the new powertrain while offering the old.
Notice with this effort they have already made a bigger effort to market the old...
I have a 4xE JGC Summit.... Better seating position than 300, more room an cargo, Level 2 autonomy, air suspension, better in the snow, one of the nicest interior ever done by Mopar, self parking, are the safety gimmicks, awesome sound system, faster then Eagle car, can drive 25 mile without...
I would GO DIRECTLY AT the Y. But with REV. Tall Car, Fastback (which I personally hate) CUV, STLA large short.. Full EV and REV run by the 2.0 or even the 1.3.
Maybe that is what is planned, if so show it, and get the show on the road.
Plan is simple ... why it hard you got me.
Pacifica -...
Last year while at the UK motorsport museum, I didn't realize that, I believe it was Austin (i googled it was Austin and Rover but think they were pretty inbreed at that time), had a mirror program like Chrysler with pilot cars and everything. It no wonder as this is the home country of Whittle...
EV fad didn't end, it never was, at least the steep adoption curve that the product planners hoped, regulators wanted to enforce, or the green movement anticipated.
That doesn't mean it still isn't growing and is a vital part of market share. The top selling car in the World and forth best...
