Large as in STLA Large not in Physical size. Those Vans are very commercial and drive and feel like commercial vehicles. Have experience with them in the EU.
The Pacifica is a premium product and belongs on a premium platform. That doesn't mean those vehicles shouldn't be offered as RAMs that...
So your saying they are making a slower RAM with a appearance package, louder exhaust note, and 2 extra cylinders.
I know people love the idea of the Hemi, and wow what a market job it is, but in the end it will be full second slower... Lets celebrate our slowness and thirst, but it RUMBLES...
Medium is too small for the USA marker CUSW is not the far of the Large, expect the Large to be next minivan. Once this occurs it could be offered elsewhere. Europe does not really embrace that size vehicle as a van although it could be offered, where it would work is China.
Just a reminder that Buick is supported by a certain foreign maket.... But I like idea... Tall Cars, well equipped. Not Jeep...Not Dodge.
Like I have been explaining Cost structure is horrible as the Utilization is a disaster. Launches are a disaster. They have to get utilization up, cash...
We just need another clone a 100K Rderiderbob's and we would have a ROI... We would have a 300 already had the Lincoln not fallen on it face. Instead Lincoln is extremely successful where Jeep take up of the brand space.
That is was serviceable for Father doesn't change the fact that it was a poorly developed and engineered car, that through pure need was made serviceable.
It Mitsubishi brother was a better vehicle and that sad. Comfort, driving dynamics, quality of design, interior, build quality..... all...
Chrysler niche as luxury domestic Sedans ... DIED... especially when Dumbler made it Plymouth. Aside, from this time the 90s Chrysler for the most part was a fancy version more mainstream brands like Maxwell, Plymouth, Desoto, Dodge, hell one was even a Eagle.
Look at what Vbon pointed at...
worst Mopar I ever owned, I was embarrassed by how bad it was.
If you mean a D Segment CUV .... with 3 rows .... Yes.... if you mean some in sort of just cheap poo as a cheap price... KIA and Mitsubishi have that market cornered.
Yes the population here seems project their wants and desires on the grander market when it reality we are the exceptions.
Not to say we are part of a profitable niche... but overall we are not the grand market. Look at the comments about Hybrids.. that is standard fair now nearly everyone...
I think you get beyond 3 models in your pull system it just becomes unmanageable and you go backwards not to mention how tight the lineside floor space would be become. I think you would need two lines to do 7 well, if your going bring down cost you have make thing more simple. Toyota is moving...
He has got it backassward ..... when margins turned upside down, Honda and Toyota didn't stop building product, they doubled down on product. They didn't idle nearly half the capacity, they made sure that capacity was full. They didn't add product complexity they removed it.
Nearly every...
Yes CUV is just the return of the upright vehicles that predated the 60s. Ifs all about efficiency between the wheels, especially since vehicle given speed limits and suspension and safety. Sedan is not the best way to move goods and people.
Chrysler bigger issue is the redefinition of...
Some of these arguments are sad because it makes you dig into what was once one the best powerplants in the world. In a static environment its not a bad arguement. The problem is that it is not a static environment and market place moves on.
I loved my Pentastar vehicles at the time, I loved...
People continue to project their own bias into the market place. That one would say put a lazy old powertrain in it or I won't buy it, shows it. Please Please put something that is heavy, underpowered, poorly packaged, and less efficient..... is NOT a broader market position.
Lets sit it...
