A new version of the ZF8 transmissions have an electric motor right in them, so there's your I4 and I6 hybrids. I "believe" it adds around 250lbft of torque which would help the performance cause. Even better if you could get 50-100 miles pure EV range in some applications too. The V8 will...

Regardless how wide the car is, they come stock with 305's front and 325's rear, with no flares. The previous gen wide bodies added the flares so could run 305's. If they add flares to this car, which I assume they will, means it'll fit monster meats under it. This was all built in at the...

Toaster girl sure didnt last long at Ram - why is she still in charge of resuscitating Chrysler then?? Its a way harder job.

Gen2 garage did a fair review of it Since 2005 the Charger has always been hated when a new one debuts. I didn't even like the 2012-2014 SRT but later bought one. They just need to refine this, the car looks fine

His hands aren't clean, but this is his chance to clean them - he was working under a WEF member hack and slasher which must have been horrific in its own. I hope he is given the CEO job of the entire America side. Some Frenchie can run the Euro side and the bean counters can get busy on...

I think its 10+ years too early, should still be hemi powered - only when sales were threatened by EV competition should they have made the switch, Its a perfect example of the car nobody asked for - even the 6cyl is going yo be a tough sell to enthusiasts. The issue here is Dodge spent all...

He was yes, but he also seems like a guy that will admit he was wrong. That was NOT happening with Tavares. He was driving the company off a cliff and didnt care because he had a golden parachute to save him

X2 this is just to get him back in the saddle, IMO he'll end up running North America

I agree 100% their profits should have been spent back on Dodge, Chrysler (especially) trucks and Jeep - but he had obligations to Italy. This is why I argue they dont and never did need a partner. This however should not shade on Sergios leadership back then - he fixed them, period. Lets...

This was the argument back in 2009 "Chrysler needs a small car partner". Fast forward 3 years and they're gushing profits from the US and dumping them into Alfa that went nowhere instead of Chrysler, Dodge and Jeep where they should have been going. Small cars were never a factor. Daimler did...

Oh yes they can. Lift the guise of liberal red tape regulation and let them rip. Dodge, Dodge truck, Jeep and Chrysler can be very prosperous in just USA and Canada - a market of 400 million. Terrible economy today, but it'll be back very soon - probably like you've never seen in your...

Lots of yelling and screaming but I ask again, what should they have added? And for the time - not today. You anti Sergio guys really cannot grasp the fact Chrysler would not exist had he not stepped up (go read Steve Rattners book from back then, they WERE going to be liquidated if nobody...

What were they supposed to add to the line up? They already had everything - this is an amateur hour argument you are trying to make

They re-developed the core vehicles that sold. What were the sales of the lo-po tupperware 2010 challenger or charger versus, I dont know, a 2018 challenger or charger? They didnt need to introduce anything new. The products needed to be as good as they could be and Marchionne did that. Do I...

Daimler left a bunch of rubbermaid interior junk. The 2011 Charger had 4 ugly square tail lights and the same rubbermaid interior. The Cerberus guys made updates to it and then Sergio added a further series up upgrades which included the racetrack rear tail lights. They did this also with the...

I have first hand experience with working under a European brought over to run a brand in NA (without mentioning names). No. Freaking. Clue. Sums it up. Marketing all wrong, incentives all wrong, product planning all wrong - everything. He even went on to lead some pretty large brands purely...

Took them long enough! Guy was a dud from the get go, an expensive dud.

Chrysler, Dodge, Dodge truck and Jeep do not need any partners and never did. They need to be set free again on their own - let Trump negotiate them out of being blocked from Asia and Europe. Iacocca on this decades ago...

The last time there was dire need for a new American CEO Bill Ford had to court Alan Mulally from Boeing back in 2006. I am unaware of anyone that could hit the ground running like he did, but they're out there I am sure. Has to be a car person, has to know manufacturing, has to know sales...

If he wanted it he could dig in his couch for change and buy it tomorrow. He doesn't want any of them - why would he? It may not be him, but another Car Czar (IMO) will be enlisted to clean up the mess and get them a new buyer. Steve Rattner was the last car czar and back then they were...
