This all leads back to the basic premise : the only job security is a product that sells. That’s for any employee top to bottom. In pretty much any industry. And therefore I feel for those employed by Snailspace- anthills. One other take away from this: no new midsize pu til who knows when. By...

I I think what you’re saying is correct. And the key here is bad management that keeps showing up in every facet of what they are doing. The next three years are supposedly a new launch bonanza. They’d better whack every one out of the park or this 15 year European soap opera is over. And...

Glad I’m not a Dodge dealer. Maybe they still have plenty of Hornets to sell. I’m sure that’s a real revenue dream for them .

Fine , stick a 2025 label on it and roll. To my point, you’ve been around this business your whole life - who launches a current year model at the end of a calendar year. ? They are saddling their dealers once again with unnecessary hills to climb. Just make them all 2025s.

Are they really going to launch these as 2024 models in fourth qtr 2024? As the rest of the world launches 2025s?

Wow! It sounds like …… a V8. Just what I’ve always wanted. No wait, forgot, I already have a real one that’s old and doesn’t have smog controls so never mind. That one should really lasso the hold outs and bring em to the table. Am I the only one who ever steps back and horse laughs at the...

Botto Elkann, momma, Peugeot, whoever. Bottom line , this fairytale ride our world economy has taken due to reactionary , unnecessary government spending due to Covid is coming to a quick end . Look around at the headlines , go to the grocery store and see how far $100 will get you. The...

You’ve made some good points. I will tell you in the end as far as I can see they were and are just working for the billionaire yacht club and in the end he will sell it to the Chinese and move on. He may love his car playground , but he loves his billions more and this bunch he has in charge...

Bill I appreciate your insight and admire your never failing optimism. Unfortunately, I have reached the end of my road. Mopar is dead. The last vestiges will be whatever half baked ideas some Frenchie can dream up to milk another dime out of the name value of Jeep. If we see the brands, and...

I would . He is the very reason we all sit here now staring at an empty cupboard of new product .

So why else was she hired? Her extensive automotive background? Give me a break. She checked a box. She has done nothing . None of these place holder do anyway. Elkann has milked this North American money cow for close to fifteen years now and given crap back. And now it’s all coming to roost ...

DOA

Just make flatulence an option like Tesla . Very appropriate for the genre.

With clear signs of a recession coming, Stell-anus finds itself in the worst possible position. Should we question the long term viability of this mess in North America ?

Wonder if this rocket scientist ever stopped to consider what his comments might do to potential customers who are , or at least were, considering a stellanus brand vehicle ? Think they might have second thoughts there Mr. Chairman ? Yes he’s beyond a moron.

Behold your new Mopars. Any you old Mopar heads remember what Lido would have called that little green one back in the day?

So the window between small commenters and opulent suvs is “narrow”? And since when did we have to relegate a performance sedan to one “brand”? Seems like I recall a few Chryslers Plymouths Dodges and even Desotos , Oldsmobile, Pontiac , Buick, Mercury Chevy that were marketed as performance...

This all ended May 1998 anyway. The last five years have been especially agonizing as we waited holding our breath for new fresh product on anything not wearing a Jeep label. In hindsight, that was the euro leaders keeping suckers like me on the hook through one more buying cycle . Meanwhile...

French Car Maker Struggles In North America. Seems like I might have seen that headline somewhere before.
