    Tavares is leaving Stellantis?

    Good point - another sub $30k usable vehicle. Not a lot of Chrysler vehicles in this space.

    Tavares is leaving Stellantis?

    I feel the automotive industry is on the precipice of a correction. High priced vehicles that are unaffordable by anyone but the early/eager adopters. BEV vehicles too high priced for anyone but the early/eager/eco adopters. If you want to keep #s in your quarter reports, I would have a low...

    Stellantis Will Cut About 630 Temporary Employees At Mulhouse In France

    The next two years are going to be tough for automotive manufacturers. Early adopters of EVs are mostly satisfied, mainstreamers are waiting for prices to settled, and we the laggards will lag, so they can't attract customers with EVs. ICE buyers likely bought in the last few years (based on...

    European 2024 Jeep® Renegade Looks To Be Getting An Update

    500x getting same interior treatment or is it left to use up remaining supplier stock? I've always liked the 500x size as a PT replacement, but the interior is just not NA enough for me. The Renegade was similar and thus I shied away...

    Stellantis Is Pulling Out Of North American Auto Shows

    Shows are not as popular across many industries. The pendulum will swing and a decade or two from now it will be niche and get a lot of attention. Chrysler is just ahead of the game like Apple's removal of floppy drives, and dropping CDROMs, and dropping out of trade shows as well. I bet...

    EV Prototype Caught Fire At Chrysler Tech Center, Last Month

    I had a similar thought, for years we have learned to stay away from fuels and the large tanks with the danger symbols. The stable/solid batteries are not something we tend to associate with a ton of potential energy. Q: Do haulers carrying *LiOn battery packs stop at all railroad tracks like...

    Elements made it into the first 200 (exterior) and last 200 (the interior angled console w/ pass through).

    LEAKED: Upcoming Subcompact Lancia Ypsilon Shown

    The tastes of Euro customers differs from that in the United States and Canada. This is why the Fiat 500 fleet is one of the higher selling vehicles when compared with the N.A. counterparts

    Chrysler Pacifica Earns TOP SAFETY PICK in Latest IIHS Testing

    I really have never understood why this is not hammered home in marketing. Suburu has done this to the degree most think they and Volvo are the safety cars. If anything in the last six years have we learned - if you continue to make confident statements about something - irrespective of the...

    Upcoming Dodge Charger Daytona Will Feature A Functional Frunk

    When storage compartments were in the front of a vehicle in the days past, what was the compartment called? Can we not just use that name still ?

    Meet The Range Extending 2025 Ram 1500 Ramcharger Pickup

    Good question @TripleT if the Pacifica is the genesis of this model. I'm surprised if it is All Electric drivetrain, why it needed a v6 for charging. I guess if you want to accomplish 14k towing you need something to produce some serious kW. Does that leave open the opportunity for a 4 or 3...

    What is the sentiment on the Leapmotor arrangement and how does it change the strategy/plan

    With Stellantis doing a Joint Venture with Leapmotor how does that change the strategy for EVs in N.A.? Will this be a pipeline for Chrysler or Dodge? Will it leverage Leap for manufacturing of a Chrysler or other brand vehicle akin to what Build and Chevy are doing (in Korea) ? -OR- Is this...

    LEAKED: Two-Door Dodge Charger Daytona Body-In-White

    The tunnel, can that double as a battery compartment as well meaning architects are mindful of being more agile to demand, politics, and buyer sentiment ?

    The new STLA Medium platform in detail

    The subscription concept is a fad (hopefully) that is something that 1/2 the people hate and 1/2 the people love. If you can appease the haters by making the subscription for "updates" or "new" unreleased features that is something the 1/2 haters can pallet as they can have their o.g. features...

    END OF TOUR: Dodge Charger Pursuit Gets Ready To Go "10-42"

    Does someone have a link to the % that use Chargers versus SUVs or other body styles? I still see them at the state and local level in abundance.

    UAW VP Says Stellantis Has Threaten To Move Ram 1500 Production To Mexico

    I'm been lead to believe if you say anything with enough confidence and enough times, many people will believe it to be true. Sadly, that is all you need.

    SPOTTED: Ram Rampage Big Horn 4x4 Compact Pickup In Michigan

    I guess I'll never shake the size of the rampage in my head, when I look at this how much smaller than the 1500 is this? Pretty soon the B52s will start singing about their Chrysler that is as big as a whale again, and then we'll get the 80s all over again. Kidding aside - anyone have a...

    Stellantis and other auto companies, including GM and Mercedes, to battle Tesla with new charging JV for NA

    Yep, could you imagine the adapter portfolio you would have if 120v outlet adapters were never standardized.
