    FIAT Will Introduce The 500e To The North American Market On Thursday!

    Wow, awesome decision! I hope this is the start of bringing electrified Fiats to the US. Hope the Abarth version also goes to the US. :) I think this model will be perfect for CARB markets.

    I am hearing they are rethinking the end of the V8 for Charger/Challenger

    Aaaah, I wasn't aware of this. It makes the decision make more sense.

    I am hearing they are rethinking the end of the V8 for Charger/Challenger

    It's dumb to go EV only in the US. Hyping up the EV as the top version? Sure, it's the only way to have a model that is competitive in 0-60 times nowadays. Removing ICE engines removes a nice venue of revenue. Maserati GranTurismo has an ICE and EV version. The Grecale as well. Why not do the...

    CAUGHT: We Get Our First Look At The Ram 1500 Battery-Electric Pickup!

    This vehicle is extremely important, and I feel that the 500-mile range is crucial for the success of BEV full-size pick-ups. A pick-up with 500-miles of range in testing conditions with an empty bed is one thing, but it was pretty clear with the electric F-150 that a loaded pick-up loses too...

    Carlos Keynote speech at Paris Autoshow

    Who are "they"? Every government of developed countries do whatever it takes to have the auto manufacturers or suppliers installed in their countries. It's crucial for the economies of those countries, and usually when factories are installed in a country it will stay there for at least a decade...

    Carlos Keynote speech at Paris Autoshow

    I'd like to know more about the 500e Abarth as well. I liked the leaked photo but am curious about the power the engine will do and if they'll use a bigger battery pack. I think that there's a lot of untapped potential in BEV charging for companies to offer more charging spots. I cannot fathom...

    What ICE Engine Is Under The Hood Of The New Jeep® Avenger (JJ)?

    The main issue is the belt, so hopefully that fixes it.

    FIAT Toro Will Get Four-Wheel Drive (4×4) With Turbo 1.3-liter Inline-Four-Cylinder Engine!

    A shame that this model (or an SUV based on it) never came to Europe. Sacrifices for pursuing a merger...

    What ICE Engine Is Under The Hood Of The New Jeep® Avenger (JJ)?

    Pity they didn't go with the 1.0 GSE. The 1.2 Puretech has some reliability issues and developed a reputation...

    Carlos Keynote speech at Paris Autoshow

    Well, we sure can grumble in forums anyway. 😬 But we can also be excited about the different product that is coming even if it's not what we would personally love. As for Chrysler, in Portugal in the 90s they left a very good impression. They were perceived as a semi-premium brand. Granted...

    Carlos Keynote speech at Paris Autoshow

    The times have changed and it's not only the old Chrysler group that cannot come back to be as it was. Many companies with a storied history have been absorbed around the world. Look at the japanese brands that have been absorbed by Toyota. Subaru, Mazda... Great companies in their own right...

    Jeep® Will Present Its First Production BEV In Paris On October 17th!

    Comparison of interiors with the 500e: You can see some similarities in a few molds. And obviously on the uConnect system.

    Zapped - Hornet PHEV won't be eligible for $7500 EV credit

    The Y production in Berlin is already ongoing and sales in Europe shot up thanks to that this last month.

    Jeep® Will Present Its First Production BEV In Paris On October 17th!

    I love the rear design. And the trunk is bigger than the one from the Renegade. You can fit a lot of junk in it 😬:

    But it seems they took some lessons from eMini.

    Zapped - Hornet PHEV won't be eligible for $7500 EV credit

    Tesla exports the Model S and X to Europe I think? The thing is: they might receive the EV subsidies, but they're not exempt from tariffs.

    Zapped - Hornet PHEV won't be eligible for $7500 EV credit

    The issue is not that. US made EVs receive the same subsidies in Europe as the european ones. Just as chinese EVs do, or japanese. This is opening the door in the US for european made EVs to receive the federal incentive. If this is the case then the Hornet PHEV will have access to the subsidy.
