Great seeing Tim back at the helm of Dodge, he never should have been taken away from it. Alfa, in my opinion just needs to continue focusing on the product and even more important they need to double down on marketing. If they stop telling people about Alfa its just going to languish and die...

Using a modified L platform with giulia bits would be a way to update the charger/challenger while keeping them and the Alfa cars in their own lanes. Nobody wants to pay 90K for a Giulia quad knowing he could have bought a Dodge version with a 392 hemi for 40K. It works out for the Cadillacs...

I think the only way we'll see a dodge body with giulia bits is if the guilia continues to sell at a snails pace and they have to start making their investment back, and even that is a stretch but Chrysler has done weirder things.

Dodge hasn't had a new product since the dart and anything Renault could offer, they already have. Period. No use sugar coating it - this was either an attempt to offload FCA or raid Renaults bank account.

What diversification do they need? They literally have everything already. Electric cars that don't make money???? They have made some poor decisions and I think this was supposed to bail them out of it. Over investing into Alfa, cars that barely sell no matter the region was the biggest...

I still don't see why FCA needs a partner. They need money, sure, but the "merger" that happened back in 2008/2009 was going to be great because Fiat had the small engines and FWD cars and Chrysler had the V8's, SUV's and trucks. Pull Fiat out of north America and push them into Brazil/south...

I don't think the 19 ram hemi has an aluminum block - I do know that you can get 392 and 426 aluminum 3rd gen hemi blocks from Mopar though

You could put some multimatic DSSV shocks in one, like the gen5 Z/28 had and the gen6 ZL1 1LE has along with some sticky rubber - that would go a long way. Weight will then be an issue, as crazy as the gen5 Z/28 was (LS7 427 power) it got beat by the gen6 SS 1LE.

Fixed - and my money is on the 1LE, but it would be interesting to see what they can do with the challenger

There are no synergies with Dodge, Ram or Jeep - this is a life line to Fiat I am afraid and maybe some rebadged Chryslers that nobody will touch, which I am sure they are already aware of. All I see is an attempt to offload FCA here.

Great, more brands for Ram and Jeep to subsidize - and guys are cheering for this, wow.

The paper thin body panels are not what makes those cars porky

Is Dodge working on anything new?

I notice they said the head of Mopar role has been handed off to someone else but nothing about Dodge or Chrysler in that article? Guys don't generally retire from positions like he had, maybe the sales slump got him the boot - or something much worse is afoot that goes without mention.

Camaro is also designed to really only appeal to younger guys where the challenger appeals to young and old. That's when you realize how much better the challenger could be doing in sales if it had a more sporty chassis like the camaro.

They are going to keep cranking the prices of their vehicles higher and while this turns away buyers (have you seen the dive in sales?) they should still be making money, but apparently that isn't the case either. And this is his answer "Manley promies the second half will be better once the...

I am currently shopping for a '19 SS and I've been wishing they had just put the LT1 in the regular body as I think it looks better than the SS and now my wish has been granted, problem is I wanted one soon, not this fall just in time for winter but we'll see how things play out. This car is...

The only widely known info they let out was during the Leno redeye episode when Steve said they were testing a car and trying to get it into the 8's
