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...

I am shocked he's still there and not just for the current climate, the design language is supposed to change every so often and they are way overdue for a big change in design language. Tom Gale era, the forgettable guy that made all the cars ugly roblox trash in the mid 2000's, then Ralph...

They have issues at launch, each charger has, but the whole EV thing has clearly been too complex and too fast for them to handle - if that car goes out and doesnt work, burns down garages/houses etc its a multi billion dollar mess they can't afford to fix. The fact they're being held shows...

Elon wouldn't own it, he'd be the Chrysler czar and oversee it being detached from France and put on its own again and find a suitable buyer. Its not a hard job, if well run its 90's Chrysler again and gushing profits building cars people want. It needs a total management flushing and a new...

I dont know? Maybe IT IS the language barrier why a thousand of them are sitting in a holding yard unable to be sold because they dont run. Off to a great start, for a flop car that they are well aware will flop lol Lets face it, they stupidly went all in on EV a few years ago and this is the...

Yeah lets just ignore it :ROFLMAO: Dash to door stitching an inch apart and issues with the air bags among the mechanical reasons they're all still sitting in a holding yard still. Laying off all the domestic engineers making $150K for ones from Brazil for $50,000. Gee, I wonder why the thing...

Lots of problems - right from an anonymous employee in Windsor

Why isnt he being vocal about the company being run into the ground. He had lots to say after Daimler and Cerberus - his voice has weight and he could help get Tavares ousted quicker.

:ROFLMAO: Why do they need a European partner to suck them dry? And side note - where has Mr Gilles been in all of this - silent and weak or waiting for a pension, he certainly doesn't care about the future

Are those emissions targets not just a stroke of a pen though? They say day 1 Keystone XL is back on with gov't backing. If not, they are very poorly managed and set up for the next 12 years. I still think its possible Stellantis gets broken up, Musk oversees Mopar until proper suitors step...

Right from this site a few years back they were working on the 7.0L / 426 and then it was dropped for the Hurricane as the 'cane made more power. To bring it back it would have to be base 300hp, 420hp R/T hurricane, 550hp Scat pack hurricane and then XXXHP supercharged 426 Hemi as the top dog...

Knowing Stellantis STLA LG is just a hacked up LX platform, so yes, probably.

I see he stopped posting back in the summer

A 4.0L TT would also have to work in the HD trucks and its unlikely you'd see that. They go big NA for a reason. Imagine a uHaul truck with a twin turbo 4.0L V8 that has 400hp and 550lbft lol (Ford de-rated the 7.3 down to 325hp in those cases, most need to live with anyone behind the wheel)...

They still need a V8 for the 2500/3500 trucks, the 6.4 is still there but could use an update against the GM 6.6 and Ford 7.3/6.8. Thats what could again do double duty in the charger

Its a (dying liberal) gov't mandate car - not what anyone asked for. Soon the leftists will be a stain on history books but Dodge has to survive this - but all the brainpower quit. HUGE mess to clean up. And what are they doing about 4x4's? The Wrangler is getting slaughtered by the new...
