    REPORT: Ram Has NASCAR Discussion With At Least One Cup Team

    Rarely watch a Cup race since Dodge left. Love to watch again but I need a team to root for and get excited about. Can’t wait for Dodge to return and win, win, win.

    2027 Jeep® Avenger Launching in Brazil with Four Trims

    This well thought out Avenger can work better in this format as a global entry level Jeep that will explode sales in many markets. At this point I don’t see enough demand or plans for this in the U.S. where the Renegade or Compass will start the Jeep line domestically. Right now I project the...

    Fiat Unveils 2026 Toro Pickup With Modern Design And More Tech

    OK, my bad, updated. Point is, you can’t update something you need but don’t have. My thoughts turn to the logic of a group of vehicles built in a U.S. plant off the upcoming Jeep Compass on the STLA mid-size platform yielding a Ram compact truck off shoot and other vehicles like a couple of...

    Agnelli Family Shifts Gears: Iveco Sale Marks End Of Fiat Truck Era

    Looks to me like moving forward intelligently. Looks to me like Stellantis is moving to greater autonomy for their North American operations. Looks to me that all, and I mean ALL American brands will bring much new product designed and built for Americans by Americans. Stellantis will be in a...

    Fiat Unveils 2026 Toro Pickup With Modern Design And More Tech

    Nice new truck. Fiat rolls out a new truck, Ram rolls out….a compact nothing. Hopefully the next generation Jeep Compass, necessarily finding a factory home in America, can spin off compact pickup for Ram. We have been waiting too long.

    Ram Brazil Simply The Rampage Lineup For 2026

    It has become plain to me that THIS Rampage will not come stateside. I think it’s not the product, it’s the manufacturing issue. The whole problem, I’m speculating, is finding a manufacturing home for the next generation Jeep Compass and its logical spin-offs in the US. I believe the Compass...

    Scott Krugger Named Head Of North America Design At Stellantis

    It sure looks like there are huge possibilities, based on who is running the show now, of many amazing products coming our way. You and everyone else have the pleasure of speculation. Keep it up. I have been saying for some time that once the demon in all things Mopar is let free, a closer look...

    Scott Krugger Named Head Of North America Design At Stellantis

    Frankly, I’m excited about the appointment of Scott Krugger to this crucial position, anticipating fresh, yet experienced eyes on styling that is solidly “American Focused”. That last Viper was genius and under recognized as such. His influence to my critical eyes has been dramatic under...

    Brampton Plant Workers Growing “Concerned” Over Stellantis Production Pause

    Ouch ! Such anger and resentment. Obviously you do not understand our enormously popular President’s efforts to realign global economics that are fair and beneficial to the United Sates after decades of weak foreign/economic policy. You even appear to have little knowledge of Mussolini who...

    Brampton Plant Workers Growing “Concerned” Over Stellantis Production Pause

    They should be concerned. They should focus their efforts and concerns on the Canadian government to “get real” and make the trade deal. Our President is winning at every level, cutting deals that benefit Americans, no recession, no inflation and bringing trillions in investments to America and...

    1968 B029 HEMI® Barracuda Prototype Heads to Mecum Indy 2025

    As fate would have it my serious drag racing days and Bullet Bobs days crossed paths a few times at races. I ran a ‘69 Barracuda and frankly I replicated these Hemi cars, following religiously the factory construction blueprints, and eyeballing and asking advice on building these A body drag...

    Cassino Assembly Plant Shuts Down Again Amid Weak Demand

    No surprise here. Although the cars manufactured here are good products, they are all dated and owners coming out of earlier models want something new. Rode around in someone’s Stelvio last week and looking around the interior, it just felt old. Simple reason, just like other products from...

    CAUGHT: 2026 Dodge Charger Outlaw Rips Through Detroit Streets

    There can be many engine sounds that are exciting, project performance and please the listener, even dirt bikes which this Six Pack sounds nothing like to my ears. I have a V-6 Crossfire that differs a lot from my Hemi Challenger but it certainly sounds good and makes me smile. I like this Six...

    Discovering the Chrysler That Never Was

    As a Chrysler Crossfire roadster owner I know something important. I was driving my Crossfire around my area on Long Island yesterday, top down, beautiful weather, heading to Louie’s restaurant in Port Washington and I turned to my wife and said ………. “ buying this car was one of the best...

    CAUGHT: 2026 Dodge Charger Outlaw Rips Through Detroit Streets

    I am truly captivated by this Six Pack Charger. It’s not a Hemi Challenger for sure, but it IS a gorgeous performance coupe that is AWD with lots of power to please most enthusiasts. If your a Hemi Challenger owner, like me, in truth you must admit that these cars can be a bit of a challenge in...

    TSR Nitro Duo Preps for Seattle Showdown

    Is that a Hemi in that car, of course it is, just like in every funny car out there. Time to get a new Charger coupe body on these monsters. I think , however, that these cars have lost interest as these bodies evolve further and further away from anything looking stock to some spec race car...

    Sources Say Ram 1500 TRX Will Return In Early 2026

    Let the party begin! Lots of work to be done, lots of ground to make up, lots of bad press to negate, but none-the-less, it’s party time in Mopar town again. You bring the drinks, I’ll bring the chips, Tim can bring the fast stuff.

    Ram Society Launches in Argentina to Bring Owners Together

    I’ve had a sentimental love affair with Argentina since I studied about this amazing country in sixth grade Geography class. Gauchos, the Juan and Evita era and beautiful Buenos Aires., the Paris of South America. Things got worse when my son visited Argentina two years ago and he too fell in...
