    All-New 2026 Jeep® Cherokee (KM) Prepares for Debut Late 2025

    None of those vehicles are in the same segment as this vehicle. Those vehicles compete against the Compass. Again, the 2026 V6 Honda Passport is what is going to compete against the Cherokee. Guess which will sell more? I’ll put money on it via crypto/bitcoin, I’m dead serious in making a wager...

    All-New 2026 Jeep® Cherokee (KM) Prepares for Debut Late 2025

    So tell me, what are the prices for the non-hybrid models? Because it's going to need to be exceptional to compete in this market. Again - you better hope everyone from Allpar.com buys three of these, because the number of people that wouldn't even consider a sub 2L engine, like multiple people...

    All-New 2026 Jeep® Cherokee (KM) Prepares for Debut Late 2025

    I gotta figure the 2L engine price will be lower...right? Less complexity than the hybrid. This is weird - I get they want this to be a hybrid, but shouldn't the hybrid be a trim/branding unto itself (4xG = Gas, 4xH - H = hybrid, 4xPHEV = Plugin Hybrid, 4xEV = Pure EV, 4xREEV = Range Extended...

    All-New 2026 Jeep® Cherokee (KM) Prepares for Debut Late 2025

    Those vehicles are much smaller than this vehicle. The vehicle you’re thinking of is a 2026 Honda Pilot, which was just introduced, has a V6, and will be around for a long time. So this will be a perfect case study for everyone that has been arguing for four cylinders with hybrids to compete...

    All-New 2026 Jeep® Cherokee (KM) Prepares for Debut Late 2025

    KM is STLA Large. So is WL74/WL75, which will get the the 2.0 GME EVO for 2026. 2.0 GME EVO will fit in KM.

    HEMI® Takeover: Dodge Shocks Media with V8-Only 2026 Durango Lineup

    It's true - I live on Mars, peering through a telescope, trying to discern what STLA will do next. It helps pass the time.

    HEMI® Takeover: Dodge Shocks Media with V8-Only 2026 Durango Lineup

    I guess you guys know better than Tim Kuniskis then, because he's pretty much following everything I've laid out. Just so we know what your scorecard is - where were you on Tavares? Manley? Sergio? I was a huge Sergio supporter - he was a true automotive enthusiast that understood the value of...

    HEMI® Takeover: Dodge Shocks Media with V8-Only 2026 Durango Lineup

    90% of Big 3 EBIT, going back the last 30 years, is almost entirely generated by full size trucks, SUVs, and commercial vehicle sales. Up until crossovers, there was volume in sedans, the volume for which has subsequently tapered off. But even in sedans / mid size crossovers, the profit (unless...

    HEMI® Takeover: Dodge Shocks Media with V8-Only 2026 Durango Lineup

    I'm not going to share granular trade secret information to prove my point because you don't understand basic business and economics - sorry. I've painted the picture in broad strokes which subsequently tracks across other industries, products, and lines of business, of which I gave a specific...

    HEMI® Takeover: Dodge Shocks Media with V8-Only 2026 Durango Lineup

    for something that is framed as inevitable, what do you see for EV sales in the absence of a tax credit, which ends September 30th? I will venture EV sales will decline 15% in 2026 vs 2025, and decline another 10% in 2027. Everyone who wants and can afford one, will have one, by September...

    Take the total number of EVs Ford has sold and divide it by the 2024 and 2025 Ford Model-E division losses.

    Technically they make the most money on AI inference via the MI350 chips vs general compute Zen 5 (Nirvana) chips, but that is another story for another day. The point is - the more specialized/unique, the higher the margin/profit.

    HEMI® Takeover: Dodge Shocks Media with V8-Only 2026 Durango Lineup

    I'll answer it with a thought exercise. AMD makes a number of Zen 5 chips for consumer PCs. Which of those chips do you think they make the majority of their profit on - the volume leaders for entry level PCs, or the X3D chips for gamers? It's the same thing.
