You would need a V8 to get the level of Hellcat and Demon performance. Unless they can make a 700+ out of the I6.

The car is heavy because of the batteries like any other hybrid or EV.

I’m not a fan of EV but I don’t mind the business reason behind having them. But what annoys me is the sudden and complete shift to EV without regard of multiple key factors, and when you fail and/or the business case fail, you are then stuck with losses

That looks to be Pentastar V6

I’ll say it again what was the percentage of the failure? Yes they were common on the forums and blogs. And as you said, Hellcats were “popping” their engines because of bad operation and not design.

How many millions of HEMIs were ever made and how many had any of the 2 famous ticks?

TBH, I want the V8 to return but not without improvements or redesign. You can just step backwards and bring back a discontinued engine with the same design. Do I want a big displacement V8? Not necessarily. Do I see it coming? I hope so with the current management change.

And you can’t abandon the other half of the consumers and the other 48 states for 2 liberal states. What happened when these 2 states and %50 of the consumers who wanted and already got their EV? Sales slumped hard and automakers started running with their tails between their legs. The better...

I’ll work with your examples of Jeep and Dodge. She could have pitched a platform sharing with either Charger, Hornet, Avenger or Wagoner S. Those examples that came to my mind. But we keep only seeing EV minivans and both, EV or Minivans, are either saw a market switch, I.e. minivans, or didn’t...

Chris Fuel needs to leave Chrysler as well. She had only 2 products when she came and only 1 now. She only since her arrival kept showing vaporware with nothing coming into reality. She’s relying on a strategy that shown to be flawed and apparently she has no backup plan.

This is more evident that Tim left because of Tavares. Let’s see what he can cook, and hopefully we see him helming Dodge.

It’s not only the regulations. It’s also the Koreans whom became major players since the start of the millennium. America’s Big 3 are good when it comes to large cars, full size SUVs and pickups. But the Japanese and Koreans are dominating every other segment, which are more than 60% of the...

Some times, if you have a sounding and a product with a potential, you don’t need to reinvent the wheel. The large, mid and frame politically renamed STLA platforms started development during Sergio era. It would have turn greater than what they are now if the cheap Tavares did not choose to...

Sure under Sergio no new product was developed, but he perfected what was there.

Hope they bring back Mike Manley

The current environment is not like 1998. You can’t operate solo.

Good riddance

CDJR does need someone for the C-platform and smaller and the small engines. These segments are too hard and saturated to develop a product by yourself.

With Nissan’s current news, how about FCA to split from the French and merge with Nissan? Nissan has a better C- and lower platforms and engines but they have to get rid of the CVT

Another European CEO might be good for the European part of the company, but he won’t understand the American market.
