    Carlos Tavares Warns Stellantis Could Split Apart In The Future

    Ruin a company / write a book. The arrogance never ends with this guy. Guy needs a good a— kicking. Back in the day I’d take his lunch money from him as a mercy tribute. Jerk.

    2026 Dodge Journey Continues Its Winning Formula in Mexico

    Seems almost like a never ending nightmare, Mexico has a Journey, Brazil a Rampage and a Renegade and we got paper weights in the Wagoneer S and the Charger Daytona, Recon to follow. Is it possible we have gone so far wrong, our pipeline of new product is delayed beyond imagination and what we...

    Jeep® Wrangler 4xe Over-The-Air (OTA) Update Leaves Owners Stranded

    How much more embarrassment can Jeep take over its ill conceived electrification blunders ? And now they launch a concocted hybrid only powered Cherokee that spells more potential bad results for this nonsensical blundering in a segment where they had big success. A vital segment abandoned by an...

    Everything You Need To Know About The 2026 Jeep® Cherokee

    I awaited with anticipation for this new Cherokee, certainty to fill the huge hole in the Jeep lineup, but also to replace my soon eight year old Cherokee. Boy am I disappointed, I just don’t like it. I don’t like the boxy styling, especially the front with that odd plastic accents on the lower...

    Ex-Penske 2011 Dodge Charger NASCAR Cup Car Hits BringATrailer

    How I miss my Dodges on the race circuit. I don’t watch NASCAR after Dodge exited and it’s amazing how I’ve lost any interest. As a true performance brand Dodge must be deeply involved in NASCAR Cup and NHRA Factory Stock and Stock Eliminator classes much more than currently with competitive new...

    Ram Teases It’s Upcoming Dakota Midsize For South America

    Ram South America should receive praise not only for great product, but for setting the table for North America Ram’s return to the mid-size market with its own pickup. Is that my stomach growling?? We can place blame, point fingers and wring out hand in frustration or we can be inspired...

    Dodge Recalls 298,000 Dart Sedans For Shifter Cable Defect

    From its first reveal to this day I can’t believe the Dart was not a raging success. I also believe a Dart replacement is absolutely needed by Dodge in sedan and coupe variants, as was the popular Neon, to return to the compact segment with exciting performance and styling. No one will ever...

    2026 Alfa Romeo Tonale Ditches PHEV, Gains Sharper Style

    I have seen a few around and they are a very stylish compact SUV. I had reservations on the Hornet because it created a tension, a competition with the Tonale that was predictable and forced Dodge to keep prices too high for their market niche. Being built in Italy also did not sit well with...

    Stellantis’ $100 Million Warren Truck Investment Confirms All-New SUV

    If Ram is a truck brand, this decision frees Dodge to concentrate on performance oriented, light duty SUVs and cars and the rugged credentials at Ram would only enhance the appeal factor for heavy duty SUV customers. I agree with other posters, this is good news that the shackles are off and...

    Stellantis Commits $13 Billion To Boost U.S. Production and Jobs

    Mopar Willy repeats here forth two of his borrowed truths of wisdom. 1- “You have to spend money to make money.” 2- “Leadership matters”. Remember those? To clarify, I view the so called spending as a sound investment. The factory and product investments are all very sound investments, in mostly...

    Jeep® Drops More Details on the Upcoming Grand Wagoneer REEV

    I think it’s important to note that the Wagoneer Jeeps have made a beach head in the large luxury SUV market, especially in ones like New York which is one of the best for Jeep in North America. Importantly, the confusion of this model has been greatly clarified from its original over done...

    OPINION: Dodge Missed the Mark With Its 2026 Durango Lineup

    Really? Is this an issue, really? The Durango is in its final phase and then whatever replaces it will be all new and different in many ways, just like the next generation Grand Cherokee. I’m going on my eighth year with my very dependable and satisfying 2019 Cherokee that, except for me wanting...

    Stellantis Reports Strong Q3 2025 Shipments, Up 13% Year-Over-Year

    There is no reason that intelligent management can not turn things around for Stellantis. You can criticize the decisions made, but if product does not exist or is not what the market even wants, than sales will be depressed. Antonio seems to be addressing those issues and hope again springs...

    Mopar Teases Purple Dodge Charger SIXPACK For SEMA

    Think we are on the same page. Maybe the artistic talent at MI could give us some computer generated renditions of Chargers to gage reactions. Hopefully this Mopar/DC Charger concept will be more than superficial and start the ball rolling on some things folks can add to make a statement. I’d...

    Mopar Teases Purple Dodge Charger SIXPACK For SEMA

    The Charger is elegant and sleek, but too large and heavy to project a muscle impression. Not to say there are those out there who do see an exciting family vehicle, especially in four doors than can be very successful in the large performance car segment, but with some after market changes...

    DOE Weighs Revoking $1.1 Billion In EV Retooling Grants For Stellantis

    Biden did for America what Tavares did for Stellantis, went wolk, demonstrated gross incompetence and eventually got a dose of reality. Of course the forces of American free choice gave us our salvation from both these clowns in the voting booth and in dealer showrooms. As America now drags...

    Stellantis Eyes $10 Billion Investment Push in U.S.

    You have to spend money to make money. I can’t tell you how many lost opportunities there are out there for those holding tight on money that did nothing to build their wealth. Worse, you follow the orders of a guy who is out of touch with the market and holds a deep bias to things American...

    Stellantis Cuts 10,000 Italian Jobs Since 2020

    When you bet on the wrong horse you lose. It will take time to recoup losses. A tell tale sign auto executives ignored was the need for cash incentives to move those electrics, not smart. Pure hybrids will make up the bulk of alternative powered vehicles and most BEVs will go away or be order...

    Stellantis Post It’s Sales Numbers For The U.S. In Q3 2025

    Think you’re right on target. These sales numbers, though disappointing, must be taken in with some of a realty adjustment. No Cherokee, no Chrysler anything, no Challenger, no four door affordable Charger, no Journey, no midsize trucks and the black cloud of the Charger Dayton debacle hanging...
