    REPORT: Dodge Charger Daytona SRT Banshee Is DEAD!

    I’m betting we are very likely looking at JD Vance to add eight years to that policy.

    Dodge Rebrands Attitude in Mexico as Attitude R/T

    Though I’m opposed to anything Chinese for our market, this Mexican Attitude R/T is a good test case for the market viability of a hot compact Dodge in the North American market. We are talking the concept, not this specific vehicle. Stellantis has a golden opportunity to turn Belvedere into...

    REPORT: Dodge Charger Daytona SRT Banshee Is DEAD!

    Charger Daytona Banshee is dead, long live the Charger SRT Hemi Banshee ! Not a reach on that thought.

    Stellantis CFO Shake-Up: Ostermann Out, Laranjo In

    Executive leadership is a tough setting in spite of the perks. Your leadership style, methodology let’s call it, is important if you want to be successful. Mine was acquired over time and my trusted go to method was not to have all “yes people” in my inner circle, but enough to control most...

    UAW Local Questions If Ram Midsize Pickup Will Come To Belvidere

    Oh I forgot, the rumored Jeep Comanche pickup will also be built here, if more than a rumor. Belvedere could become “ Belvedere City” with expansion and up to six vehicles built there. UAW will love it too.

    UAW Local Questions If Ram Midsize Pickup Will Come To Belvidere

    My thinking for Belvedere. Ram Dakota midsize to Toledo. Spinoff of Jeep Gladiator platform. Next generation Jeep Compass and next generation Dodge Hornet and the Ram Renegade Compact PU to Belvedere. Importantly, all U.S. built products. Compass replacement now in hibernation moves from...

    Jeep® Grand Cherokee 4xe Stop-Sale Issued Over Safety Recall

    Sorry to hear about your Cherokee. I know others with fours that had issues but my two six powered Cherokees have been absolutely flawless. Not a single issue over eleven years of satisfying driving. I bought off lease my current Cherokee because we loved everything about the vehicle, it remains...

    Jeep® Grand Cherokee 4xe Stop-Sale Issued Over Safety Recall

    You have a point and you guys have found an Achilles heel in my statement. I’m frustrated since my Cherokee is pushing eight years, eleven if you count my first Cherokee and I want a change. I just want to stay with Jeep and the prospects of that are diminishing with every recall. Yes that...

    Jeep® Grand Cherokee 4xe Stop-Sale Issued Over Safety Recall

    Why, why, why, why would anyone buy any vehicle that is critical to everyday needs that is predominately electric ? My ten foot pole statement on the Charger Daytona still has gravitas in fact which all electrics fundamentally carry. It’s evidential science dudes. It’s just so common sense, one...

    Our 2025 Dodge Charger Daytona Scat Pack BRICKED!

    I would not touch one of these with a ten foot pole. Dodge should cancel this thing as soon as possible as Jeep did the Gladiator 4xE and call it what it is, a product that falls below standards of reliability and safety. The Charger Daytona must rank as the biggest failure in Dodge history...

    More Details Emerge On The South American Ram Dakota

    If Ram and Jeep absolutely and Dodge tangentially are to be global brands there must be some basic differences in product. We see the error of too much uniformity in the North American market in lock step with European thinking and planning. Our brands are now desperately seeking to right that...

    Ram Mexico Unveils Limited Edition 2025 Ram 1200 Rebel

    Just irks me that these viable trucks are out there and Ram here in our market can’t get a proper truck out there until maybe two years more. Really ?

    SPOTTED: 2026 Dodge Charger Scat Pack SIXPACK Four-Door

    Lots of thoughtful suggestions, ideas to consider as many of us fans look to cover every imaginable market segment and resurrect old product. The but here is the financial status of the company and the lack of domestic manufacturing facilities. I don’t want to submit my whole wish list, but...

    SPOTTED: 2026 Dodge Charger Scat Pack SIXPACK Four-Door

    This is a conversation that will have many valid and sincere points of view. I am uplifted you gave me support here. I believe, however, that the STLA Large platform is the only realistic path forward, as are the Hurricane engines, it’s a clear business decision and frankly, a very appealing...

    SPOTTED: 2026 Dodge Charger Scat Pack SIXPACK Four-Door

    It’s a tragedy how the Charger was launched and the apprehension attached to its build quality and reliability due to premature electrification. This was so botched it leads to thoughts that it was deliberate and malicious. It certainly created a dark hole that Dodge must dig itself out of to...

    Like to see a Pro Stock Dodge out of this merger. I could drive it for them. Yea Right!

    SPOTTED: Jeep® Compass BEV First Edition on Italian Streets

    Not suggesting hybrids or electrics should be curtailed, as you said hybrids are popular, but no where near the popularity of traditional gas powered vehicles, especially trucks. All I’m advocating is that, for my generation especially, buyers want a gasoline engine option. We are a market...

    SPOTTED: Jeep® Compass BEV First Edition on Italian Streets

    Jeep is in a conundrum now with their much needed and painfully delayed new products and it hurts its chances of recovering and expanding their market share. I call it the “Carlos Effect” the misguided electrification plan that is a dark cloud hanging precipitously over Compass, Cherokee...

    Rare 1969 Plymouth Barracuda 440 ’Cuda Coupe Surfaces on BaT

    My race car was a 1969 Barracuda notch back that I bought from a guy who used it as a grocery getter. Cheap enough to gut and race, but I really wanted a fastback. As fate would have it, a little muscle/ race modifications turned that Plymouth into a mean looking car that I fell in love with...
