    2026 Jeep® Grand Cherokee Teased Ahead of Final Testing Phase

    Modest changes that enhance an already good Jeep. Waiting for new Cherokee or this new Grand Cherokee. I’m going to give both a drive, then decide. Big for me is the Pentastar V-6 which I’ve had four and love it. Will it return to either? Big one for me. I might go for a left over 2025 to get...

    Stellantis Scales Back Production at Windsor Assembly

    Totally agree with Triple as to making the big inevitable move, not sure on the site as I believe there will be a need, short term, for a bunch of new product that will need an assembly line that is flexible for three or four different brand offerings. I’m thinking Cherokee, Compass, Dodge...

    Did the All-New Jeep® Compass Just Leak Online?

    Very well done inside and out. Please give us a gas powered version for North America. Build it here (Belvedere?)with a Dodge Hornet replacement spin off and we should be good to go with two volume compact SUVs for North America. Big step up on content and market range offerings. Good job Jeep...

    2026 Dodge Charger SIXPACK ICE Models Get Bold New Trim Names

    I’m OK with a GT entry model, but that “Outlaw” moniker is not working for me. It will probably get push back from some purists as inappropriate and odd, like me, and there are names in the Dodge nomenclature that can work better. Let’s reevaluate this one Dodge. Trust me on this. To the...

    Dodge Reportedly Planning New Crossover Between Hornet and Durango

    My Dodge lineup: STLA Medium- Midsize performance coupe/sedan and a Hornet SUV replacement- 3 vehicles. STLA Luxury Large- Charger coupe/sedan, Challenger/Cuda coupe, Stealth SUV and a Durango SUV replacement- 5 vehicles. MASERATI Shared Platform- Next generation Viper Mid Engine built off...

    SPOTTED: 2026 Dodge Charger SIXPACK H/O Two-Door

    IMO the Charger Six Pack should come bare bones and then have buyers select items or a package from ANY of the Charger models. Bigger Scat Pack brakes, wheels, interior upgrades, exterior enhancements. Looking with my eyes I see a last generation Demon hood scoop opening fitting neatly into this...

    SPOTTED: 2026 Dodge Charger SIXPACK H/O Two-Door

    Has anyone noticed or did I miss it, there is no Scat Pack emblem on the front fender. That’s step one in becoming, as one blogger noted, “bad ass”. Might I suggest the computer talented, create some of your add on computerized designs and share with us. The Charger is our personal blank sheet...

    SPOTTED: 2026 Dodge Charger SIXPACK H/O Two-Door

    Now this is more like it. I’m more interested in the Six Pack AWD than a RWD Hemi, which powers my current Challenger that is amazing, but this setup addresses the biggest issue with my Dodge, uncontrollable tire spin, even from my very satisfying 5.7 automatic. I avoid wet weather driving and...

    Dodge Charger Daytona Scat Pack Joins One Lap of America

    I have made some harsh statements about the Dodge Daytona, but every time I look at this car, those statements seem to exceed my limits of objectivity. Currently I have begun to see some real potential for the Charger in some niche of the market and accessories and graphics might hold the key to...

    2026 Jeep® Commander Will Get Bold Refresh

    Im waiting on the new Cherokee that seems destined for hybrid power. I much prefer a gas only power train, but the approach taken with the Brazilian Commander has caught my attention. It’s now a “weak maybe” if it is something like this driven by the transmission hybrid, like that idea. Some...

    Ram Secures U.S. Patent for Rampage Compact Pickup

    Just in case you need any more support for you clear, common sense, business case logical and necessary quick implementation on this, I add a RESOUNDING “ YES !!! “ I know two regular guys who could help these guys, and I sure Tim is on board too, to get this ball rolling. YES !

    Ram Secures U.S. Patent for Rampage Compact Pickup

    Time to act on this Rampage. This idea has been bounced around, analyzed and advocated for at least a year and still no decision. If we start today we are looking at a year or more to get it to market. So much time wasted on something that looks prime time right now. A tweak here, a tuck there...

    Next-Gen Alfa Romeo Stelvio Design Leaks Through Patent Images

    I’m a fan of most anything Italian, my son owns a Stelvio, so I’m interested big time. I am Mopar to the bone, so I guess this brand, forced by corporate acquaintance, is semi-Mopar, and I’m half Italian, sooooo, it’s all in the family. Pizza anyone ?

    Dodge Charger Daytona Lands Spot on Wards 10 Best Interiors & UX List

    Thanks for agreeing, but I rarely take or advocate much I write as deeply held dogma or absolute opinion , properly viewed it is often for amusement or entertainment as I deliberately mix in some silly opinions. That said, I do like that Charger. Seriously. Initially I thought the V-8 was not...

    Stellantis Says Its Still On Track To Reopen Belvidere Assembly

    The “Golden Age of America” is dawning and the U.S. auto businesses will be a big part of that renaissance. The Belvedere community must give this revolution of prosperity time to develop, but make no mistake, these temporary bargaining tool tariffs will fuel additional non taxation government...

    Mopar Opens New High-Tech Parts Hub in East Fishkill, NY

    Good news for upstate New York which has been devastated by economic decline and huge population loss to “greener pastures”. New York, few people know, has such natural beauty, lakes and mountains that rival much more recognized regions and is dotted by quant and once viable towns and cities...

    Dodge Charger Daytona Lands Spot on Wards 10 Best Interiors & UX List

    Dodge, under difficult and frankly philosophically hostile conditions created a terrific performance vehicle. Note, I did not use the term muscle car because under these intimidating circumstances and engineering necessities, that would have been unacceptable to Lord Tavares and not physically...

    Stellantis & Factorial Energy Hit Solid-State Battery Breakthrough

    Just because I may not want the inconvenience and added anxiety of an all electric car does not mean there is not a viable place for them in the marketplace and any improvement to these electrics is a good thing. I’m even rethinking my absolute rejection to hybrids as long as they are not plug...

    SPOTTED: 2026 Jeep® Grand Cherokee With Bold New Look

    No way I and few others would consider a Grand Cherokee with a turbo four. Has Jeep not learned from the electrification fiasco now rampant across the industry? Has the abject failure of the Wagoneer S not taught them anything? Will the new Cherokee really come only with a hybrid? I’m out on...

    Ram Rumored To Team With GMS Racing For 2026 NASCAR Comeback

    Ram and Dodge both need something to boost its sagging reputation and sales. All in on their return as I have not followed NASCAR since Dodge left the series. I also believe development of a new Dodge, Hemi Cuda as rumors hint, for NHRA Factory Stock would be a necessary requirement for Dodge...
