For the record, Hertz still rents EVs and features them online and in their ads. Their banner in the airport rental car facility proudly displays this. According to Hertz management, at that time, the reason they were cancelling the Tesla deal was the price cuts by Tesla combined with the high...

So you don't live in an affluent area, yet you see a constant stream of new high end pickup trucks. If you had critical thinking skills you would see the contradiction in what you post. "I see hundred thousand dollar fancy trucks on the daily" <--- You said that and I referred to it. Your...

You are also a blasphemer. Ram truck sales have slowed dramatically and have stacked up on dealer lots. Employees building Ram pickups have been laid off. Our nation's economy is in trouble and is floundering. Money is now tight and certain sectors of the automobile market are taking a hit...

To all those who think that investing in the Jeep Wagoneer was wasted resources: I am very familiar with the Wagoneer lineup because we have them available in our rental fleet. I have spent enough wheel time in the top trim Grand Wagoneer to recognize the engine and interior bits which are now...

I blame the government run schools for a lack of reading comprehension on these forums. Barber shops haven't gone away, but they don't do many mullets anymore. I see a lot of pickup trucks on a daily basis. I'm not counting all of the new ones at work, I expect to see those at the garage. I've...

All the automakers are abandoning the lower price range. Nissan still offers their Versa, but not for much longer, and the Koreans no longer offer their basic subcompacts here. The Chevy Trax now anchors the bottom with a base price just north of 20 Grand. The Buick Envista is a Trax with more...

Ram could still reach a lower price point. Take the HFE trim, add 4WD, but keep the quad-cab, short box and V6. The tires would have to be changed as well. Offer this model with a similar two tone to the 1981 Macho Ram package with a few standout colors in addition to the black or white choice...

Large pickup trucks at luxury car prices are a fad. Exercise isn't a fad, but hula hoops were. Clothes are a necessity, but what happened to Nehru collars? People get haircuts, but what happened to mullets? Fashions come and go. Money is tight and people are cutting back. Consumers who bought...

My prediction is battery electric will recede into to assorted market niches, such as city cars and delivery vans. It still has to be sorted out if Tesla's fall is related to the luxury car sales woes, which are rapidly falling. The Achilles heel for EVs has been the charging network, or should...

None, the Hornet is not available in Mexico.

I work for a very large fleet and keep up on the trends. Now since this thread is about the Ram REV, I'm discussing trucks close to that GVW range. The higher the GVW, the less a pure battery electric power train makes sense. The same goes for route distance. Now for a fixed route delivery area...

It's a truck. Sometimes trucks have commercial uses and are purchases by a small business. Some larger fleet Vehicle fleets will have a professional buyer on their staff whose job is to have complete knowledge of the company's needs and what the best solutions are to meet those needs.The last I...

The Ram ProMaster EV has a range of just 162 miles. That distance is fine for the market niche of urban delivery vans. It is probably adequate for suburban routes as well. The 500 mile range figure for the REV is most likely aimed at the consumer market. Commercial and fleet buyers tend to...

I don't think the timeline will allow an ICE option at launch. The stuff hit the fan in the EV cafe just recently. We're coming up on the Wagoneer S launch date really fast.The S doesn't look like a mainstream market product. It seems more like an exclusive niche vehicle like the Grand Cherokee...

The marketing for the Hornet is terrible. I agree. Tesla did Toyota a huge favor by luring all the early adapters and virtue signaling away from the Prius. Toyota had to move the Prius back from the green fringe and closer to the center of the mainstream market, because of that. The new Prius is...

First of all, I notice the new BMW 2-series is no longer on the list. That model which the Tonale and the Hornet compete against had a lower transaction price than the Dodge Hornet when they were on the list together. Second, the Dodge Hornet is not a full battery electric. It is a plugin...

Are we talking about the 7-speed used in the SUSW vehicles or the 6-speed used in the CMP platform vehicles? The article isn't specific on what the eDCT to be built at Mirafiori is far as its origins and specifications.

Which transmission, or should I say, whose transmission will it be? I hope this isn't that "built down to a price" French-Chinese 6-speed. Daimler sold one of the old Chrysler's crown jewels, New Process Gear, to Magna. Magna now has some advanced designs, including a 7-speed, 48V hybrid front...

The red headed step child doesn't get named junior that often.

Since Stellantis has the historic Chrysler Corporation brands in its orbit I suggest the car use a name from Plymouth's past, Scamp.
