Yea you lost me at the part that this car is a Chinese communist party GAC designed vehicle and rebadged as a dodge.

If Chrysler would build a car completely in house and on their own platform, the R&D in Auburn Hills and build it in a Chrysler plant located in the US or CAN then I’d be interested.
 
Too many people do not realize that the economic systems of the US and China are vastly different and that gives China a huge advantage in costs attributed to what is effectively government controlled industries and low pay for workers. In essence, the steady infiltration of Chinese automotive products through surrogate countries like Mexico in order to dodge sanctions results in a serious threat. Trumps proposed Reciprocal Tariff plan must be implemented if he is elected in order to level the playing field. It’s not phobic to respond to an unfair trade situation to protect American industry and workers. That stated, I move on to this Dodge.
There remains a viable market for North American built compact and mid-size cars with comparable pricing. Manufacturing of these affordable vehicles globally can be profitable and wise. I believe Dodge needs a line of smaller cars, and Chrysler at least a large sedan to return the 300 to its traditional market. To cede the sedan, coupe and luxury car market to foreign manufacturers is unacceptable. If it takes tariffs and sanctions to accomplish this, than so be it. Hopefully with strong pro American leadership, the industry will reclaim its position domestically in these segments. Export numbers going forward must match import numbers. The lingering question remains in conversation with some of our European allies “ how many Dodges do your citizens drive?” That tells the whole story and highlights why this Dodge in Mexico is a real threat to our nation’s auto industry.
Oh would it not be nice to drive the exclusive Imperial once again and wow your friends with that symbol of American engineering and quality.
 
We have muscle cars built in Canada and motors built in Mexico - I wouldn't mind a product made in China if it was this nice. I think this would have sold much better than the Hornet.
 
Stellantis, hello, good morning. Take this car right here, put it on the STLA medium platform, add to this thing, the 2.0L Hurricane I-4 turbocharged engine with that E-DCT transmission you guys have overseas, sell it in the US market as the Avenger and make money

Sadly, both the Buick Envision and Lincoln Aviator are built in China and have better build quality then most vehicles built here.
 
That interior doesn't look bad at all, other than the goofy steering wheel and shifter.
 
Who cares it’s made in China. 50% of the stuff we buy in our homes and what we are wearing is made in China. I want a nice Mopar that doesn’t break down and I can afford. I also want looks. This and the New Journey (for Mexico) look absolutely stunning!!!

The small sedan market is drying up here, and zero emissions mandates play a part in this. The sedans which are selling are hybrids and consumers are willing to pay more for one. That is why Civic and Corolla hybrids are now hot commodities in today's market.

In the UK they now face the prospect of the rationing of ICE powered vehicles, due to their government zero emissions mandates. The English regulations and mandates are not that different from those of the CARB requirements for the states which adopted them.

If a company is going to be restricted from selling too many ICE vehicles, it probably won't be the high end products they cut from the lineup.
