They are priority #1 right now.
 
i6 in the KM is going to be NASTY

If I can't get a 4xE in the WL75 I am waiting for the Tornado
 
They need to get the hybrids down into the Sport and Laredo level trims. No more excuses!

ahhhhhhhhhhhh eventually but it does add cost that those groups are less likely to have funds for.... are you doing a Failed Major Pete'ism?
 
There is 100% venn diagram overlap between people who can buy a Limited and have enough money for a Laredo + hybrid.

They will make it happen. You can take 90% of what Bob says as fact - he has legit sources. Those sources also sometimes give snapshots of truth to goose existing sales - the WL75 not having enough room for a battery for example. That may be true, to a degree - it may take until the WL75 MCA to get the battery, but it WILL get one. Volvo has a seven passenger PHEV out now, in limited volume. You're meaning to tell me Chrysler isn't going to follow up with a competitive offering until THREE YEARS from now? Come on.

There's never been more people working at CTC these days - put them to work, get all the plants on three shifts.

If the Chinese, er I mean Swedes can do it, so can Chrysler -

That’s going to be the SRT version, right?
If I’m not mistaken, Jeep’s CEO was saying something along the same line when he was asked about the future Trackhawk.

No idea what they’ll end up calling it, but SRT is reserved for Dodge.
 
KM will be built in Windsor along with L car twins.

I wish Belvedere would get HD Trucks, we’ll see.

Saltillo can export a global EV without tariffs so it makes sense to bring HD trucks home.

Brampton will build other EVs.
 
Chrysler will be resurrected but all the product will be made in Mexico or Canada, ironic 😂
 
"Motor Trend asked Christian Meunier and Jim Morrison about the future of the Cherokee, and both of them confirmed that a redesign is currently in the works. “Bigger and better than ever” is Morrison’s take on the newcomer.
Meunier added that “a lot of electrification” is planned for the Cherokee, which is the way to go due to increasingly draconic regulations for emissions and fuel economy. A bigger electrified Cherokee isn’t all there is to the sixth gen because Jeep is likely to expand the Wagoneer brand.
Sources told Mopar Insiders that “another smaller Wagoneer vehicle will be added to the mix sometime in 2024 or 2025. That vehicle will be based on the next-generation Cherokee (KM),” and even though specifics aren’t known at press time, the STLA Large platform is rumored for the KM." - autoevolution

IMO Cherokee should mimic the 4runner line up SR5, TRD Off road, Limited, TRD PRO etc, not everyone wants a wrangler, you can see that by Bronco sales, those things are everywhere around here. (Real ones, not the fwd one) 4runners too!
