Stellantis (FCA US, LLC) has released its Q4 2022 sales numbers and its total 2022 sales figures for the United States. For the Q4 period, the automaker sold 347,669 vehicles which was a decrease of 16% over the same period last year. Overall year-to-year numbers were also down a dismal 13% compared to 2021. There is no doubt that growing inflation and high-interest rates played a major role in the company’s results.

Every single brand was down. I hope this sends a message to STLA executives that prices are way too high.
 
ASPs will start to go down, watch.
 
If this leadership group can't keep three shifts running @ 10% EBIT, I'm not interested in their product. I'm not here to make STLA rich, and neither is the US consumer. There's a middle ground here. STLA is way past that line. I'm not interested in passion brand / oligopoly capitalism.

I'll sooner buy Toyota than continue to enrich STLA. 6th generation 4Runner drops next year.

Correction :17% EBIT
“Passion brands”(as you put it) / “swimming lanes” has been the direction legacy Mopar brands since the 363 bankruptcy +Sergio & John Elkann control (North American pricing & margin Strategy didn’t come until 2015 which was 1st full year of the “Official Merger of FIAT & Post-Bankruptcy Chrysler) .

Part of that direction with Mopar Brands is YOU Don’t appeal to “THE US consumer”, you appeal to “Slices of the U.S. Consumer”.

Back to pricing the company will cut production (and therefore shifts) should demand fall instead of a real rollback in pricing.
It also makes even more Stellantis push back heavily Really any UAW demands beyond just defending the concessions from the bankruptcy (Benefits and Wages).
 
They are killing dealers buy cutting volume and demanding margin. When they start plopping chips into the stored volume of vehicles even if FCA has a fraction of those that GM/Toyota/Honda/Ford have, margins will erode even for FCA.

The company long abandoned the bankruptcy cycle of sell on low margin on volume, unfortunately to many people measure success on volume and whether they can fleece their local CDJR for a bargain for themself.

Sales are mealiness without margin ..... the chip excuse though is about to end, better re-engage customers with product.
 
I agree the prices are way too high. I purchased a loaded 2021 Durango Tow and Go for 64K I decide to go back to the ram truck. I took the Durango with19k miles one year old to the original dealer and was offered $40k for trade.
So the Durango lost 20.4k in one year. I told the dealership forget it I will keep the Durango.

If they don’t move towards ~12% EBIT, I will never buy another vehicle from this company. I know I’m not alone.

And they certainly won’t need about 15-20% of the current headcount in Italy, France, and Auburn Hills.

Try other service like Carvana and Varoom
 
Quick question, is there anyway to see how profitable the MOPAR parts division is?
