Dodge Is Working On A New Performance UV To Replace Journey:

With the Journey and Grand Caravan running on borrowed time, the future of the Dodge brand has been questioned by many fans since only three models will remain (Charger, Challenger, and Durango). While performance models are said to be in the works like a Durango SRT Hellcat model and a...

No to being built alongside WL. It could be built at Brampton or one other North American plant, not connected in Detroit. That's all I am going to say.
 
I really hope they don't go a charger like design wise. The more "bandit" style grills i see the less i like them, and then the scallops on the side are starting to feel old to me. I understand why people like them, just not my flavor anymore
 
depends is it the G or GG?

Giorgio Global is nothing else than a Giorgio ready for BEV.

Even Giulia and Stelvio with MCA will switch to it. That's around 2 years for them. Different "innovative" rear suspension execution for batteries. Even PHEV versions will use it.

Of course with it comes new electric arhitecture.

But I do believe that it will be slightly bigger than Stelvio. Around 8" if I need to take a guess.
Of course I may be wrong.

In any case this will be a welcome addition to Dodge line up.

Then it is not Giorgio... if the build points move then is not that platform anymore. It is a different Platform with it origin based in Giorgio.... dismissive terms like "JUST" are not accurate. There will be extensive optimization of the body structure per model and for the build points. Top hatting is mostly dead at FCA

So the question remains is it JUST Giorgio(top hatted Dodge) or is it something new that can run in a NA facility on current carriers?

What they must keep? Suspension attachment points and what else? AFAIK they will keep it.

The time will come to completely overhaul some factories or to move products around. Nothing is eternal.
 
So, a coupe SUV. Late 2022 is a long time away though.
Fortunately, it seems that development has begun again, now that the PSA-FCA merger is moving forward.

A full BEV to compete with the Mach-e would be cool as well.
 
Just don't call it Charger UV or something like what Ford did with the Mustang. I know they wont but I would not mind seeing some design cues from the Charger, scalloped doors , kick up body line in the rear doors etc. People need to know its a Dodge when they see it. Its about time wee see these rumors. Hopefully we see something from Chrysler soon.

Now for names.... Avenger would fit, bring back the name Stealth?
 
I don't know on which platform is a fake Mustang on but upcoming updates for Giorgio will allow to build ICE, MHEV, PHEV and BEV cars on a single platform. No need for a dedicated platform although it's better to have a dedicated platform for BEV but then you are stuck with BEV only car.

According to Mike V. it has a very different yet interesting name, or at least codename

If it's the same one that's been rumored for a while now, I like that one. I also still like Nitro and Magnum.
