Stellantis Looking To Sell Its North American Headquarters In Auburn Hills

According to reports from The Detroit News, Stellantis is exploring the sale of its North American Headquarters and Technical Center located in Auburn Hills, Michigan. This is part of a larger initiative where the company is considering selling or closing 18 facilities, as discussions with the United Auto Workers (UAW) continue. The 504-acre complex, once … (read full article...)

This is awful news. While Chrysler has been through rocky days since the Daimler merger, it’s always been a constant that their HQ has occupied its Pentastar tower complex in Auburn Hills.

Don't be surprised. Stellantis has an unofficial policy to not hire anymore US based engineering employees. They are following the disney model of training engineers in India and South America to take on US worker roles. Apparently it's OK to have profits in America but not OK to support jobs in America.

Total insanity. I don't care if it's only a portion. This is so incredibly dumb.

It took Daimler a little less than ten years to drive Chrysler into the ground. My guess is that Tavares can beat this by at least two or three years.

Stick a fork in this thing, it's over.

I know a lot of FCA employees who say that company has completely changed over the past year.

A very bad idea. The Pentistar building in Aulburn Hills is a fantastic Chrysler icon. It is part of the Chrysler image. Besides being a beautiful building, the Pentistar at the top, to me shows the world how important the Chrysler Corporation is to the Big Three. GM's logo at the top of the Ren C3

 

[MPE426HEMI]

Bye Chrysler, nice knowing you!
Just as bad as Daimler, but dead set on killing all NA affiliation or involvement.
Staleantus won’t be moving much of what they have on the lots right now, unless there are really deep discounts. They’ve priced themselves out of the middle class. Good riddance!

Ren Cen, and the huge Ford Oval at the top of the Glass, Ford Headquarters in Dearborn are a great show of strength for both of the US auto makers, I believe Chrysler deserves to be included in the same show of strength. Sure Chrysler has had some rough times, but they have also had many some great successes over the years too. Chrysler introduced so many new technologies over the years, that so many of them are now industry standards. There is so much competition in the global automotive market, it makes it so difficult to have the market share. Back in the day, when it was just the Big Three competiting for every car sold in the US it was tough enough. After the 1973 oil crisis that all changed, Detroit was building what the buyers wanted, and cars that got good gas mileage wasn't what the buyers cared about, gas was cheap we didn't care, we didn't have to. I say to Stanlantis keep that beautiful Pentistar building and let Chrysler show its strength. I'm a Ford man, but Chrysler is my second favorite. I believe Chrysler needs to continue to be part of Big Three, we need Chrysler to be proud of who they are. Back when cars were cars, Chrysler was building great cars that had great engineering and great styling, it may not have been a lot of people's taste, but I always thought it was great. Keep the Pentistar building just as it is.

Dude, you are a complete confused clown.
1st you straight up nonsense "I’m the only Legal owner of FCA Automobiles LLC".... " doesn't even exist (FCA US LLC).
Second FIAT, SPA was legally restructured into FIAT Chrysler Automobiles becoming a Netherlands company which in 2021 was renamed Stellantis upon succeeding of PSA (which ceased) in a merger agreement. Obviously nobody cares that a FCA Christian charity exist in North America (a charity that does good things) , only somebody out of touch like you is getting confused.

Final, your only creditable point, is Termination. But that was the actions of the "Chrysler Corporation/LLC affiliates" in which what was the Chrysler Corporation that declared Bankruptcy Spring 2009, and sold most operations to a new company controlled by FIAT that was latter named FCA U.S. LLC.

There your claims likely lack Legal Standing, and where wipedout by the sale of Chrysler operations.

Just what I’ve feared. I’m still baffled how a less successful euro company (PSA) can roll in and push the highly profitable and successful big guys around (Chrysler Group), changing their culture, selling or leasing out the HQ etc.

The UAW's greed is motivating Stellantis leaders to forgo investment in North America. Expect far more Chinese parts in Chrysler and Dodge vehicles. Over the next few years Stellantis will gradually close US factories and import cars from Asia. Eventually Chrysler and Dodge will just be badges glued on Asian cars.

Chrysler died when it was acquired by Fiat.

What a clownish take not with an ounce of reality.
Chrysler business is alive & never been as profitable because of FIAT.

What do you call Brampton & Belvidere (all new plant)... INVESTMENT..

What's the alternative? Closing up shop in North America? Retooling the plant is the cost of doing business, it's not some gift. They've driven Chrysler into the ground, Dodge is crashing, and Jeep inventories are at an all time high.

This management is no different than FCA management - but at least with FCA management, a second Detroit plant was built. This management has closed a plant and cut shifts at others. Why? Because the new product launches haven't been a hit.

new Grand Cherokee and Grand Cherokee L? Underwhelming design and overpriced by $15K
Wagoneer? Miss
Hornet? Huge dud
Tonale? Completely irrelevant

If they had compelling product at reasonable prices, the plants would be running on three shifts. Like they were from 2014-2019.

The record profits, largely driven by North America Jeep Wrangler/Gladiator/Grand Cherokee and Ram 1500 / Dodge V8 vehicles, are coming to an end. Europe and South American profits are headed to less than $1B a year in 2024.

European and South profits will be significantly higher this year,not less.
Keep in Mind, Europe is benefiting from the merger integration..the new FIAT products base on PSA CMP gets introduce in 2024 which is where other round of cost savings+ Dealer distribution integration .. however 2025/2026 will be more challenging for Europe as Merger benefits are fully realized (harder comps) .
Building a new IL plant isn't a "cost of business", but something that has to make sense, and yes closing Brampton & no Belvidere replacements was those two was an alternative.
