Everytime I hear one of these foreign executives speak they seem to raise the middle finger at the American market and producers.
 
I saw that story last night. My how the mighty have fallen. They point out at the end that the "Big Three" has not included Chrysler since the sale to Stellantis since it is a foreign company.
 
I think history is repeating itself. In the late 1980s the French acquired AMC. They discovered no easy money in that deal, Chrysler took AMC and Jeep is all that remained.

Present day the French acquired FCA, discovered no easy money in the deal, and some Asian manufacturer will take what remains of Chrysler, and Jeep and RAM will be all that survived.

To understand the future study the past.

As well as Jeep, there's still the Brampton assembly plant remaining from the vestiges of AMC.
 
EV 1st **** mentality, French/Dutch owned mentality
driving away customers, they don't even know their customer base at all
that is killing & will ultimately be the downfall of Detroit auto manufacturers
destruction, uber-mismanagement (UAW greed) or fed.s mandates/compliance,
aided & the final straw/death nil altogether...

if leadership isn't changed, on all aspects, buss. & govt.
they're doomed, not just Chrysler either, American Made Autos in general
 
Ohio Jeep (Engine ?) assembly plant
& Jeep line already had mass layoff too...

It also took me from Sept. of 2022 to Nov. of 2023 to get my warrantied
'new' complete engine injectors to pan $6,500,
'new' Gas 3.6 Pentastar v6 Gladiator Engine, from Jeep's Ohio plant
(my dad put 3/4s a tank of diesel in & drove it, hydro-locked it, it only had 12k miles on it)

$17,000 later after labor, dealership finished,
that the insurance paid for it
or I was gonna' make dad pay it...

the company is a complete clusterf--k
a shadow of it's old self, even then it was sketchy,
but not like since Stellantis took over

Only partially because of the strike too (our govt. leader supported)
after the UAW mandate & 40% raises & twice the vacation days off
& twice the sick pay/leave time
Many of them very people that were striking are gone today...

people wonder why they cost so damn much ?

Isn't it 110% apparent why ?
it certainly is to me

this isn't Europe people, keep that socialist utopian bullshit over there,
keep it as far way from here as possible...

Definition of insanity;
keep doing the same **** over & over & expecting a different result !!!
every time, it don't work that way dummies

He's gone now & a real car guy is in charge
'a Hemi guy' in charge

things are sort of looking up

still a lot of crap to deal with, 'Eurocrap'
but looks like it will go back to what it was a couple years ago
baby steps, better than it was, under the last dude'/CEO
with a new 2 dr Charger I.C.E. combo Huricaine, they call Six Pack
maybe even a Hemi too, been mentions of a Hellcat also

supposedly going to continue the 392ci Hemi/Rubicon in the Jeeps,
Durango (?) they will have a Hellcat version still
& maybe even the trucks
I heard they said;
they will revive the Ram 1500 TRX version combo too
(Hellcat, not the RHO Hurricane) at a price of course

I wonder if they will do the 'cuda they've been talking about forever
or the Roadrunner, on the same platform
they could use the old Challenger platform & build it in Detroit area
not Mexico or Canada, now
 
Germans, Italians, then the French with Hispanic Surnames. Or whatever.
