Stellantis could have sales drop 60% and they won't axe a single brand. Somehow these companies will get loans, investors or government bail out to stay alive. I don't t think Stellantis or Ford would go bankrupt, unless it is like what GM did in 2009, and it would allow them to cut the company in half. Ford would basically build only pick up trucks and commercial vans. Stellanis would be Jeep, Ram and Peugeot with rebadged versions as Opel and Vauxhaull depending on country. GM will be smaller too, they'll get driven out of China and South America mostly. The Chinese onslaught is coming and these guys (and Trump's government) are not ready. BYD just showed the Yangwang U9 Track Edition, it has 2,976 horsepower and costs the same as a Corvette ZR1. Dodge can bring back the Hellcat all they want, it is 2,000 hp less than a Chinese car. And China already makes an EV midsize pickup the size of a Ridgeline and it is $25,000. Legacy auto better innovate fast. -

As it shouldn't. 2 terms. No more. Yup. Your constitution and your legislative, executive and judicial branches as defined by your constitution are all rock solid. He hasnt, nor does he now and he wont in the future try to over power it in any way shape or form. Yup. 2 terms. Without any incident or issue. Wont cry any fowl. Wont cling unto power. Will not abuse his powers. Will not do anything but concede. If you say so and hopefully the people defending the constitution in all facets of everybody will also uphold the constitution... -

$68,300 for the start for the Stingray. My inclination would be to get a 2-3 yr old one as a CPO.. with the optional Z51 suspension, a base Stingray convertible would be fine for me as I approach 60. But I wouldn't be getting jorts or other 'Corvette guy' accoutrements. -
Stellantis is in trouble for sure since they have a lot of imports and their product line already isn't great. And they can bring back the Hemi, but it makes 360 hp in 5.7 liter trim, there are 4 cylinders nearing that now. And the 6.4 Hemi is 470 hp, it is less than the Hurricane high output and is thirstier. The Durango is older than dirt, that just has dwindling sales. V8 in the Charger won't really sell any better than the 6 and the new Charger is $52k base with destination charge, with options probably $55-60k, I don't see that selling well. Hornet is gone for 2026, Pacifica is old, Alfa and Maserati are dated and undesirable and will be hit with tariffs to make it even worse. Ford will survive on F150, Transit and commercial business. They make money there. Lincoln is losing Corsair, the Nautilus is from China so tariffs with shut that down. Bronco Sport and Maverick from Mexico, tariffs are making those not so cheap anymore. I think a sales decline is looming for Ford. The universal platform maybe saves the Mustang, because the Mustang sales are in the toilet, I don't see how they keep justifying a vehicle with low volume that doesn't have a platform share.

Quite possible... As that is my point... And my skepticism... So I guess Kentucky bourbon industry isnt suffering then. Misinformation all around. My bad. Tariffs arent hampering your economy either.
