    More red at Benz than at FCA. 

    They were up 0.4%.  At least they aren't down 34% like Alfa Romeo, or down 26% like Chrysler or down 7% like Jeep in an SUV market and Jeep is down 7% for the year as the SUV market is just getting flooded with entries.

    FCA was up for the month while Benz was down. FCA is also only down 3% for the year while Mercedes is down 8%. Not sure how you paint that as a rosy picture. 

     

    I do agree about Alfa though. It is just a joke in automotive clown shoes at this point and perfectly illustrates the money spent on it by FCA was money wasted.

    Neither FIAT nor Alfa Romeo should be sold here.  They belong in Europe since neither can compete here.  Maybe if that Renault merger with FCA goes through, someone will have the wisdom to discontinue FIAT and Alfa Romeo in North America.

    I agree 100%. Both were garbage forty years ago and they clearly have not improved upon that reputation.

    Funny anecdote, for some reason I've seen a 1/2 dozen Alfa Romeos (4 Giulias and 2 Stelvios) in the last week.  The Giulia Quadrafiglio does look great in dark blue.

    Single market brands have a hard time.  That is a problem FCA has.  Alfa and Fiat are stronger in the USA than Chrysler and Dodge are outside of North America.  When you have regional brands, it is hard to stay competitive.  Same problem with Renault, another regional company, if they merge all this together, they need to get a "One Ford" type plan where they have 1 car sold all over the world, maybe under different brand names.

    • Continued death spiral of America due to incompetence in DC by Idiot47 and his lemmings. Carney rolls his eyes at US Treasury secretary, telling Trump he meant what he said at Davos
    • Every American needs to get ready as this is our future under Idiot47 and his love of Tariffs. Vintage photos show American life under Trump's tariff hero, William McKinley   Idiot47 is going to bankrupt this country the way he has already done it 7 times since he is so stupid. Trump vows 'big retaliation' as 'sell America' list grows This is sad as GM will not recover like they think they will nor will Ford. American Auto Industry is set to expire.

    • This was more of the response I was looking for. Yes. And thank-you.  If I came out as defensive and aggressive, it was because I was, but not targeted at you...personally at you.  At you because of what country you live in but not at you personally as I have come to know you quite well as much as we could behind a computer screen.  And yes, I never ever questioned you. I know you are a well educated individual.  I could tell from the literal thousands of posts we have made to each other over the years.   I like you. I respect you.  Im sorry that I made you feel the need to justify yourself.  But I, and I COULD speak for plenty of Canadians on my behalf, that we, not just I, are pretty phoquing mad at some of your countrymen and for your leaders for what is going on.     The way I figure it, and this is where I speak only for myself, is IF americans want to phoque up their lives, the lives of their fellow countrymen, their country and everything the usa stood for, then phoque that up all by yourselves, there is NO PHOQUING NEED to drag me and ALL CANADIANS into your garbage.  More than that, LEAVE OTHER nations alone as well.   The way I figure it, take care of your (not personal, but a universal meaning for all americans) shyte because I, Canadians, do NOT feel the need to have to take care of YOUR shyte for YOU (not personal, but a universal meaning for all americans).  We Canadians do not necessarily want to go to war for YOU JUST to defend freedoms and liberties.  WE WILL go to war to defend CANADIAN freedoms and liberties and especially our sovereignty, make no mistake about that, but why drag Canadians into YOUR problems?   Nobody thought that. But there were plenty of small hints though, in 2016.  An huge bombshell of a hint on January 6, 2020.  All of 2025 though, was just a matter of time before those hints actually came to fruition and became reality.  2026 is the year where probably  all actions of authoritarianism will be put into motion. The year did start  (January 3rd to be exact) with a literal bang... americans, the ones that are actually aware of what is going on and are against all of it are too passive.   I understand the fact that these people want to settle this without violence.  Some of these people think that elections will settle this. There is NO RULE OF LAW that is followed in an authoritarian take-over where democracy is being phased out.  There is NO RULE OF LAW in the usa as we speak. The courts and/or elcetions have done shyte so far and the courts and /or elections will do shyte going forward.   Violence is the ONLY way for freedoms and liberties to be restored at this juncture.  Some americans absolutely want NO violence and war to happen... but  violence and war  is DESTINED to come to them whether they want it to happen or not.  If there are no violent riots to lead to a civil war to break free form this shyte, violence will happen regardless because OPPRESSORS want to OPPRESS and will OPPRESS anybody OPPRESSORS want to OPPRESS.  That could mean ANY person living in the usa.  Being white is not a free pass.  Because white will have other less favourable attributes to these oppressors.  Whether americans will resist or not, oppressors will enact violence upon thee. Also, with talks about invasions, or even former america's allies that the usa decided to shyte on the past 13 months, tensions have arose, and the usa is the aggressor, anyway, aggressors, in THIS case IS the united states of america, will be forced to attack other countries and this means the usa will need soldiers.  In other words, even if some americans do NOT want war, YOUR leader WANTS war and so WAR will be handed to you whether you like it or not...
