    Alfa Romeo just does not make sense, how does spending billions that were STOLEN from Jeep, RAM, Dodge, Chrysler well spent when they only sold 376 for the year and a total of 37 for the month of August?

    Stolen ? Nah... No more then Saturn stole money from Chevrolet, even looking at how they got Chrysler-Jeep. It's their money. But highly dubious business decisions in all cases.FCA is full of hot air and going nowhere. Spectacular Hellcats, prestigious brands, great numbers (hum...) but beside a few Fiat models in Europe and Jeep in NA, any attractive and efficient "bread and butter" and "day to day commuting" models? I mean Honda isn't all NSX nor Civic Si, Chevrolet all Corvette, Ford all GT or Toyota all Lexus LC... They also have something to offer once they get you to a dealer. An old 300 ? A Dart or 200 ? Oups ! Even the boss said they weren't that great...

    • One of my best friends bought a 2024 Silverado Trail Boss with the 6.2 and he's not too stoked about it. He hasn't' had any issues thus far, but he's very skeptical about long-term ownership. He said there's a rumor that they'll extend the warranty to 10yr/100,000 and he'd be satisfied with that, but if they don't he certainly wouldn't want to own it past his OEM warranty. I don't blame him, either. It sucks because he said he planned to keep the truck for 10 years as it's kind of a do-all for his family and him. He doesn't want to have to trade it in after 5 years because he has a good chance of needing to replace the engine. GM needs to do right by all these owners.  https://www.caranddriver.com/news/a64611938/chevy-silverado-tahoe-cadillac-escalade-defective-v8-recall/ "General Motors is recalling 721K full-size trucks and SUVs with the 6.2-liter V-8, as the engine might be defective; a stop-sale has also been ordered. The recall list includes popular models such as the Cadillac Escalade, Chevy Silverado 1500, and GMC Yukon—all of which are 2021–2024 models. The problem stems from internal manufacturing defects, and vehicles must pass inspection or possibly require an engine replacement. "
    • I hate to say this, but so many people from India who run hotels are very cheap and combative.  I was in a place belonging to a chain I've NEVER had problems with and like where I'm staying now for a week.  This guy was just rude.  We had an argument about something critical he misrepresented via phone some 2 days before I checked in.  I also asked him for a bottle of water on the 3rd day of departure, which they give routinely at all their other properties, especially for people who are members of their loyalty club.  It was boiling hot outside.  He said he didn't have any.  On the other hand, in the preceding 2 evenings, the friendly Americanized Hispanic guy gave me a cold bottle of water. I told him that most people here are not prejudiced to foreigners and my parents were from another country. However, they should expect to be called out when they run a business here and their style is not compatible with how business is done and customers are used to being treated here.  As for the bottle of water, which might have had a cost of 15 cents, I told him to hang on to those 15 cents and that he was so cheap that "he'd squeeze a nickel until the buffalo shits."  This was on my last day. I'm sorry.  This isn't about political correctness.  It's all about an ugly reality that plays over and over again like a broken record.    You can also have some horrible one-off experiences in Italy, typically about utilities and climatization, because they, too, can be cheap.
    • Nope have not missed those, the V8 mess at GM is another reason I choose to not go back to the General, too much poor-quality control and sloppy sales at the dealership has made me choose the direction I have gone with the EV9. Sadly while the news of people unhappy with the GM V8s has made the rounds, GM seems to be avoiding a true recall. Not sure how this will affect them in the long haul as I have to think customers will remember and avoid the Hybrid / EVs of GM due to the problems with their V8s. Please post the press release on the recall from GM as I have not seen any, nor any media saying GM is doing a recall, just stories about unhappy folks and their V8s. Thank you, Happy 4th to you and your family, may the kids enjoy it.
    • Correct, those were EV9 recalls, but lest you think I would just give Kia a blanket pass, their ICE have had large issues with the engines and I would not tend to recommend them for the most part. That was the point I was making on an expanded response. Just as Toyota is replacing lots of engines, Nissan announced today they have a huge engine replacement now due to poor manufacturing as I posted in the random channel.
    • They're joining Toyota and General Motors. I'm not sure how the well-known issues of the 6.2 have passed over you.
