I agree with you on FIAT and Alfa Romeo. Neither of them should have been brought to the USA in the first place, but Sergio answers to Italians on the boot, not shareholders. Stellantis should ditch FIAT and Alfa Romeo as soon as possible. Why? Simple: Stellantis is NOT VW, nor should they aspire to be VW. Don't believe me? Ask Ford and their plans to become another GM in the 1950s with the Continental and especially the Edsel.

FIAT Chrysler products are still sitting on the lot these days. I wonder how Stellantis will solve this problem.

100% EV car sales in eight years? Unless ICE autos are traded in for EVs en masse, I doubt they will come close to reaching their goals. I could see Washington state require state government agencies go full EV, but the private sector will not move as fast. EVs are (for the most part) still expensive, especially compared to buying a decent used car with relatively low miles.

One question: where does KIA fit into Hyundai/KIA/Genesis anyway? Seems to me that KIA is the value brand for the Koreans.

Neither do I. I would NOT expect GM or Stellantis to do that either.

I agree. The placement of this FORD plan here is a little inappropriate.

KIA will get a luxury marque as soon as Amanti rises from Mazda. NOT GONNA HAPPEN. KIA is a pre-2000 Plymouth, nothing else.

Cars have been getting more expensive in the last two years. The percentages may be shocking but not much else. BTW: How many vehicles have Rivian actually sold in the last two years? It can't be more than the sales of the newest Silverado/Sierra in that time.

The Yale study is fine. It does NOT answer one question: When will EVs be cheap enough to displace used ICE vehicles? If you want transportation to emit less pollution and fewer emissions, then ICE vehicles need to be replaced. How fast that will be done, given the current EV market share is 2% in the USA and even less worldwide, is the only real question that matters. Whoever can sell at least one million EVs a year will make this somewhat plausible.

While this is bad for us if we were BUYING a new vehicle, it does improve the chances that GM and Ford and (what's left of) Chrysler will still be around. Remember how GM and Ford and Chrysler were before 2009? Constantly building too much and moving the metal and perennial discounts. That is truly no more. At least Build to Order will make it easier to BUY what we want. . . . pity about the higher prices.

That Caddy could easily be the next Camaro. Other than that, not really a Cadillac.

Other than the Corvette and the BOF trucks/SUVs, where is GM's killer product?

About turning a Buick into a Mopar competitor: WHY? Just dramatically update the Camaro and that should settle that issue. If Buick were to get a really fast car, then it needs to be aimed correctly: not Mopar but Lincoln and especially Acura.

Yes, we shall see if there is much market acceptance for either EV once released.

Heavy equipment is fine. Just NOT regular cars, please.

Airless Tire Technology. Does anyone remember run-flat tires from about ten years ago? Those were bad and few actually sold. WHY are they repeating the same mistakes?

This sounds great. One question: what if nobody buys what these plants are making 5-7 years from now?

OK. Why are Camaro sales last year so low compared to the Challenger and the Mustang?

Unproven technology with no driver override. Possibly very dangerous. YOU go First!

The reality is SAD because a lot of buyers are settling for Toyota when they are no longer the leader in quality. Simply put, Toyota is living off a reputation that is no longer true. What is even sadder is that fewer people are buying GM vehicles than ever. While mediocrity at GM has diminished, sales numbers do not reflect the new reality. To a lot of people, when in doubt, buy the Toyota. SAD.

And yet the default is buy a Toyota. Just like buy a Chevrolet 40 or 50 years ago was the default. SAD.

I believe that since no one has died, coverage is more sparse and less sensationalist. Also, some people are willing to cut Tesla some slack, given how young and 'hip' the company is compared to the competition. Eventually Tesla will probably be swept aside by the legacy automakers since Tesla has not made a truly affordable model to replace all the new/newish cars out there.

Uh, how did this happen? The plans for the new school and how/when it was built . . . .

People keep saying that Genesis is doing better than ever. Which cars/crossovers/trucks/SUVs are being traded in for Genesis vehicles? Is Genesis really conquering customers from other luxury marques OR is Genesis netting customers coming from more mainstream brands?

Can these EV trucks survive a Detroit or Minneapolis winter with little or no loss in performance and battery life? That is the question!
