" Ford claims the 2018 Expedition has 40 new-to-the-model features and optional driver-assist technologies. Maneuvering is made easier with a 360-degree camera, parking sensors, and trailer backup assist. It also will offer lane-keeping assist, adaptive cruise control, pre-collision warning with automatic braking, and blind-spot monitoring. " C&D

    Solid Competitor to the Tahoe / Suburban. Past that, Meh on the interior, just something about the layout that does nothing for me. Nice update by Ford.

    I will happily take Sergio's place as I can do a way better job than he is doing. I would start by killing the Alfa, Keep Fiat in Europe where it is big, kill Fiat in the US. Move Fiat products to Dodge rebadged. Move dodge products to Fiat rebadged, Chrysler become pure Luxury and mini van is moved to dodge. Dodge is the car brand, Jeep the SUV brand and Ram the truck brand. If it is not complete now, push to complete a single dealership one stop shop with Jeep, Dodge, Ram & Chrysler. Move the Alfa auto to Chrysler. Update the 300 to be a competent competitor. So much can be done to improve the company and not the way Sergio is doing it. He is a complete idiot!

    This story is posted by MSN in their auto forum from a U.S. News and World Report story on "Why Are Manual Transmission Disappearing?" Thought it was an interesting piece. I agree with some of what is said but also feel there is a lack of effort on why some might still want a manual or how they can keep the value by being an informed sales person. I will agree that the best anti-theft device is a manual transmission now. Seems the news has more and more stories about the craziness of people breaking in to steal an auto and when it is a manual they end up having to leave. http://www.msn.com/en-us/autos/ownership/why-are-manual-transmissions-disappearing/ar-BBwHYFp?li=BBnb7Kz

    Very cool, thanks for the link, looks like they have the same features now as GM. I wonder how hard it would be to get the programming of this motor with more HP and Torque and put it on the same TT V6 in the Explorer? My 1994 GMC Suburban SLE is Monochromatic and I love the black grill with the Ruby Red GMC in the center. I then have Black Chrome rims on her.

    I have to say that I love my auto's to be Monochromatic and that I wish GM would stop having to have Chrome on Everything. I would love a new Escalade or Yukon that was all Monochromatic with only the logo in the center of the grill. I personally think this is a nice looking SUV 2017 Ford Explorer Sport. Would have to do after market Rims as I would want them all black, Black Chrome would be a nice accent, but not regular chrome or the existing rims.

    Agree, time to enjoy something new and reliable. Always nice to clean house and not deal with old stuff. Wishing you all the best for your new choices of rides. I am very much interested in what those are, can you list them please. I am being serious as I like both but would love to know the differences. Thank you

    Time for FCA to clean house, Dump the stupid Fiat and Alfa brand names. Move Fiat into Dodge. Move the Minivan, Chrysler's sole product now into Dodge. Move Alfa sole product into Chrysler and rebuild it as a Luxury line ONLY. FCA becomes 4 product lines Jeep, Dodge, Ram and Chrysler. Spin off the other non-essential products. Totally agree with everyone about performance versions of GM Full Size SUV's.

    Jeep Renegade are all over the dealership lots with low miles. Like the fiats buyers seem to not hold onto them. This starts the question of why would you have so many with low miles, low selling prices on used lots. http://www.truedelta.com/Jeep-Renegade/reliability-1289 Data is limited, but this little Jeep is just a rebadged Fiat 500 series. Reviews also tend to have the yellow flag of caution. http://www.truedelta.com/Jeep-Renegade/car-reviews-M203 Many of us here were taken or smitten with this little auto at first. Yet if you have test drove one and sat in one, you start to see many things from fit n finish to the over all tactile feel. This is an auto I could not recommend to family, friends or an acquaintance. Alfa, I go by the sparse few that are here in washington state and the couple that are owned by others in my company that have had the auto in the shop more than at their home. My opinion, Fiat / Alfa is still garbage just like they were back in the 70's when I was around them. Jeep Renegade sadly had to deal with it's origins which are poor to begin with. My personal opinion.

    I agree with what you say, but am thinking it might be time to reitre Chrysler with their single minivan. Move it to Dodge and focus on Dodge, Ram Jeep. If you want to keep Chrysler, then time to return to the history of Chrysler as a luxury brand above dodge.

    Poor quality statement is in regards to Fiat, Alfa and in the case of Jeep the Renegade which is based on the POS Fiat. Rest of Jeep lineup I am fine with, I do worry about the new compass that is replacing the old compass/patriot. Fiat has failed to build any faith that they can engineer a quality auto.
  15. G. David Felt
    History and stupid ideas like expanding Jeep dealerships by 400 so they are in miles of each other tends to not lead well with most that can look at poor quality and not see positive things. I am 99.9% of the time a Half full glass guy, but right now FCA is doing nothing to change that they are half empty and getting lower with their decisions.

    Very interesting and good wrap up.

    Nice, I can easily see this as a Buick too.

    More of Sergio Stupidity. This will hurt and just proves Sergio is an idiot as he has not learned from the other auto makers that more dealers is not always good. Sergio is only looking at how can we move more metal onto other peoples lots to show we are bigger. not about success of the existing company. I could go down so many ways this is poor business planning and management, but I think most of the intelligent folks here also see this is suicide.

    Alfa and Fiat have a track record of building garbage and I see no reason based on the alfa dealership here and the few that have been sold to coworkers that have had the auto in the shop more than in their own garage. At least the old MB platform is very solid, I fear that the history will take the GC to a low that will hurt them not help them. Sergio is considerably cutting corners trying to survive and I doubt they will offer a good unibody system that is better than the MB one. They have much to prove about the alfa stuff.

    Weird that some do not see the option.
  23. G. David Felt
    I would agree with this!

    Interesting concept

    Nope, no defending Sergio!
