Alternative Fuels & Propulsion RANDOM

I’d assume most of these consumer EVs are leases... -

Reality is complex. -
Have a few days off, took a drive...beautiful sunny 75 degree day. Drove down to Tuscarawas County where I'm from and drove some backroads I haven't driven in 30 years or more.. Outside the village of Tuscarawas on a back road, I spotted what appeared to be a 1941 1940 LaSalle moldering in a yard...

Fiat News: FCA's Upcoming Small Cars To Switch To PSA Group Architecture
Robert Hall replied to William Maley's topic in Fiat
Well, to be realistic, maybe buyers over 50...I doubt if many younger buyers know French cars were once sold in the US. -
Yes, IIRC the book and movie was called 'Midnight in the Garden of Evil' I think...good movie w/ Kevin Spacey. When I was driving my sister back from West Palm Beach in January, I did spend a couple hours in St Augustine, Fla---has a neat historic district...would like to visit again. Spent the first night in Daytona Beach (I'd left WPB at about 9:30 pm) and the second night only made it just past Savannah to Yemasseee, SC.

Haven't seen a Maverick in forever...wowza. Never been to Savannah (been past the exit on I-95)...looks scenic.

Same first name, different empty suit...worked under Ghosn previously...they should have an American that understands the NA market in charge of the NA brands, not some empty suit w/ a Renault/Nissan past. -
Needed to watch something funny, started streaming the hilarious Canadian comedy 'Schitt'$ Creek'...I've long liked Eugene Levy and Catherine O'Hara in the Christopher Guest films (Best of Show, Mighty Wind, etc) and they are great in this comedy, along w/ Levy's son Dan.

Saw pics of the GW....looks fancy, Escalade sized, needs woodgrain side trim.. https://www.autoweek.com/news/future-cars/a33901878/look-inside-the-new-jeep-grand-wagoneer-concept-vehicle/?source=nl&utm_source=nl_aut&utm_medium=email&date=090320&utm_campaign=nl21400259&utm_term=AAA -- High Minus Dormant and 90 Day Non Openers

I had a friend in college from Macedonia the country and one from Macedonia, Ohio.. Macedonia, Ohio is nearby, I like the area...

Heh-heh...Henry Hill and the '68 GP. I wonder what the ride of choice for East Coast gangsters is today....seems the Ukranian gangsters around here favor 10-yr old S-class Mercs.

Exhaust coming out the door..that's...different. Someone went crazy at Pep Boys.

Saw this colorized pic on the FB...looks like a '39ish Ford COE with a custom cab..thought @balthazar would get a kick out of it. Neat looking truck.

This would be product aiming at a different buyer than the Durango...more at the buyers of soft roader chud that sells well--think of all the gray plastic interior Equinoxes, Blazers, Escapes, Santa Fes, Nissans, Terrains, Acadias, etc that sell... I'm not a fan, but subcompact and compact CUVs are a huge market right now. There is room to sell more and not badge them as Jeeps or Dodges. -

They have a bunch of small to midsize crossovers that could probably sell here, though....similar to the generic stuff that GM, Ford, Hyundai, Nissan, etc churn out en masse and Americans seem to have infinite appetite for. But under what brand? There was talk of bringing the Peugeot brand here. It's been almost 30 years since it was sold here. Launching a brand would be more $$$ and work than badge engineering.... Since Dodge is down to 3 vehicles that draw on V8 performance as part of their brand image, I don't see any of them fitting in at Dodge. Chrysler is pretty thin now, could use a couple more CUVs..and if they are purely soft roaders that would distinguish them from Jeep's rugged image. -
Yes, Italian-Americans working in a business of a likely illegal nature..

Yeah, like running afoul of goombas out of the Sopranos and they vandalize your car...

Barf....they already have that niche covered w/ the small Jeeps...does the US market need more generics? The V8 RWD product is what makes Dodge stand out in a market full of fecal fwd/awd transverse engine despair gray interior generic appliances...Dodge doesn't need such chud...anyway, from the article, it sounds like the PSA stuff will be for the European market. Maybe the next gen Renegade and Compass will be on a PSA platform? Anyway, I do hope Stellantis finds a future for the Charger and Challenger and keeps them real...I'd hate to see those names and style wasted on appliances.. -

Those look like some older neighborhoods in Cleveland.. -

In Europe, that is. Their products wouldn't fit at Dodge...small FWD hatchbacks wouldn't work in the US. Maybe some of the CUVs at Chrysler. Dodge is all about RWD V8.. -
My previous next-door neighbors had bought a wrecked red FR-S/86 for their teenage son a couple years ago...was missing most of the front end..they rebuilt it in their driveway and at one point had it in the backyard up on ramps, I think they took the engine out w/ a block and tackle attached to a tree branch...Ukrainian shade tree mechanics. It was zooming around the neighborhood the last year going BrrraWWWWWppppp...
