  1. Yet Pugeot out sells Chrysler and Dodge. http://carsalesbase.com/european-car-sales-data/peugeot/ 2019, they have sold to date = 664,964 auto's. I have to think a rebadge of their auto's could sell here. P&O auto's are doing much better than Fiat and Alfa. https://www.best-selling-cars.com/europe/2019-september-europe-car-sales-and-market-analysis/ hundreds of thousands better.
  2. Thank you for your input on this, I was actually not thinking that the LX platform auto's would survive, just the Dealership names of Dodge and Chrysler with rebadge of PSA auto's having those badges on them. I disagree, there is no evidence that a D or C badge on a Pugeot or Opel would not sell here. I would expect those divisions to add a bit of American flair anyways to a P or O platform auto being sold under those names.
  3. Dealerships will Sue, this will end up in the courts if they try to kill off the Dodge and Chrysler dealerships here. I would expect re-badges to go in. The only way D&C get killed off is if they are given P&O dealerships to replace them. I think marketing would hold a P&O dealership back compared to re-badge P&O product as D&C product.
  4. Yes, Yes we do as Rain is a solid wet drop, versus Seattle has more Drizzle than rain unless you live around the Hoh Rain Forest on the coast, there you get heavy rain.
  5. Ya guys can keep the rolling hills and the Hell on earth heat, I will stay put in the PNW with the drizzle, cool temps and 4 distinct seasons. ?
  6. Is that dash all soft touch or is the section over the gauges and the bulk of the dash hard plastic like it looks with just a soft touch few inch curved section? How is the rest of the interior on this black hole interior?
  7. Be interesting to see their platform if they go the Tesla route or the Rivian route.
  8. Kill off Fiat and Alfa should have never been allowed to happen and they would be been profitable. Alfa was a stupid decision to bring it back from the grave as was bringing Fiat here to the US.
  9. Wow, had not seen this pic before, but clearly this trailer is not the same as the one above. I agree that there are two different trailers being shown. Also in comparing the pictures the wind shield on the side goes back to the front of the first set of tires where this one is clearly much shorter. Must be playing with the differences in what makes it slip through the air the best.
  10. Truck Repair job security? ?
  11. ? Seriously? All cab over semi's turn the same, those front wheels and the trailer turns within the wind block walls so from the side you do not see the usual big gap. Very efficient flow of air over this sexy classy truck. I honestly am Surprised Kenworth / Peterbuilt, a Paccar division has not come out with such a sexy truck yet. Clearly Europe lead truck maker MB has not done it. ?
  12. WOW, So who's job is it to monitor and make sure these pipes are getting replaced on time? Clearly someone failed in the GOV to maintain the infrastructure. ?
  13. Yes, they have it as an option, but I question how many sales, European union has stated sales are in clear decline.
  14. Could be triple or quadruple flushes, just depends on how many logs you lay. Flush each one to keep it clean and fresh.
  15. This would be a good fit to consolidate these two companies into one.
  16. That is one hell of a sexy Class 8 Semi truck!
  17. GM lost on this battle and the UAW will hit Ford and FCA equally hard and we will be left with higher auto prices.
  18. Have to say, I am really liking the style direction Kia is going, very refreshing.
  19. Are you sure about Europe on that? I believe due to Diesel Gate VW, BMW and Mercedes-Benz, that Diesel is in a short list of death and will be gone in the next few years too, also my travels have shown the opposite as I rarely except in old auto's see manuals. Everything is auto now and the costs have truly kept the young away from auto's so I do not see Manuals as a Prevalent transmission in their mainstream auto's. Europeans are also starting to get bigger and as such, I think they will be moving to bigger auto's too. Buyers are on the fence awaiting choices and I will bet we will see many buy once a variety of EVs are out. Ignore the future at your own expense.
  20. No one likes stinky lingering fumes, double flush all the way!
  21. Would love them to go back to calling it a Skyline EV that is a true Godzilla of the road.
  22. Long term, Manuals are dead and so will be the automatic transmission as we migrate to electrics. Yes some EVs have 2 step automatic trans, but I believe in time, even those will go away. Humanity is finding alternative things to do and enjoy and with roads so congested, the days of Manual Sport Enthusiasts are numbers sadly. RIP the Manual!
  23. Exterior reminds me of the Blazer, love the interior though!
  24. ? So not climate change than, lol
  25. Continue to close plants, automate with Robotics the building of new cleaner EVs and reduce the UAW to nothing!
