I do wonder if the Charger and Challenger will continue. It hasn’t been clear to me if 2023 is just the end of the Hellcat models or the end of the current Charger and Challenger generation completely. They are being quiet about that unless I’ve misunderstood. I hope they do use it in cars. I assume Ram will get it for trucks and Jeep will use it elsewhere.

I just don't like small cars in general. Too noisy on the road, cramped and uncomfortable. For my next new car, it will probably be another Grand Cherokee...maybe an Overland or Summit w/ the McIntosh stereo. I'm channeling my inner 65 year old, but I would love a brand new 1996 Cadillac Brougham, Buick Roadmaster or Lincoln Town Car w/ today's infotainment systems, soft-touch interior trim and today's V8 power and efficiency. But with the classic cushy seats and ride and quiet...I want serenity in my drive, but still want blast some U2, NIN, Eagles, Joe Bonamassa, Pink Floyd, Pearl Jam, or Beethoven when I feel like it..

I still wouldn't mind having a Challenger..though I don't need a Hellcat..the regular R/T or R/T Scat Pack 392 w/ a manual and maybe the wide body would be fine, as long as it's in F8 green or octane red. Maybe I'll get a CPO or otherwise clean late model one when I get my property plans sorted (got to have more garage space). Though I do like the 2015+ Mustang quite a bit also.

I thought the same about the Demon 170 name. So tame. The Hellcat image is outrageous, the name should be outrageous. Something like Demon Tire Mutilator, Demon Defecator ( since it sh*ts all over the competition), Demon Dominator… I read that the silver and black 170 they have been showing to the press has been stolen already.

The Cybertruck is one body style only, not remotely competitive with the F150. You actually think there will be a next generation that competes w/ the F150? I doubt it...they haven't even made a 2nd generation of the Model S. Tiny company, poor quality, unable to compete w/ real car companies...claiming they will have a product that will outsell the F150 is just fanboy dreamer BS.

I assume the Charger EV will be a low volume novelty though. Can't imagine the police fleet volume of Chargers going to the EV version. Definitely going to be interesting to see what comes out in the next year or so. I can't imagine the Cybertruck will ever be in high production, let alone 'wrecking' the sales of full size trucks...it's just a novelty..no way that garbage will outsell the F150.

My company is publicly traded, looks like they had a small percentage of their cash reserves in SVB, and some 'sweep' accounts (not quite sure what that entails). But they have their investments diversified across several banks is my understanding.

I’ve been watching this closely. My employer (Alkami Technology) is on that list linked above. My CEO sent a Slack announcement about it and that it would not affect payroll (got paid on the 15th). Strange days in tech right now.

I was thinking more of an SUV coupe...like a fastback Grand Cherokee, conceptually similar to the MB GLE coupe. An Eagle revival as an AWD lifted sport wagon could be very cool also, though.. given the success of Subaru w/ their Outback wagons, I'm surprised Jeep hasn't done an Eagle wagon revival....

Industry News: KIA EV9 Will It Be The First To Market A Full Size EV SUV?
Robert Hall replied to G. David Felt's topic in Kia
Bingo... ..the average consumers don't want cars anymore, only CUVs.. I miss sedans and coupes, but that is a very minority viewpoint in today's marketplace of generic consumers and gray/white/black CUVs. (Of course I'm being hypocritical with a black SUV and a gray CUV in my garage, and 3 vintage coupes I don' t drive...but that will change in time). -

Telluride and Palisade have rather short wheelbases for 3 row CUVs. -

So how does it compare dimensionally to the Telluride and Palisade? -
Sounds like this new V8 is like the one Ford introduced a few years ago, for the super duty trucks as an alternative for the diesels.
