Dodge Will Cave Unless They Do These 3 CRITICAL THINGS!

Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары

I give you my thoughts on what Stellantis needs to do to help Dodge succeed in the future. There are 3 critical things that Dodge, Jeep, Chrysler, RAM must do in order to regain the trust and the business of their brand loyal enthusiasts that have sworn them off. I tell you why these things are so important to Dodge staying relevant in the years to come.

    I don't really think Stellantis really cares about the Mopar brand. Otherwise they wouldn't have killed the hemi and the Challenger. Why would they kill off a top selling car? That would be like Ford killing the Mustang. They should see the writing on the wall. EV's aren't selling. Americans want cheap gas and fast cars.

    They care because the Hemis were selling like hotcakes and were the only thing dodge was making. Until they were forced to discontinue it and the Hemi Brotherhood clutch on their pearls crying that Dodge is doomed because Stellantis doesn't care. No becuase Dodge refused to "sell out" as the crybabies say. Before Daimler bought Chrysler pre-2000, the last version of the Charger L-Body from 1981-87 had a 1.6 L Peugeot or a 1.7 L VW sourced I4, or a 2.2L I4 Turbo. Post merger, you got the current chassis Chargers thanks to Mercedes. The Viper was thanks to Shelby giving Ford the finger, Iacocca and Dodge owning enough of Lamborghini to derive the V10 that became the 8.0L Viper plant. As for the EVs well, its the scam everyone has fallen for and the brands have to do to not get fined for having their fleet above that targeted overall number set by the EPA. 36-40mpg and 40% EV by I believe 2028?

    Drove a Dodge Ram with the Hemi 5.7 for the last 15 years. Just got a new Ram Rebel with the Hemi 5.7 and I will drive it for as long as I can. I chose to buy now because I don't want the 6 cylinder. Similar to how I keep driving the 2012 Boss 302 because I don't want the big tablets across the dash in a new one. Maybe I am just getting stubborn as I get older, but I know what I like and that is how I will spend my money.

    Here's what needs to happen (in my opinion) - and in this order. 1) Elect a new president. 2) Immediately change EPA regulations so automakers have flexibility to build what people want. 3) Offer the I-6 as the new base engine. 4) make the 6.2 and 6.4 V8s optional 5) Abandon (or greatly restrict) the electric option since it's obvious nobody above 10-15% of the market wants them. 6) Price all of the above at reasonable prices. This would be a winning formula, but I have little confidence in the current management of Dodge/Stellantis that any of this would happen

    Love Dodge, had 3 Chargers and one Challenger Scat Pack. I’m still kicking myself for trading in my Scat Pack. Feel like Dodge brand is very disorganized at the moment. Thought about buying another Scat Pack but prices have gone crazy at dealerships. When I bought my 2020 Challenger Scat Pack it was around $48k now they are charging almost 55-60k!

    Hybrid V8, flex fuel tech across all platforms, and utilize turbo tech instead of on N/A or supercharged options. All of these are huge performance upgrades and smog compliant. Obviously have a few EV options to take advantage of credits as well

    I have been a Mopar enthusiast since I was 18 years old when I bought my first 70 Dodge Charger that was a one owner with 53k original miles back in '86. I have saw them go through the rotten years up through the glory years and have owned a lot of Dodges and Plymouths over the years. Most recently a 2010 Challenger R/T, '14 Ram, '17 Scat Pack Challenger and currently a '15 Ram R/T. I also currently own a '67 Dodge Dart hot rod, but have decided that after these are gone, I will not purchase another Stellantis product. I have watched them destroy the CDJR brand and am going with the import models going forward starting with the very soon purchase of a Toyota. So long Stellantis, not been so nice knowing you!

    You nailed it ! Dodge dealerships are, IMO, the biggest issue. Dealerships have always been a “sticky” part in the auto purchase process, however in the last few years it’s become more prevalent. I wanted a challenger RT or scat but withall the B.S coming from the dealerships, I went and bought a Mustang. Sold my RAM pickup and bought a f250. Completely done with Dodge and the headaches they are causing in the auto market. Keep up the good work thanks for posting this.

I was Mopar die hard kind of guy but Dodge got to greeted with Markups and they should have done something about those dodges dealership with outrageous markups. Shape on them.

    Well, a new V8 is a pretty big ask considering the R&D and manufacturing tooling they will have to spend for a niche market. Especially with the power output numbers of the SST Hurricane. Greed-flation really kicked in once all companies (not just cars) saw they could make less and charge more, or just charge more just because they could because of "inflation" all while benefitting from their massive tax cuts. And to be honest, everybody that overpaid for a vehicle that wasn't a necessary buy is a key contributor to the problem. Nobody "needed" a Hellcat/Scatpack to get to work especially to warrant overpaying for it and even more so for it to likely be a weekend driver. As long as people have money to burn and spend it frivolously, the world will keep inflating the economy making record profits along the way. To be honest, Stellantis/Dodge's real concern should be that nobody is buying the Hornet. I have yet to see one on the road. And Jeep may as well go away at this point. Stellantis has bigger problems to worry about than a comparatively small crowd of V8 people.

    I was going to buy a scat pack back in late 2019 when they were $42,900($38,050 after $4850 discount) but didn’t pull the trigger because I could find an orange one. I got the itch to buy one again in late 2021 but the prices had gone through the roof. I might end up buying one if there ends up being a ton a repos and the price craters on used ones.

    A turbo v6 based on the 87 Buick grand national engine would work. They performed better than modern 6.4 hemis and sound great with the right exhaust. A modern version would be epa friendly off boost. They could even tune in green from factory but allow easy retuning for the aftermarket.

    I think you alluded to it in a prior video, but they had opportunity to bring back the Stealth to fill the gap. They could have taken the power plants from the Alfa Giulia or a variant of them which seem to be reliable engines and put together a halo car to replace the Viper and Challenger.

    I have owned a couple of Rams, a couple of Chargers, all with the 5.7 Hemi. I used to dream of owning a Charger scatpack wide body, but when they announced all of the EV, they killed the Hemi and raised all of the prices through the roof. My car choice now is a 5.0 Mustang. I have never been a Ford guy, but for the money and horsepower at this point, you can't beat them.

    I’m so done with getting another Dodge. Made my 2012 Charger R/T into a Scat. I got 520hp at the crank,new Hellcat wheels coming & getting a full custom paint job blackberry pearl next week. The engine was warrantied 30,000 miles ago before I bought the car. Loaded,leather,slotted brakes,full exhaust and at least 1 person a day makes a comment on how they love the car. All paid for but if Dodge finally drops prices $15,000-$20,000 plus low financing I’ll get a new one.

    I am a long time Moparite. I know the Hemi is short lived and the reasons why. One of the first Mopars in my family when I first started driving was a Slant Six Valiant. I am actually excited about the Hurricane. My wife is making noises about the Wagoneer. I would like try the Twin Turbo Six but I am afraid the car will be way more than we can afford. We have a '21 Grand Cherokee L with a lot of life left in it so a new Wagoneer is probably just a pipe dream. We are both retired, comfortable our income but it won't cover an $80,000+ car, she likes her bells and whistles.
