Chrysler is Officially Gone, Stellantis Takes Over (Dying Brands, Electric Vehicles, & UPDATES!)
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 25 янв 2021
- With the merger between Groupe PSA and Fiat-Chrysler Automobiles finally completed, I wanted to share more updates on the name, logo, and other important details about the one merged entity going forward. I’ve got some updates as well as some information from a Carlos Tavares interview that was done on January 21, 2021, answering some FAQs and addressing important issues and questions.
The merger was first announced 15 months ago, a $52B deal in October 2019, and the deal was officially completed this past week on January 19th, 2021. That merger creates the world’s fourth-largest carmaker by volume, and is expected to reduce costs by $6.1B, 80% of which will be realized before 2025. The combined annual sales will be 8.1 million vehicles, with total annual profits of $14.5B. The new automotive group, called Stellantis, will be led by the CEO Carlos Tavares, who was the CEO of Groupe PSA prior to the merger. Current FCA CEO Mike Manley becomes the Head of Americas with respect to Strategy and Performance.

"Ask your doctor if Stellantis is right for you."
And get a PSA test
Lol
Now that ........... is funny!!!
Its perfect for people looking to get healthy. Cuz your hona be walking alot.
I’m a huge Chrysler fan. Hopefully PSA doesn’t screw over FCA. Chrysler cannot afford any more issues than they already had such as bad mergers and bad management. Chrysler NEEDS to come back! If they stay loyal to the customers I will stay loyal to the brand. If only lee iococca was here! He tried so hard to keep Chrysler afloat and he did and it was actually one of the most successful companies. It only makes me like the brand more because he saved the company so hopefully Chrysler will live on as an AMERICAN brand. Please Lord help them out make this company be successful with ALL the brands And save peoples jobs and livelihoods
Love Mopars but the name Stellantis is the worst name ever. No passion and sounds like a medical company. Ok actually sounds like a male enhancement drug. I guess they hope their sales will rise.
Side effects of Stellantis include spontaneous combustions of the stomach, liver, and kidneys. Do not take Stellantis if you have had a history of eating.
Sounds like an industrial stool softener.
Ok so i have a buick tour x it was bought at gm but is an opel who the hell do i get parts from
Stella this sounds like an hemorrhoid creame
Lets hope it grows on us in a good way
From reading a recent report I've heard that Chrysler, Dodge, Lancia, Maserati, and Alfa Romeo will be invested and that no brand will be discontinued.
Yes. What scares me is the 'DS' brand. PSA is investing and is hopeful for it! Money should be invested in poor-selling older brands like Alfa, Lancia and Chrysler than in a new irrelevant and stupid brand. 🙄
@@mastermaltese8731 I think this is where FCA originally not wrong, turning a cold eye on brands that were struggling because their bases were going out of style in America. They should’ve tried harder to keep every brand relevant, not just Jeep or Ram.
@@mastermaltese8731 I think Tavares has a personal attachment to DS because he's pretty much been around the brand since its founding
Yup Tavares likes the brands and doesn’t want to kill any off. Dodge is killing it and just needs next gen vehicles in a few years. Chrysler needs to add more vehicles to the lineup, same for Lancia. Maserati and Alfa need a ton of work they currently offer mediocre vehicles dressed up in a beautiful package and have dismal sales. I’m confident about all the brands going forward although not sure how they will get Alfa and Mas to succeed
The good thing about PSA they are giving their companies the ability to do what they want, of course they share platforms and power trains and parts but the 3008 compared to Opel/Vauxhall suvs are very different and the 208 and Corsa have different styles and the new Opel Mokka is very different from the 2008 both offer a different style their own identity so when you sit in a Peugeot, Citroen and Opel/Vauxhall they all feel different and the problem about FCA is they always reuse the same interior it nearly looks the exact same and they drive nearly the exact same.
Dear Stellantis,
Create cars that have Toyota-quality and you'll be selling a lot of cars.
Sincerely, Everyone.
No because the service department makes 80% of income for new car dealerships and on average dealerships brings about 15-30 million or more per year
The Ram 2500 was ranked as the 3rd most reliable pickup of 2019, right behind the F-250, and the Tundra. EDIT: I know it seems too soon to judge reliability, but there are many older Ram's with very high mileage. There is even a million mile club for the truck with the diesel engine. It's not uncommon for these trucks to go hundreds of thousands of miles without major issues. I have seen them for myself. I have a Ram sitting in my driveway with 253k on it.
@@gasolinediesel972 how can you actually base reliability on under 3 year old vehicle? Look at it again in 10 years
@@WhysafraidofCause Okay, there are many 2011 Ram 2500's still on the road. Also, the 6.7 Cummins diesel, and the 6.4 hemi are VERY reliable engines. The Aisin 6 speed paired to the diesel is bulletproof, and made by Toyota. The ZF 8 speed paired to the hemi is considered is considered the best automatic transmission in the world. Very reliable vehicles. The 68RFE paired to the low output diesel isn't the best transmission, but if you maintain it, it can last forever.
@@gasolinediesel972 My friends 2013 Ram needed massive engine repairs at 140 000. I dont think quality is there.
Perfect opportunity to dust off some of the Chrysler concept vehicle drawings, and full scale models, and decide what could go into actual production. Make the Chrysler brand more than just a people mover.
Yup! At the very very very least just add more models, whether new from previous concepts or rebranded Peugeots. They actually have some nice looking SUVs and Chrysler desperately needs one of those. It’s been the pacifica and 300 for way too long to the point that all non-car people think Chrysler is dead.
@@MarspeedCars A betting man may just bet that either the Chrysler or Dodge or both brands will be retired and the American arm of the virus (Stellantis) concentrate on RAM and JEEP given SUVs and light trucks appear to rule the roost in America.
The same betting man may bet on the retirement of European brands that are at a minimum not popular across all of Europe.
With the retirement of underperformed global brands comes the synergy and cost savings in factories, selling and marketing costs.
I like the name Chrysler better 😩
The Chrysler name is staying. The global name of the conglomerate is Stellantis.
@@tingokuman Chrysler hasn't fully been Chrysler since before the Nazi buyout, long ago. But even at that, they have remained the best.
At least we will still have a few Chrysler vehicles (for now)
@@MarspeedCars yeah 🙁
Yeah... but when you now that the merger was decided over dinner between Tavares, a member of the Peugeot family and a member of the Agnelli family, in a parisien apartment, that was never going to happen...
Stellantis is awesome, got rid of my rectal itching in a few weeks,two thumbs up!
I’m going to continue calling the company Chrysler. I don’t mind Stellantis, but I’m not going to drop the Chrysler name. I just hope the same look is kept.
Chrysler, because it's been basically dormant for some time, has potential both in the US and China.
Even though making Opel the group's global brand seems a most logical move given the prestige of German brands, in the US Chrysler should be selling rebranded Opel or Peugeot cars.
Dodge may ultimately be the most endangered Stellantis brand once the current generation is retired. The Dodge name, however, could live on attached to Ram as was basically the Cerberus plan when it wanted to make Dodge all trucks/SUV.
I keep hearing Vauxhall is in danger but don't believe it given the UL's overall nationalist Brexit anti German mood. Vauxhall is only a branding exercise that costs little to promote.
Lancia should stay Italia only with Yipsilon sold as a FIAT or Citroen in all other markets.
Stellantis must create a R&D mash up JV with a company like Tata's JLR for future RWD models for Alfa, Maserati and Dodge. Cost cutting would be huge, quality could improve and all involved brands would become more fit. In the process DS should probably be closed since it only makes money in France and seems designed for China as opposed to European or US sales.
Opel-Vauxhall-Chrysler could make an amazing global brand giving Stellantis a chance to re-enter markets like India and China where Peugeot failed.
Mateeeeeee Stellantis is the name of the conglomerate, Chrysler is still a brand.
@@marnuscoreyempanadaslooseb6760 I know but people call the entire corporation "Chrysler"
@@jammin3733 Actually it was Fiat Chrysler Automobiles (FCA) and before that Daimler-Chrysler... it hasn't been just Chrysler for a long time.
@@DR_Bloom86 yes, but many people including me call the entire corporation chrysler
They really need to give us a Lancia Delta that can compete with the Impreza.
A man can only dream 🥺
Just make sure the corrosion resistance is better than before
@@MacTechG4 those were the Betas, the Delta's held up better.
I agree, they should also consider the other iconic Lanica's of the last century.
Kinda sad. Grew up with them. It once was Chrysler, Dodge, Plymouth, all American. Let's not forget that.
I definitely agree!!
80s baby
RIP Dodge Stratus, everyone's favorite uncle car
Don’t forget Pontiac
@@frenchiewooh Pontiac wasn't part of Chrysler, but regardless, I miss Pontiac
Remember when Chrysler bought AMC for the rights to the Jeep name, and wound up saddled with Renaults? and AMC had bought Kaiser for the Jeep, and Kaiser had bought Willys-Overland to get the Jeep?
Hmmm. Yet Renault/Nissan is now one of the world's biggest automakers... So what's your point?
It seems to me that it's not about the name but the vision. The PSA management certainly has the imagination, but even they might have a hard ask with the US side.
Meanwhile American Bantam was like: “shit was our idea first” LOL
@@davidcolin6519 The point is PSA wanted to buy Jeep like many before it and, as a bonus, got a bunch of struggling brands it would have to somehow manage.
@@Szpagin I am well aware of your point, though I don't think that it's as simple as just getting Jeep.
As far as management teams are concerned, I really rate the PSA group's abilities. OTOH, these are companies that have a long history of decline, and it'll take some serious genius to bring the potential out of some of them.
For good reason to own Jeep, they literally helped win WW2, you know how good for marketing that would be?
Never, ever, EVER believe a company that is going to (or has) merged but says "Don't worry. No one will be fired. No plants will close." That's always corporate horseshit.
@Rouge Five If they were the case, they wouldn't merge.
@Rouge Five Oh, your condescension makes your point that much more accurate. I wouldn't have believed you without it. Thanks for your wisdom.
Well I guess all can do is look at the Pentastar stamped on my Grand Cherokee’s windows .....so sad that’s gone
Is it gone? It didn't change when they went with FCA. Not sure why it would change with Stallantis.
"The name Stellantis is exclusively in use as a corporate brand, while its brands' names and logos remain unchanged"
you people should stop just trusting a RUclips video's title! ;-)
@69Mach I CJ versus getting them in Plymouth omnis after they are discontinued 😂😂😂
@69Mach I CJ Sure, but they aren't likely going to change the small legacy logos on cars that have been there for decades, they didn't do it with Daimler or FIAT either.
My dart has Mopar on everything, my PT cruiser had the penistar on it
Chrysler needs to be more upscale and luxury, just as dodge has become more sporty. When I think of Chrysler I think of the following vehicles\Trim Levels.. LHS, 300M, Concorde limited, Limited, Lxi .. just to name a few. Chrysler needs to stick to their luxury game and build upon it heavily. Also they need to offer premium trim levels with standard leather as they have at certain points in their history. For example, for the 2022 model year of the 300.. Base trim 300S - Mid trim 300c - top trim Pinnacle.
Unfortunately I think they are just too late for that. Maybe with the 300 but it’s already way cheaper than all competitors offering similar vehicles. The pacifica is pretty cheap other than the top trim Pinnacle and now Chrysler seems to want to phase out the 300. In my eyes they are now a people mover brand that needs a lot of vehicle options with SUVs and electric vehicles in this ‘new era’. Maybe they can still carry that ‘budget luxury’ name though that they once did in the mid 2000s with the 300C, Aspen, Crossfire, etc. Always cheaper than a BMW or Merc with equal or better performance and a nice interior
@@MarspeedCars Question for you.. I have been looking at build configuration for CDJ. I notice on the Jeep Grand Cherokee Limited it says leather trimmed seats. Then I move over to the Summit model and again it says leather trimmed seats. A while back, the limited model with the luxury package specified Nappa leather so did the summit. Now it’s gone.. is the standard leather upgraded or is this another down grade for the brand.
Or names like Imperial and New Yorker. That was classic American luxury.
@@tobyradloff Yes, indeed!
@@MarspeedCars a used Daimler design 300 or Magnum will be a keeper until there's an EV equiv.
new chargers just gonna be a euro hatchback with “performance” bumpers
Oh god... not the 80's...
Let's hope not
@@RageCannon-tf3ob oh hey its you from the mark video lmao
@@turbobricked5969 Yoo what's up Volvo 240
That didn’t happen when Chrysler merged with fiat, what makes you think all of a sudden the charger will be a European hatchback now?
Peugeot never left northamerica, its been sold in Mexico all these years
Mexico, lol
I hope they don't ruin the charger and challenger
Maybe the time has come to make a "special platform" for performance vehicles, able to stretch from a coupe to a full-size vehicle. It could carry hemis, Alfa's and Maserati's engines, become coupés, sedans and large SUVs... and then make the regular models on the efficient EMP2 platform from PSA
Pretty hard to ruin something that's been fossilized.
And the 300.
The Charger name was ruined the day they put two too many doors on it
@@frankleespeaking9519 exactly!... they should have made it a coupe and stick the Coronet badge on the 4 door
I'm 65. I've seen the French and Italians try multiple times to sell vehicles in the USA... with the same poor results. There may be global platforms but there's no such things as global cars. What sells in Budapest doesn't sell in Boise. If insanity is the repetition of the same actions with expectations of different results, then the folks at Stellantis are well and truly crazy.
CHRYSLER FOREVER IN MY HEART JUST LIKE DODGE AND PLYMOUTH
Lee Iaccoca is spinning in his grave at 8,000 RPM, thinking "I saved Chrysler for THIS??!!"

I need a second opinion.... my doctor said stellantis would be good for PSA, but bad for dodge.
If anything PSA can show FCA how to build reliable cars.
@@devilslayerthesaintofkille1317 you dont know shЇt about both if you say such bs
@@user-yj9hq8sq5y isn't peugeot the most reliable brand you can by in Europe, while chrysler is pretty much dead there? And the only benefit PSA is getting out of this alliance is access to the american market.
@@devilslayerthesaintofkille1317 correct, Peugeot is not known for reliability. But why would you say someone could learn something on that from them? Chrysler as former Chrysler Corp. is quite strong in the US being #4 biggest manufacturer. As a brand its not as dead as you think. It has one economy, one niche and one brand new car (which is best in class btw). And for a such small lineup, its pretty fine
@@devilslayerthesaintofkille1317 I am old enough to remember when PSA was sold in the USA years ago. They made very comfortable lawn ornaments. Couldn't keep the stupid things running long enough to drive themselves to the scrap yard.
Jeep Wranglers are made in my home town. When they built the new plant it was Daimler Chrysler, then FCA now Stellantis all in 20 years!
It will be Chinese in 5 years.
@@Ethan7s Please don’t joke. 😩
@@zanehayes4380 It's not a joke.
@@Ethan7s Ik
Well, the EMP2 platform from PSA can accomodate quite large vehicles, it has a good reliability record on its powertrains, it has gasoline, diesel, hybrid and electric powertrains... I hope they'll remake the current FCA models on it, they will save a ton on money on the long term, there is no need for a lot of R&D and the ridiculously old Chrysler platforms can finally become a piece of the past. No hate intended, just saying that they are becoming very obsolete whereas the PSA platforms are quite excellent in terms of quality, gas economy, etc
For the Mopar HEMI-powered, Alfa and Maserati models, they can make a special platform that can accomodate from coupés to full-size vehicles, because I think we can all agree that the days of selling millions V8 and even V6 powered cars are gone; they still represent some thousands of sales but either Stellantis optimises the cost of such models, either they will have to cancel some of them
There is another more recent platform on which the 2008 II and perhaps 208 II are built on, remplacing EMP2 which is aging ( first introduced all the way back in 2013 as a lightweight platform by the Peugeot 308 II and Citroën C4 Picasso II)
@@Spido68_the_spectator it's the small vehicle platform. Idk if ir is more recent, but it can't be stretched more than a 2008's size as far as I know
@@Spido68_the_spectator CMP is smaller platform. EMP2 is much larger one. They have a new one, called eVMP which is much better and could do BEV, HEV and normal engine cars. While now this could be STAL small, medium and larger platforms basically based on the PSA ones.
I still HATE the new name. I will still refer to the entire company as Chrysler
Sounds like a digestive tract drug
Stellantis is just the two names of the both FCA and PSA combined Chrysler and the Rest of the Mopar family still lives on. It is a odd name but it could be way worse. Look at the positives
Why? Chrysler died in 2009, all the new cars were Fiats. You'd be better off calling it Peugeot.
It wouldn't be Chrysler Dodge Jeep without Chrysler
@69Mach I CJ yes
Great, a bunch of companies with questionable quality and reliability decided to get together.
Step aside Fiat we'll show you how to really drive this company into the ground.
We can bring back Plymouth and Eagle and Imperial and DeSoto. They’ll save Chrysler
How would reviving a bunch of old car company’s that are long gone, with nobody’s interest at all save Chrysler? DeSoto has been gone for 60 years and imperial is gone for almost 40. Nobody will buy a DeSoto branded car in 2021 other than a handful of boomers that want to “reminisce”
Dreams, dreams, whenever i want you ill have to do, is dreammm
Yes jeep needs to make a 4x4 car like the eagle sx4
I hear Stellaris is going to bring back the AMC Gremlin and Pacer.
@@markh.6687 the amc gremlins they gonna bring back lmfao
"...No-one will lose their jobs, and no plants will be closed." That's how they're going to save six and a half billion dollars, by not changing anything. Damn, if only I'd known about that strategy when I was young I'd be wealthy today.
Seriously excited for the new Chrysler and Dodge vehicles that could arise from this merger. Really glad that Tavares decided to keep all brands. I hope this merger becomes a success.
The dodge was the biggest disappointment
They will not be Chrysler, they will be rebadged French or Italian vehicles. And they will be unreliable pieces of crap not really suited for America.
The main reason Fiat, Alpha Rameo, and Maserati don’t sell is because they are crappy cars in reliability
Rearranging deck chairs on the Titanic
I used this for my current events for government thank you so much
Chrysler should use the psa platforms to make more suvs, they will sell like hot cakes
Id say that's exactly what they'll do
PSA don't sell suv, it crossover
Sounds a bright future for all. Peugeot have been knocking it out of the park with their recent offerings. Each of the brands have emotional attachments for lots of people which seems to be something Tavares is ken to keep and attribute to turn into sales.
Well when French and Italian vehicles came to America years ago they were unreliable pieces of crap. We will see if anything has changed in the years that have passed.
As a big Alfa fan, I'm hoping the "economy of scale" will help R & D and allow Alfa to develop more product. Not sure if this is a marriage of love or a marriage of necessity.....We'll see how it plays out.
We cant lose Alfa, that would break my heart. :(
Imagine a future where a car company produces 30 models all of which share one of 3 electric skateboards manufactured in China. A skateboard with in wheel motors, no transmission and no physical steering column. A skateboard that can be self driving and gets software updates every night.
I can picture it now: 2022 Chrysler 200 based off the Opel Insignia (the same as a 2020 Buick Regal), now that PSA also owns Opel, which was a GM brand
Scotty Kilmer: *laughs in mechanical quality knowledge*
Scotty's not a Mopar fan, he hates the 5.7L HEMI.
@@crankychris2 I know that lol. That’s why I said he laughed
Scotty is an idiot
I remember Scotty talking about a Chrysler vehicle saying that the transmission was a Chrysler junk design when actually it was built by ZF it wasn't even a Chrysler transmission and he didn't know that cuz he is a hack.
Are we talking about the same hack that thinks the full sized Bronco is getting a 3 cylinder motor? That guy is either highly misinformed or purposely misleading people. Either way, stop watching him.
hopefully they do something big with Maserati. I want to like them but Maserati has been coming out with garbage after garbage for years now
Totally agree with you, that brand makes me angry lol but I’d like to see it succeed
I'm always leery of a 'merger of equals'. One of my old pals worked for Chrysler when they merged with Benz (oops, I mean Daimler). He left shortly afterward (turned out to be a smart move), and always said Daimler/Chrysler were equal, but the Chrysler was silent!
Isn't Stellantis that new legendary Pokémon?
LOL
Stellantis. the mysterious Pokemon and evolved form of Atlantis
Can we expect a 2021 SRT 'Cuda ?
Unfortunately I don’t think so (as much as it would be AWESOME!) it would cannibalize the challenger sales and be too similar to it. Challenger only sells 60-80k units per year so Cuda buyers would have been challenger buyers. However, why the hell not offer a Cuda visual package for like $5 even $10k and visually make the Challenger into a Cuda or something on Scat Pack models lets say. Could be a cool idea?
@@MarspeedCarsChrysler.com introduced a Barracuda baseball cap this week. In the description, they call it the Chrysler Barracuda.
Interesting!
Here we go again...why ??? It was a Plymouth deal,why would they confuse the name brand ? Dodge has the Challenger and Charger - no room for a Cuda nameplate...It's dead and gone folks.
actually, if this merger finally brings us an entirely new charger/challenger, I won’t be so disappointed.
And I’m talking entirely new, not just redesigned. Its been the same bones since mercedes E classes in the 90s lmaoo, I’m so ready for something new
Can’t fix something that’s already great, the French make shitty cars especially for the North American market be prepared to be disappointed.
@@RyanBowie1 it’s a great chassis and it shows. Just cause it’s new it won’t equal better or even reliable
Sadly I think you will be very disappointed, I think they will cease Charger and Challenger because of stupid emission standards, which means Dodge and their muscle cars will be killed sooner by the French than they would be by Joe Biden
@@DoctorTauri It's not a great chassis. It handles like complete garbage, and it barely passes crash tests.

It's a sad day for me, Chrysler is officially gone. Four generations of my family and me worked for Chrysler and were loyal to the company for decades. Now I will not purchase another vehicle built by this new company. It's no longer considered part of the big 3 US auto industry. You might as well move there operations out of our country. It makes me sick to see this happen. I remember how we went sold to the Germans ( DaimlerChrysler ) in the late 90's when we were in the black by 13 billion dollars. But there was a unlawful sale of the company by Chrysler Executives who sold us out. We were doing great before the sale, afterwards the Germans tried to steal our profits. But when they sold us to the Italians they had to pay it back or there would be no sale. People want to blame our government for jobs lost overseas but you should blame them and the rich 1% of this country for selling us out.

Reason why Mase and Alfa are tanking is because their classic brand image is Performance, Luxury, and $$$. Now it’s $$$, and Dart parts. It’s a recipe for failure
Especially with the sheer amount of Maserati dealerships in the country
Those brands are a colossal failure. The rest I care about and think they have a good road ahead but those are so shitty that I just don’t know who would want to buy one. Horrible depreciation, less performance than many other vehicles for twice the price, cheaply made, horribly unreliable. Maybe there’s a reason they sell so damn poorly. If they disappear it’s not even such a big deal financially. Unless you have big money to blow there’s always something more valuable than an Alfa or Maserati. You’re basically paying for looks at this point
@@MarspeedCars exactly well said. It’s sad when the Ferrari era Maserati’s are worth more than the new junk. Alfa had huge missed opportunities to actually rival Benz and BMW but ended up having quality of Mazda’s with the price tag of mid entry Audi’s. It’s sad as they have heritage but not surprised they will seize to exist
If they want to become one big happy blended family then cool...I'm all for it. Just don't touch my Hellcats!
Concern over Mopar's big V-8's is on all our minds. I think American V-8's will become scarce very soon.
They will not touch dodge for the simple reason it is very profitable in the USA. though, American brands will stay only in America because they only sell in America.
SRT - DEAD
New Star Trek series Stellantis, that's what the logo is saying in my mind.
You mean Stargate?
Would have been better to just name the new company Chrysler. Platforn sharing was the prime reason that caused Plymouth, Pontiac, Mercury and Oldsmobile to be eliminated.
My next Dodge Charger is going to have the Stellantis Logo on the inner VIN Sticker. Noooo!!!!
90% of the most unreliable brands under 1 roof, shit just got more unreliable
And how many companies together still sell less then Toyota 😂😂😂😂 proper junk
Toyota?? Bahaha
It's too bad Chrysler lost its identity as a luxury brand. Remember the Imperial and Chrysler-Imperial?
Lots of car companies did that. You want a luxury vehicle? It's now a $90,000 F150, Ram or Silverado.
Side effects of Stellantis include high horsepower, excessive burnouts, gas guzzling V8s, loss of hearing from loud exhaust noise, and the sudden urge to put Hellcat badges on V6 Chargers and Challengers
Hey they’re making widebody t/as and shaker package challengers will you make a video covering this?
I want to see Peugeot return to the USA. Out of all the European line up in Stellantis, they build better vehicles but were highly misunderstood.
I completely agree, they actually tried twice during the last 20 years, including in 2018, and it was expected to see them again by 2025 in the USA, however since the merger it is very unlikely, they already have brands in the USA to sell car, implanting peugeot would be highly risked for little to no reward
What I expect to happen is Peugeot vehicles sold here as Chryslers. So we will kind of get their vehicles that are adapted and better suited for the North American market. Doesn’t really make sense at this point for them to try to enter on their own as they would just compete with Chrysler for sales and now that they own them I think Tavares would think along the lines of combining the two instead of competing against his own company brand internally
@@MarspeedCars FCA has already dipped into the French catalog with their workmaster line of vans, Citroen if I'm not mistaken. The charm of the Douvarin diesels, twin cam 405's, STI Turbo, 604... Very stylish and insanely comfortable. Peugeot has been turning out some innovative machinery that isn't weird, hyper appealing. Rather have Peugeot back than Alfa tbh.
@@MarspeedCars or maybe DS cars will be chryslers in america
Peugeot will not return with their logo or cars in the usa but you 'll have their chassis with very good handling and their good interior quality now. As a french guy i regret they don't return . It would be a competitor in the same group . it's a pity.
Make a dodge wagon please
#BringBackDodgeMagnum
Unfortunately, I doubt they will ever bring back the dodge magnum that's why I'm not getting rid of mine
Wagons don’t sell in North America.
@@CamaroAmx Subaru would like a word with you....
@@MaddJakd lol Subaru actually wouldn’t want a word with him because their last wagon was discontinued and replaced with a crossover 11 years ago because nobody bought the wagon.
You’re doing a great job!
Excellent video!
I just hope Chrysler and Lancia will be back.
Lancia will not die that's for sure
Yes
Chrysler will be back but it’s gonna need a lot of work. I’d bring a Peugeot SUV in next damn year and rebranded it as the Chrysler imperial or something. Stick a 4 cyl, pentastar, and 5.7 as your engine options, bam, Chrysler begins it’s revival. Then after 2023 a smaller newer gen 300 comes out and there’s more life
I doubt Lancia will ever come back, although I would love to have a revival of the Lancia Delta Integrale, like Stellantis did with the Renault 5 GT Turbo.
@@buddy1155 Renault's a different company
@@Lando-kx6so You are correct, don't know why I made mistake, I know it was.
At 18.i can't belive I'm going to outlive chrysler or even fca.
I outlived American Motors, Oldsmobile, Plymouth, Saturn, Pontiac, and Mercury
How will they get anything done with 65 members on the board squabbling about what's for lunch?
Might be a longshot but that Peugeot Landtrek is a pretty cool truck. It has old school but proven technology on a truck.
The end of the video 😂🤣😂
I had to lol
Chrysler's been gone since 1998.
This whole car industry buying and selling brands is quite the dead horse. I wish they would all remain single companies with no overlords
The merger of number 3 brands in America, France and Italy. Wonderful!
You get Opel which was responsible for AWD turbo regal in Buicks line up .
Yeah, but no. Buyout of the number 3 American and Italian brands by the #3 French brand.
As I recall, in the1972 book "Future Shock" by Alvin Toffler, he describe dying companies that are merging as "dinosaurs mating."
I like Chrysler as a name better, too😃
Yea better sounding than Lancia
THE THREE STOOGES SHOULD BE THEIR ,LOGO
I pray that this merger will bring a fruitful outcome in the United States & for our loved brands under FCA
I just hope that they keep their hands off dodge and allow them to continue pursuing v8 performance based cars.
The Hemi is already history. Replaced with a straight six turbo engine badged the Hurricane six. A name from Kaiser Jeep days.
''Wooooooo! Yeah baby, that's what I'm waiting for-" (i forgot the channel name)
Channel name is Most Crit1cal
@@tregaming07 thanks
good mabe they can stop the high end chargers from getting stolen so easy.
Hopefully the fca quality will be elevated
They need to improve the warranty , depreciation value and quality .. many see their vehicle as low value
Depreciation value won’t change unless they make their cars more reliable.
At least Jeep Wranglers are still holding their value
I could imagine an all new hybrid or electric sedan for Chrysler
Bring back the convertibles!
“I’m not sure it’s the brightest idea”
I see what you did there
Stellantis.. Sounds alot like Atlantis, and it's best known for not beeing around anymore..
They need to improve the build quality and reliability of the Italian brands like Alfa-Romeo.
Happy that Alfa is surviving :)
Hope Alfa now will also do something for the quality . They are amazing to drive but I think if they do something for the quality and infotainment systems they will sell more .
@@missouriresole4726 FCA still keep Lancia, with one model only Italy. PSA use AA and CarPlay
On thier RUclips page, they said the Chrysler nameplate was not going away.
Who is surprised the Maserati is poorly selling when they have one of the worst reliability ratings in the industry?
Ask your doctor if Stellantis is right for you.
John and Horace Dodge, and Andre Citroen are rolling in their graves rn.
So is Walter.
I love the electric vehicle idea but I see this as a problem later down the road. Specifically long driving such as trucking and long trips in vehicles? You can’t charge a vehicle that quick. Unlike gas you can be ready to go in 4 mins. Just a major problem “hassle” I see in the future.
Do "electrified" vehicles include plug-in hybrids?
Yes.
Let's hope they bring back Plymouth
Why would they? Its a dead brand, just like Pontiac, Mercury etc. They need to focus on keeping Chrysler and its 2.5 vehicles alive.
Im just glad all of these brands aren't dying
For now! Hope it stays that way and they can actually put in some good work to revive them
When you don’t cut the dead wood eventually the whole tree dies... taking a full strength dose of Stellantis won’t prevent it.
How shall the vehicles be priced considering the brands compete with each other more or less.
I mean fiat competes with opel
Hi
I have a question about the oxygen sensors for 3.5 charger.
I removed the material inside the catalytic is then i got bad idle and oxygen sensor errors,
what the best solution should be do?
I mean if you gutted your cats there’s gonna be oxygen sensor problems, maybe replace them with new cats or just take them off the car?
If i take the cats off should disconnect the ox sensors? To get back the idle stable
@@AbdurahmanAlmansori1 Should be able to buy o2 cheaters (for lack of a better name, I did that on a Ford) that replace the 02 sensor and give false readings to the computer, then remove cats OR go to high performance cats. Either option will get the engine running properly and shut off the CEL.
Why you messing with the emissions?
