Don't forget the CEO of Autonation is the former CEO of FCA, Mike Manley. He knows all of Stellantis plans for the next several years...
Definitely, dodge is done.
Oh yeah!!!! Make so much more Sense now
So true Stellantis is slowly leaving the U S
You can't kill something that is already dead
I dodged a bullet by not buying a dodge
Same here. I really considered having a Hellcat built for the Last Call. So glad I didn't go thru with it.
LOL take the D out of dodge
Car brought and paid for , no more bank note
I bought a new Dodge Charger at AutoNation in Phoenix. Great car.
Stellantis/Dodge,Chrysler, Jeep Ram seem like they're intentionally self destructing their American brands.
Bad management, it’s what people were saying about twitter, people were honestly convinced Elon bought it just to destroy it.
The French company that bought them has completely incompatible goals and values, and their CEO (Tavares) seems to be about about as tone-deaf as it gets.
7-11 announces that after you buy your 7th cup of coffee that you get a Dodge ram truck.
Not a US company anymore, foreign owned.
It's been foreign owned for the last 20 years or so. Challenger/Charger built off an older Mercedes platform.
The Demon 170 is going to mean lasting 170 days or the value $170.00.
Autonation is terrible. They had my car for four months before they fixed it and now has a vibration that they blame on the tires. F autonation, who wants them. They are an overpriced dealership and I am glad to see them go in Ft. Worth.
I agree they are the worst company to buy a car from always over priced and they low ball you on a trade and there is no negotiating with them...
Well if they had it for 4 months. It was probably sitting for awhile and caused flat spot in your tires.
That's odd, I've had good experiences with auto nation lexus of Tampa. Sometimes the dealer matters and sometimes the brand matters. What dealer were you referring to?
I've been saying for a while that I think Stellantis wants to kill off Chrysler and Dodge, and they'll do everything possible to sell off Ram and Jeep. They want nothing to do with American branded vehicles. Stellantis can kiss my ass! Keep the videos coming TK!
FYI: Jeep is the only thing of value to them,worldwide. 💯🤑💰🤔💥
“Get outta Dodge” is no longer just talk!
The Chrysler Corp I grew up with back in the day is no more. It died back when Daimler murdered it. And then Fiat and Stellantis finished off the carcass.
I can’t really see how Stellentis is going to survive in this country.
Seems like "Dodge" in a whole is the new "Budlight". Lol. Taking a massive hit!!
More like the new Mitsubishi
If auto nation pulls out it’s over with for dodge. Stellantis really killed off mopar.
Sadly and extremely ironically the gen3 hemi probably killed mopar. In the era of carbon credits building a 1960s tech engine that loses you money on every car built isn't viable no matter how much we wish it was. Also cam in block engines can't really compete when dual overhead stuff gets better every year, the power people are making on the stock bottom end coyotes and 4200 VORTECs is insane. Time goes on and those who can't or don't adapt usually don't do very well long term.
Just looked on website for Black Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram in North Carolina. They have a silver demon 170 for $123,000 sales price. It also says recent price drop since april 29, 2024 of $100,000. So i just calleddealer to buy this car for msrp. Sales manager says oh it nust be an error in the system. He said its $223,000. More dodge scams!!!!
...and lest we forget that Crazy Carl Tavares said that Alfa is the, "crown jewel" of Stellantis. Pretty obvious where their priorities lie.
I would start looking at Dodge Ram quality problems. If they turn out to be bad like Dodge challengers then the gig is up.
This is like a flushing toilet - subpar ‘23 cars still sitting on lots rotting and banks are afraid to loan against them, being replaced by subpar looking and performing new models, Hemi replaced by a 6-banger, going electric… why would any dealer want to try to peddle Stellantis now or going forward? No recourse - can’t keep building the old model, nothing good in the pipeline to replace it. Nothing will surprise me at this point.
1. I made the comment about 6 months ago that Dodge had 2 years to go. Stellantis is doing all the right stuff to ensure Dodges demise.
2. I've had my 23 HC since June of last year (23) and not really any issues. It was an early year, and received it just before the strikes. I may be one of the lucky ones.. we'll see, but 9000 miles so far and all is good.
I am sure there are dealer groups who will take a free CDJR franchise. Plus I am also sure there are a few and rare used only dealers that would welcome a franchise.
CDJR isn't gonna fold. But they for sure need to focus on that Wrangler / PT Cruiser / Neon / OG 300/Charger/Magnum / Cummins core of consumers that enabled them to be the 700+ HP manufacturer that they are today.
A $20,000 car that has manufacturing process issues is one thing. But dropping close to $100k and having build quality issues isn't earning repeat buyers.
CDJR isn't going to survive.
Dead god. What a sad day top salesmen at Jeep would see moving to $@&!ing MINI a move up lol.
I bought a low mile super clean fully loaded 21 daytona a year ago. I could have gotten a last call. I'm happy with my choice.
Only thing dodge had going was loyal v8 lovers. Every time I look at dodge interior it’s like I’m back in late 90’s. Where is the cd player?
they're cool cars but they didnt have that going either when you figure in how much money Chrysler continues to loose $ on them. They still pay fines on the 1st new challengers n chargers. Their plan was to sell enough darts n minivans to offset those cars, that plan failed. GM and Ford had much more viable plans to produce their pony cars and even then the Camaro just was pulled. The Mustang mach E never made sense to me until i thought about offset credits
Nobody offers a CD player anymore. Are you stuck in the 80's? LOL
Hear that spinning noise? It's Lee Iacocca spinning in his grave.
Our local Dodge dealer is part of Auto Nation and they have not gotten any new Dodges in 8 months. We have all 3 GM, Ford and Dodge and all lots are bare of anything new. They do have new 2023's very few but everything is used and hardley anything there at all except crazy nut prices.
Demon 170 warranty 170 seconds or 170 feet whichever comes first.
I used to be bummed that I was priced out of a last call model...but now, I'M GLAD I kept my 2018 Hellcat. All this drama with 2022-2023 is crazy.
Been trying to trade in a cayman for a challenger the past couple of weeks and it is like dodge is intentionally trying to not sell cars... All the dealerships seem to be the same.. I am a first time dodge buyer. And I guess I will just keep my Porsche 🤣
Nobody replace a Porsche with a Dodge...
They might trade you for a Hornet! lol 😂
Good morning @Tk's Garage on the re-watch for later today 🙏😇
Honestly, where I live, this is huge. Autonation has a ton of influence on vehicle pricing because they have so much access to inventory that other dealers really can't compete with. If the largest dealer network in America drops a brand, it will have affects that last for several years.
CDJR is going down in flames 😂😂😂😂
The Hornet is an absolute piece of garbage. Buddy and I were at a CDJR dealer looking at Gladiators. My buddy hadn't ever seen a Hornet in person, so we walked over to look at one. The salesperson that was trailing us admitted that the Hornets were "a piece of sh*t." His words, I sh*t you not.
It fine if it's a piece of sh*t........no problem at all. The problem is when they charge $40k for it.
Any automotive historians think CJDR is going the way of AMC in 1987 when it was purchased by Chrysler? AMC had Jeep which Chrysler kept. The AMC brands like Hornet, Pacer, and Gremlin all went bye, bye. Look at CJDR days of inventory on dealer lots. “Deja Vu all over again “
i bought 2023 Scat Pack Challenger last year I have 5K miles on it and have had no issues thus far. My concerns are that if Dodge goes under and we start having issues how will the factory warranty work? I paid 58k for a narrow body manual challenger, don't get me wrong I love the car and wanted one since 2015 but all that's going on with Stellantis and Dodge is starting to make me regret my purchase. They literally have ruined the experience for me. Don't know if it possible but I wish someone would buy Dodge from Stellantis because they are ruining the Dodge brand......
Yea it's bs what is happening. Got a 22 RT Charger, but if the warranty folds then I'm going mod happy.
Loud big bang everyone jumps
Kids scream : DADS HOME
😅😂 good ol married with children days
Al: let's push the dodge in
This is sad for the workers but good on the other hand the GREED and Hubris of Stellantis is gonna kill them. And oh yeah the CEO paypack is worth millions go figure. I say you ll see a dealer network reduction of 25-35% N/A wide within the next year.
Never heard of autoNation. All this sounds like a RUclips soap-opera. I think all auto companies are in trouble.
I was guessing it was going to be Autonation after your last video.
Just got a 2024 Ram. Last one with a V8 on the lot of over 150 others. All the others were "sixes", which six, straight or V, I did not care. I'm thinking this is my final Ram. Had seven others since 2004. Last one.
Elephant kept in American hands, it would’ve been fine
Shortsighted, IMO. Jeep and Ram trucks can still be very profitable. But stellantis just refuses to price things competitively, or they just don't understand the US market. Either way, losing a large dealer is not a good thing. Guess they took their Demon profits and running.
Like the Dodge EVs being slower than Teslas -is the main reason for Dodge’s plummet in desirability to the mainstream car and truck buyers in North America.What about replacing V8 Chargers,Challengers and Ram trucks with limp wristed EVs and high maintenance low life expectancy 6 cylinder versions that might get a few mpg s better on a good day.
If the dealers have a massive "no confidence" vote for Stellantis like this, then what should customers think?
I mean, there MAY actually be some customers out there who'd WANT to buy an EV Daytona, but if there isn't a viable dealer network to back them up, I'd figure that would have a significant detrimental effect on buyers' willingness to even come into the store to look.
The EV represents a paradigm shift away from ICE and has to be marketed as such if the company wants to stay solvent. I'm just not seeing ANY iota of marketing that's accomplishing this. If the dealer network collapses even before the first cars roll off the production line, who's going to buy them, and if even we tried, where would we get them and then get them serviced?
Automation seems to be shrinking, a few years ago the sold off Nissan dealerships, now the Stelantis group. What's left?
It begins!
Having owned a couple of Challengers as recently as 2018 and really enjoying them, I eventually moved on to other manufacturers (my net purchase will be a Porsche). It’s stunning how far and how fast the Dodge brand has fallen.
Should be simple to make a good Challenger/Charger the platform has been around it's just quality cutting instead of improvement.
Will keep my 17 Ram forever
Glad I bought a Dodge when Dodge was still Dodge. This newer crap is junk and it's showing
Was there a time when Dodge was not junk? I had two in the 90s, both junk.
🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦tk its like the dodge brand will be history. These are small steps before dodge becomes officially gone 😢good work tk. Keep it up
I think stellantis built surplus product to sustain them when the new redesigned product flops. But they went msrp crazy. Ran off buyers
Stellantis is screwing up by the numbers.
Except for eating its battery my '21 has been a good car; was going to swap it on a last call R/T that has been on the lot for a while, but after seeing all the latest stuff on these cars I guess I'll keep my "old" one ! RIP Mopar !
There is so much more to a vehicĺe than its track times. Tesla shoppers and Charger EV shoppers might not necessarily be the same. The new Charger is definitely the winner in the EV looks department and has a 2 door model the Tesla is lacking.
who shops at AN? crazy
I wanted a Demon 170. Was not going to pay over msrp......Second choice was a widebody hellcat.....now I am glad I did not buy a 23.....😐
Nobody wants that trash. Hell Jeep refuses to do legit warranty work on new ICE vehicles. Can’t imagine the electric junk
"Last call for Chargers and Challengers but we're still going to have a job, right?" "Not really we're moving everything to Mexico and Europe" exactly how do you think these cars were assembled?
Wow dodge is in big trouble! Hope they can turn it around
They know Andy sent the email lol
Which of the 21 though lol 🤣
@@TKsGarage true 😆
So what happens to Dodge if Auto nation pulls out?
Eat glue probably.
It joins Plymouth, DeSoto, Imperial, in the junkyard of history...
🙄🤣
Down the toilet. But they won’t notice . They’ve been going down it for so many years. They’re use to it.
They dead
Sorry, but i don't know why any of this matters because the Big 3 sells more pickup trucks than anything else they offer so who cares about cars? When has Dodge sold more cars than trucks, or Ford or GM. Not to mention it's the Big 3's highest profit margin vehicles. Why are we talking about cars, even electric cars. Everyone knows they' won't sell for 2 reasons......Infrastructure is not up to speed to support it....and people are hesitant and scared when they hear what battery replacement cost. Of course as a new product line for Stellantis they will have some problems like any other new offering.
I knew it was Autonation
Looks like i guessed right.
I believe Stellis will be fine. It’s Dodge that’s gonna be going away and I’m sure the Atlantis is OK with that. Which sucks for the US.
Voice text lol
Chyrsler goes out of business. Dodge finishes out with a final run of muscle cars and then goes out of business. GM buys out Jeep. Ford buys out Ram.
The dodge products are all old. How do you pay for a 10 year old car that keeps going up in price every year. Ram chyrsler too
Personally….since day one of the merger, I knew stellantis was going to 100% get rid of dodge and Chrysler. They will focus only on ram and Jeep. It was their plan all along
I'll never buy a Stellantis product. Overpriced foreign JUNK. And that's what they want the American brands to be... overpriced foreign JUNK. They're trying to ruin these once great brands intentionally I swear.
Atlantis is a lousy outfit. Anything they get they justly deserve. They have taken Chrysler Dodge, especially Jeep and really cheap ended up the product and priced it out for the average American.
This Breaking news AutoNation is leaving Dodge still Lantis And it’s Going to third dodge badly
You probably should have blocked out his first name, too. He might be the only andy who works over there. You might have just f'd him.
Actually I checked and he said there's 21 in the group
@@TKsGarage Twenty-one General Managers named Andrew, or 21 in all roles?
I agree. We don't need to know his first name.
Dumbos that scrambled and overpaid for 170’s like dopey racerx screwed, glued, and tattooed…😂
So sounds like we should start short selling Stellantis? Lol. Man that is a shame the Dodge products going down the toliet. The Hornet's pricing is outrageous for just a run of the mile SUV.... Dodge should have done a compact performance car for the Hornet imo.
Basic and some not so basic Teslas are faster than 99% of the Brotherhood of Muscle. Dodge is dead.
Really? You are a Tesla fan. Enjoy your EV while my hemi rumble brings a smile to my face every time I start it up.
Are you sick and tired of screwing around with a CJDR dealership (aka stealership) trying to purchase an $80K MSRP Ram truck with a $20K markup for $100K.
Stellantis presents Stellantis direct with you being able to buy a 2025 Ram truck for $60K. Bypass our stealerships and buy directly from Stellantis. Stellantis and the customer working together to drive dealers OUT of business.
Who cares about auto nation
