The full size sedan market is a fraction of what it was 20-30 years ago. The Passat is considered a midsize sedan. The Camry is Toyota’s bread and butter which is one of the best selling cars in America. So why is it good Dodge is chasing a shrinking market. I am honestly surprised Toyota bothered with a new…

https://www.consumerreports.org/suvs/best-and-worst-suvs-in-consumer-reports-road-tests/ Consumer Reports hates any SUV that uses a truck chassis. Highlander beat out the Wrangler for example. If I was looking at a full size domestic SUV I would be looking at a Tahoe which comes standard with a V8 while with the…

The Dart was like a worse built Jetta with the same kind of price premium. The engine choices were confusing to consumers which did not help. How hard is it to have an economy engine, midlevel engine, and performance engine like what every one else does.

They might as well throw a RAM or Jeep badge on the Pacifica and then Chrysler would have no reason to exist either. I still think Fiat is going to kill Dodge off at this point. It is not a good sign with an aging line-up with declining sales.

Look at the resale value of an Accord and Civic and compare it with the Dart and Avenger. The full size domestic sedan market has been dying for years in America and Chysler has a monopoly on it because Ford and GM saw the writing on the wall and invested into vehicles that sell volume.

There is nothing really wrong with the Charger and 300C. They serve a niche market which has been shrinking since the 70's. My problem with Dodge is that vehicles like the Dart and Avenger flopped and the Journey is the worst vehicle in its class. Dodge could easily offer a sub compact, compact, and midsize…

Dodge needs to offer cars that the average person can afford. $30k-$50k V8 muscle cars and niche SUV’s with a dying line-up is why there market share is nothing.

And that is its market share is so small compared to the Japanese and the Koreans. Outside of niche muscle cars which Ford and GM also have they have nothing compelling bringing people into showrooms.

Outside of some of the V8 models of Challenger and Charger and the Wrangler, Chrysler’s resale values are atrocious. Any big discount you get up front is just translates into heavy depreciation. I guess if you own the car for 20 years and run into ground it probably would not matter but for the Average American that…

Vehicles like the Civic, Rav-4, Camry etc. are the top selling vehicles in America. The first gas crisis in the 70's pretty much killed off the idea that mainstream Americans wanted full-size RWD sedans with V8's and over time models were discontinued and now we are left with the Charger that is some what subsidized…

I have always seen Dodge as a third rate brand compared to Chevy and Ford especially since the Recession. The Challenger and Charger are niche cars for a shrinking demographic. Dodge failed to offer a competitive economy and midsize car while Ford and Chevy have managed to do that. Dodge has failed to offer a…

Reagan’s presidency ended in recession from his banking deregulation. His car quota BS just made cars more expensive and was designed to protect GM and Chrysler and they went bankrupt anyways so it was a huge waste of time.

First automation has completely changed manufacturing in the develop world were you do not need as many workers as you did 50 years ago. Second we have tried tariffs in the past and they always backfire. If the US education system actually trained its students for the workforce then we would not be having these…

There are many 100-400 mile city pairs in America that would work for intercity passenger rail if we remove zoning related to density and stop building greenfield suburban sprawl. Chicago-Cincinatti, Atlanta-Charlotte, Jacksonville-Orlando-Tampa for example all fall under that 400 mile threshold. Above 400 miles…

Audi on all there midsize and larger cars are longitudinal engined and that is why they look like proper luxury cars. I just dislike the short hood on a traverse engined large car even though designers try to hide it. If I was looking at domestic luxury cars the CTS and CT6 look more like proper luxury cars than the…

Should have made a proper RWD platform like Hyundai has done. No one wants a transverse engined flagship sedan.

Should have been RWD like the Genesis. If Hyundai spent the money to do it right Ford should have done it also. Also sedan sales are down because of crossovers, trucks, and SUVs.

The R32, R33, R34 GTR’s were high tech cars when they were new and had the best technology Nissan could put in them. Back then manuals were superior to automatics so that is why those cars were manual. They were not really light weight or traditional purest cars. The R35 had the best technology put in it of the…

I would be fine with this. An Inline 6 engine is always smooth and adding the hybrid would be great for around a town.

I am interested to see what happens to R35 GTR values in America once the R34 GTR is legal to import but once again it seems like the R35's are not seeing heavy depreciation with the R32 GTR’s being legal now.
