Hey, Lancia has been doing great selling nothing more than a single model in a single market (Italy) for over a decade, because no one has the courage to pull the plug on one of the most significant car marques in history, or otherwise to invest a penny in it.

attempting to procrastinate successfully.

Perhaps they’re betting on fuel economy, pollution and safety legislation going away, so they can dig out some tooling from the back of the warehouse and go retro?

Knowing Chrysler, they will venture deep into the mines of the Stellantis family and pull out some nondescript, run of the mill small CUV because that’s what everyone wants, right?

Stellantis, We’ve Given Up.  Fuck you!

as an anti-suv-er, I remembered when that concept came out and actually liking it. I think it could be successful as a hybrid, just put the Hurricane 6 in it. Freakin CEOs man, it’s better to destroy a company in this day and age I guess.

How do such tiny slits for headlights produce sufficient up and down lighting for the road?  Seems almost too narrow to produce a decent field of lighted vision....

They could bring the Brazilian market Jeep commander over as the Aspen. Is a compact 7 seater SUV and actually pretty fancy. A bit fancier than an Outlander, a bit less fancy than a GLB or Discovery Sport. Good competitor to the Sorrento.

I’m sure they will rebrand their minivan a Dodge and just fold Chrysler.

$8 for a frozen pizza?!?!?!?!??!?!

I kinda like that car, however I’m trying real hard to find who might be interested in a super expensive, humongous EV coupe cosplaying as a V8 muscle car. Seems like the target demographic might be a bit on the rare side.

It won’t be 3 years, it’ll be 1-2 year given how steep the EV depreciation curve is.

Yep, take away the Murica / Trump / Hemi that made these things appealing to a certain demographic and watch the sales evaporate.

I can’t wait to get one in 3 years for $40K...But in that space I would be a fool to not also consider a used Taycan or Lucid.

I think an even bigger problem than the price is the looks. The car just looks unfinished and I find it to be unattractive.

They cancelled the top two RWD selling sports cars, put this in its place with an absurd price tag and now they have to discount it nearly 25% just to get people to look at it.  Definitely an own goal.

This car feels like such an own goal. 

Uh....I have a solution — maybe don’t start them at $85K?

There are so many used EVs on the market with under 10k miles. It’s painfully obvious these were owned by first-time EV drivers who were expecting a different experience and can’t deal with the challenges of charging if you don’t have a level 2 charger in your garage.

Is it possible that Stellantis will ever get back into the business of making cars that people actually want to buy?
