Another interesting tidbit that most Jalops I’m sure are well-aware of, but maybe not some!

It’s like Chrysler sat down five years ago and said, “I bet we’ll have this whole climate-change thing figured out in five years, and we can stop worrying about fuel economy and go back to building cars with engines that have cubic-inch displacements that double as bad credit scores.”
