$4,500 for the automatic transmission upgrade is ridiculous in this day and age.

They heard what we want but forgot that we also care about price and quality

A $4500 upcharge to avoid a notoriously problematic manual transmission (clutch) is ludicrous.

If Stellantis listened to their customers why the fuck would their customers be abandoning them?  Just more corporate speak from executives that aren’t fit to run a lemonade stand.

The “i want to spend 3 days in literally nowhere” is covered by tents and a single ocean liner. Everyone else visits London w a day trip to Stonehenge or something. I’m sure every nation has a destination like that. So don’t have a restriction on your choices.

Is this a repeat from 2019 2014 2009 2004 1999 1994 1989 ......

With a kerosene engine, better known as Jet-A, it won’t be any quieter than your turboprop.  In fact, likely a very similar engine. 

Yes, the “market adjustment” on the sticker is now seemingly part of every transaction.

It’s nearly impossible to keep a secret once more than a handful of people are involved.

She then posted a video from another neighbor that was a fucking airline on final into the nearest large international airport about 20 miles away. Not to mention we live right near a busy regional airport too. Some
