Ah, yes, that would be a different animal. I forget that some people consume their ‘content’ on their phones. My eyes won’t let me do that without generating a massive headache. I use a computer or a 10" tablet at the very least.

Personally if I were to do this move (which I’ve thought about doing more than once) I’d get a CT5-V. Every time I see one on the road I stare at it, they’re really good looking cars.

I am fine with flood cars being sold, less so salt water flood cars, but title cleaning should 100% be illegal.

every chrysler exec that allowed this to happen should have been executed

The only road you’re Blazing now is the shopping Mall

They massacred my boy.

Why is Jalopnik Quoting Consumers Reports???

The Hornet is just a rebadged Tonale, but the Tonale is essentially just a reworked Jeep Compass. Failures all the way down.

How is it possible Land Rover didn’t make this list?  Did they break down on the way?

Right.

Other than the thousands and thousands of jobs involved, I don’t really understand the desire to save old brands. Like, yeah, Chrysler made some cool cars once. But it’s been on life support for decades and maybe it’s time to just let it die.

“Chrysler, Dodge and Plymouth won’t come cheap, when the automaker was originally purchased by Fiat back in 2014 the price sat at a cool $4.9 billion.”

I’ll flash my lights at people thinking for sure their high beams are on. Nope.

My old truck has chrome bumpers and tow hooks from the factory...On board with most of your list but factory equipment probably needs exceptions.

One of the few occasions where I think this should be a 1 strike you’re out rule. Get caught doing it, get your vehicle impounded. Then you have to pay impound to have it serviced to be put back to factory specs before you get it back.

“Forward gears use helical cut gears, which automakers prefer to use in manual gearboxes because they’re smoother and can withstand more force.”

I’ll take a random shot in the dark at a completely unlikely candidate and say Honda.

Also, assuming there’s a Stellantis garage sale coming up, who buys Jeep and Ram? Mercedes? VAG? A Chinese conglomerate?

Yeah, thats what confuses me, if the North American group is making all the money and supporting the European groups...maybe you shouldnt be in Europe all the time...or maybe you should have someone brought up in the NA market running the show, since that market is where all the money is. 

I once had a gf who owned a Yugo. One thing I’ll never forget: her car was equipped with A/C, but she couldn’t use it on hot days because the engine would overheat from the added load. It was as if the manufacturers didn’t understand what air conditioning is for.
