Meh. 

I don’t think Lancia needs a Stratos halo car to sell rebadged Chryslers.

Nuh uh, I saw one at a Bonhams auction!

A 25 unit run of a bagillion dollar car that will probably never even see the outside of a garage will not save the Blackwing.

“It reads as more of a rant or opinion piece.”

And must explain to everyone how he is right and they are wrong.

Lol of course you drive a 'Vette

Seriously...but at least we now know he has a “vette” and knows statistic words which was probably the whole point

for a big player in the automotive industry across 11 models that’s crazy low amounts.

I feel no sympathy for them. Jaguars are, and always have been, throwaway cars in my mind that appeal to old people who wanted to buy a Mercedes but fancied themselves as too edgy/unique to do that. Their target market is vague, their offerings are weak, their reputation is tarnished from decades of building awful and…

Neutral: GM has a lot of resources and a lot of really smart people working for them. In theory, they could really have a hit on their hands with this EV roll out.

Eh, I feel like British companies have been shooting themselves in the foot for so long that this really won’t change things. They’ll keep on sliding towards oblivion on their own terms anyway. I might feel bad if they were still making a fun machine like the Defender, but they aren’t.

It seems like GM is taking a wide approach to EV’s which should help normalize them. The big problem is that they appear to be going upmarket with most of them, so if you can’t get the Chevy models for a comparable price to an ICE vehicle, no one is going to buy them. 

If this is the finished product, it looks like crap.

This platform will underpin new cars from Pontiac AND Saturn!

So people want their Chrysler to look even less reliable than it already is?

Both world wars say hi.

Just remember the sad irony that about an hour after I said all that I was driving around in a car with no airbags.

CEOs are like college sports coaches. Once you’re in, you’re in. You don’t have to be good. In fact you can be awful. But get that first job and next thing you know your name pops up whenever there’s another opening even if you have no results, bad results, or your only good results were a fluke (you took over when…

Hot take: You don’t need the V6. Up here in the Rockies, people seem perfectly content puttering around in their even-more-gutless Crosstreks/Legacies/Imprezas, so this would definitely feel like an upgrade.
