Renegade is stealing Cherokee sales, I think.

 

But also, I think lots of fleet Chargers, too. Cop cars, rentals and exec cars.

Ford is giving up on Taurus, but then will sell more Explorers to make up.

 

I'm thinking a lot of Jeep's drop can be attributed to fleet sales.

This is the second month of zero sales. The seven yearly sales came from two months ago.

 

But hey! Alfa is BACKKKK!!

 

They still sold 1 Avenger. I wonder if there are any more left in dealer inventory.

 

Yeah, I don't know how they still have those around. At this rate, it'll still be sold past the Dart's demise haha.

"As soon as they bring out the fill line of Dodge RWD cars based on the Gulia, they will be king of the world!!" "They will import them to AUS and NZ and make tons of money!"

 

allpar fanatic-guy ^

 

It like in the 90s and 00s when GM apologists were going "just wait!" But had to wait for bankruptcy to get themselves going.

 

FCA will go down again, and will not get another bailout, then no more Dodge/Chrysler.

Fiat/Alfa/Jeep/Ram will get bought by India or China.
