630land Posted December 1, 2016 Share Posted December 1, 2016 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rmc523 Posted December 1, 2016 Share Posted December 1, 2016 Even for Cherokee? Why not? They sell plenty of them to fleets too if the rental lots are any indication. I mean, it's not going to be the full explanation, but it's certainly a factor, IMO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

630land Posted December 2, 2016 Share Posted December 2, 2016 (edited) "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.

630land Posted December 2, 2016 Share Posted December 2, 2016 Fiat still stands for 'fix it again Tony'. The 'savior' Alfa Gulia, is still not for sale, where is it? The Stelvio? Still on the turn table for shows, "coming soon". When? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
