1 MINUTE AGO: CHINA OFFICIALLY Bought JEEP, DODGE And RAM !

[@GaryChastain]

I have owned Dodge/Ram vehicles all my life (68 years old), I am so tired of over paid, non skilled CEO’s ruining companies. I will NOT buy a Chinese made Dodge/Ram/Jeep, period.

[@micholitzia5726]

Your two sentences contradict each other lol

[@Basketball4life99]

I understand your point about American made cars as they contribute to the American economy and create American jobs but given the quality of cars Dodge/Ram build these days, any takeover from any car manufacturer would result in better quality of cars, plus regardless of who will be the new owner, the cars will still likely be built in America. Even currently, Dodge/Ram is not American owned, they are owned by Stalantis, which is a European company.

[@charlesdriggers199]

[@charlesdriggers199]

@@Basketball4life99 And there is your problem. THEY ARE NOT AMERICAN OWNED. Stellantis will be defunct before long. And saying any buyout would be a good thing is stupid. Seems you have the business sense of a snail. China is not your friend, and has no business owning anything in this country. And don't give me the " They already have a market share in American companies already". And any issues that these brands have ? It has everything to do with the steerage of the parent Company. And all the talk about EV's. A tragedy waiting to happen. I am not against them . I am against the poor planning of them, and the push that somehow, they will save the planet. I am leaving out a lot with each point I am making so do not try and post to me this or that .

What did the pinheads at Stellantis expect-they sell poorly designed, unreliable and expensive crap. Carlos Tavares has to be one of the most incompetent CEO in auto history. I would like to see these iconic brands return to US ownership. Perhaps the biggest problem any buyer would have would be overcoming the reputation of poor quality & unreliability of these vehicles. Another problem what about all that inventory of overpriced vehicles that few if any consumers are interested in buying.

[@StevenTapper-xc4yn]

I don't see any momentum shift toward EVs. They are not practical and are overpriced. As a senior citizen living on social security and my IRA, I cannot afford to buy any new car or SUV for $40K +.

Stellantis has money troubles because their products have become money pits!

[@brianhickey5949]

I would point out that adapting to the electric vehicle market as you say here has cost automakers billions of dollars. The only electric car company making money is Tesla and that is all they do. I wouldn't be so quick to blame the slow adoption of electric vehicles for Stellantis' troubles when it is painfully obvious that they have lost the image that people look for when buying Jeep, Dodge, or Jeep. They are too much luxury and upscale interiors and they are too expensive. Example: who will pay $50K or more for a basic Jeep? They were meant to be rugged vehicles capable of going off-road, not luxury vehicles with $5,000 audio systems wrapped in leather. Just price a RAM pickup, a Dodge car, or a Jeep Grand Wagoneer and you will get a feel for why Stellantis is looking to unload these brands. God help those brands if the Chinese own them.

[@brentritchie6199]

The Chinese make more than electric. I own a Changan SUV. The best quality I've ever seen in every way. Far exceeds the US for half the price. This would allow Americans access to inexpensive high quality vehicles that the US government doesn't allow in the US.

[@charlesharmon4926]

Then move to China. When a nation outsources all its manufacturing capacity and can’t produce its own energy and food then it will collapse.

[@BBBILLY86]

Same as powersports. Chinese bikes, quads, side by sides by CFMoto, are half the price of traditional big names and include a lot of options. The big names chare thousands as upcharges.

[@mightymikee]

Yes. The real issue is that Americans are increasingly relying on China, or put another way, we are becoming addicted to China. It is cheap now. Bet ya they will keep increaseling price but keep us hooked. Sad thing is we will no longer even be close to competing with China. Sad we are fighting amongst us over who is going to be our president while the rest of the world is zipping us right by. The real adversary is not your fellow American with different political views, they are the ones selling you cheap shiz that get you hooked like drugs. We are already quite doomed. Americans lack of patriotism and their work ethics have turned for the worst. No one wants to work. We are in serious problem. Hope we all as individual Americans realize that and need to change and we need change at an individual level first. What have we done today to make our country better?

With huge tariffs as a real possibility for imports, can you imagine how much a new Wrangler will cost? We'll think that Stellantis' prices were good and they can't make a profit with their already ridicules pricing. China would need to purchase CJD at a huge discount to make any profit at all. I'm sure China will want to keep the production lines in the states to muddy up the lines. Should be interesting if this actually happens.

On it's front hood it said the it was built by the Dodge Brothers. How stupid can Stellantis be? Their Sales are Down for two reason, they raised their MSRPrices over 50% over the last 3 or 4 years and they're doing away with V8 motors. Lower your prices, STOP gouging your customers by charging them for paint color (every color is a $500 up grade except White). Nobody wants Electric cars and trucks, they don't make any sense when their's rolling brown outs during the summer or during power outages. Any mechanic will tell how turbo powered engine don't last as long as naturally asprirated (on-turbo'ed) engines. Lower the MSRP and simplify your vehicles by using naturally asprirated engines.
