6 Vehicles That Will SAVE STELLANTIS from Disaster!

[@rosswallace2969]

If dodge is gonna survive they need to offer what they’ve always been about cheap speed. Neon srt4 $19k, dodge stealth r/t $26k, scat pack at $38k. They’re smoking crack thinking they’re gonna charge 40k for a hornet or 60k for a charger and move em.

[@brokeboy87]

Unless you're Toyota, you get away with charging 40k for a PHEV. But Toyota earned that right for the Rav-4

[@CertifiedHeel]

This isn’t 2016 lol cars will probably never be that cheap again.

[@rosswallace2969]

@ disagree, could easily do a 350hp coupe for $32k, 350hp awd sedan for $35k, or a near 500hp car for sub $50k.

[@pauldunbar2186]

Dodge and Plymouth always gave the working guy the ability to customize their vehicle. Power everything with automatic transmission, or basic no power anything and a standard transmission. They really need to get back to the basics for the working people. And that's what we want.

[@louisbabycos106]

My first totally on my own brand new car was a Brighton edition Subaru Impreza 5 speed manual AWD . Very little horsepower but perfect for Colorado and actually fun and engaging. She was slightly north of $13K.

I'll go further, Barracuda for 2.0t-5.7 power and $45k for top models based on the departed Challenger and the upcoming Charger from 3.6, H-6, 392 to Hellcat and EV models ($$$ how much you wanna pay?).. 2 slightly different vehicles and enough variations for all customers..

[@wojciechkozerski7084]

Unpopular opinion: even bringing V8 back won't make people buy the cars, because Dodge out priced itself from the normal folk that could have afforded a fun car, same with Wrangler, they are going beyond the reach of middle class, and people are deciding to stick with more practical more "quality" cars from other brands, as they all see dodge and Stellantis products as " cheap transportation" and people don't want to pay premium prices for cars they don't see as "premium". Nissan is in same situation now, it was a brand that was cheap to get into, but now if cheap brands are asking prices similar to more prestigious brands, why should they buy an inferior product. biggest example is all the outgoing models of charger/challenger sitting on lots with V8s , people don't want to buy them at current prices and cant afford them, but if they were priced as they were in 2015-2020, all stock would of been sold by now.

true true, id love for them to have a mix of both. have a lineup of a bunch of basic cars (sedans, coupes, suvs of various sizes (includes crossovers and compacts), trucks (fold ram back into dodge), vans, van based pickup trucks (like the old vw bus pickup version, or if u look up van pickup truck on google and look at the images), minivans, wagons, utes, etc), some mid tier cars (pony cars, sports cars, GTs, etc), and some top tier cars (muscle cars, supercars, hypercars (maybe), etc). obviously more basic cars than the rest but a majority of the focus being on the mid and upper tier cars.

[@heembuck2157]

I want the dodge magnum to come back. They need to redesign their v8’s as well. Hemi’s while reliable are old, heavy and unmodifiable

[@theunknownone5990]

The first thing they should do is immediately discontinue the Hurricane engine and STLA platform, because both have been failures that will never make back their development costs. Focus on fixing Ram first, since that's the easiest one. Bring back the old engine options, and trim the fat (1500 doesn't need 13 trims). Then do something similar for Jeep. A base Wrangler should cost $25,000 or less. Then use the money from those to revive Dodge. Sell evolved versions of the LX Challenger and Charger (STLA Charger has no future). Bring back the Barracuda and Roadrunner as smaller corner-hugging counterparts to those with turbo hemi options. Finally, make bespoke luxury cars for Chrysler with actual names, like Cordoba and Imperial.

[@MisterOldSkoolRyder]

Do a retro styled version of the Dodge Dart Sport from 1970-1974. Dodge and Plymouth used to have the A, B, C, and E body cars. The A-Body cars should be a Dart, and Neon. The B-Body cars should be slightly larger with the Charger, Roadrunner, SuperBee nameplates, C-Body cars should be the largest bodied cars with the Polara, Monaco, Fury nameplates in both 2 and 4 doors, and a station wagon for Police and families with performance. And finally the E-Body cars should be a Challenger and Barracuda with the Cuda as the SRT version for Plymouth!!!!

[@JPSquare272]

Imagine a new Dodge Magnum with a HEMI Hellcat, AWD, perfect for fighting the BMW M5 Touring.

[@PassportBrosBusinessClass]

Every single last product that you mentioned is a performance/niche/enthusiast product. That’s not enough to keep a company alive. They’ve raised prices on regular consumer vehicles so high that many people have left and gone to the Japanese/Korean manufacturers. Not to mention, STELLANTIS has shitty consumer service at this point. They strained relations with everyone and now it’s time for them to go. The charger, EV and Jeep Wagoneer S launch is a disaster. You’re not getting any deliveries this year. You can’t even get a test drive video yet. They’re probably a lot further behind than they’re letting on. All of those hopes about them bringing back the V8 and the hellcat engines aren’t going to change the fact that insurance companies are charging a fortune for them and you’ll still be on the “most stolen” list.

[@Ma1i6177]

I gotta agree, it’s wishful thinking. Stellantis has done so may things wrong over the years, like not allowing people to fix their own cars along with all of the other things you mentioned. It might be too little, too late at this point, but I would like to see the grandson of the founder of Chrysler buy back the company and finally put some love and dedication into their cars.

[@jamaalstrength1894]

I heard there was a rumor that the Plymouth Cuda might return…

[@theunknownone5990]

They were looking at bringing it back as a Dodge a few years back. It was supposedly going to be a smaller coupe/convertible that used the Giulia's platform.

[@MickPsyphon]

Butter, you pretty much mirrored my thoughts. Especially about Chrysler. Stellantis really missed the mark on that one, but it was many due to the arrogance of Tavares and the Board of Directors. They wouldn't consider putting an American brand ahead of a European brand, when challenging Mercedes & BMW.

I believe they are bringing back the Dodge Stealth... as a three row SUV. They need volume models. I would say a small sedan (i.e. Dodge Neon). A small SUV that is bigger than the Hornet or Compass but smaller than a Durango (Dodge Dart?). Hellcat should be it's own brand like SRT was.

Why can't Dodge keep the old MB S platform that made the 300, Charger, Challenger, Magnum? But cancel those bodies for Cuda, reuse the 2012 charger headlights and 1969 inspired Coronet super Bee nose on the base middle 300 (glass, & doors) and flat tail inspired 1968-69 Coronet. Plus Coronet wagon high roof. Not the magnum roof. Bring back lift top glass and flip down tail gate. Plus Coronet 2dr UTE- pickup. For Chrysler keep 300 center & new nose tail for Newport (1956 inspired nose with 2003 mini cooper like head lights, 56 newport tail inspired. ), New Yorker (1965-66 inspired nose & side body, using 2016 Ram classic headlight assembly & 1965 Newport tail light assembly inspired) & long wheel base Imperial (1973 Imperial nose and tail inspired). 3.6L with Hybrid electric motor to FWD. Since 300 offered AWD 3.6L. Instead of turbo assist, electric motor would be that instant power and boost. EV mode 16-30 miles (depending conditions) for small battery & capacitor pack.

[@jovaniortiz8317]

I think they should make a new wrangler already. Maybe something with square headlights. Models with independent suspension and models with live axles.

[@ptcoronet]

Stellantis just needs to take a platform & put bodies on it that is special for Fiat, Chrysler, Dodge, Citroen and Renault. Why not bring back Fiat X-1/9 by installing 1L - 1.3L FWD engine & trans in the back for RWD and nose being a trunk / battery pack? With FWD mild hybrid & EV mode. Dodge Slingshot.

[@MartinRutledge-vp9vp]

Bring the Chrysler Imperial with sucide doors v-8 hemi two tone option, wouldn’t be able to build enough of these

[@abenton3284]

The viper should not be mid engine but that is just my honest opinion. Also the Avenger was an amazing car my dad had one for 10 years and it was awesome. I think bringing an avenger back would be awesome. Or maybe a combination of the neon and avenger

[@reidhulshof3645]

If jeep wants to survive they need to drop prices by at least 25%, and give us a 5.7 wrangler. Most people don’t need a 392 wrangler and in jeep circles where hemi swaps are popular, the main reason people cite for 392 swaps is just that it’s cooler. A 5.7 wrangler and gladiator would be perfect for the people who want more power than the Pentastar but don’t wanna shell out the extra money for a 392

[@briansimpson3764]

Bring back dodge magnum trim line awd 🙌

[@MADLUV4M6]

I would recommend the following. Realistic List -I totally agree with a Cuda (slightly restyled and shortened wheelbase Charger) that could compete with a Mustang. The Cuda must have a V8 engine and a manual transmission option. -Chargers (2 door & 4 door) with V8 engines and a manual transmission options which would make this car the only true muscle car available Wish List -SRT4 (no Neon nameplate) to compete against the Civic, Civic Si, and Civic Type R -Dodge Stealth with a hurricane engine and a manual transmission option to compete against the Supra, Nissan Z, BMW 2 Series -Dodge Viper with all V8 engines and manual transmission options. The styling could be based upon the final Viper model mixed with the Ferrari 599 GTB (front engine & rear wheel drive) for an exotic look. The pricing must still be competitive with the C8 Corvette. -Chrysler 200 series with manual transmission options to compete against the BMW 3 Series, Mercedes C Class, and Audi A4 -Chrysler 300 series to complete against the BMW 5 Series, Mercedes C Class, and Audi A6

[@fadedsoul23]

v8 viper? no thanks at least call it something else because i like that idea but not as a viper. take a hemi and slap two more cylinders on it and make a longer and bigger blower to fit in the valley

[@richardclark5148]

If you want to save the brand. Bring the mid engine concept sport car back. Just before the release of the viper Dodge had a mid engine super car based on the v-10 and mazaradi If Dodge would have pursued that concept Corvette would have never caught up And the rest of the world would have been blown away. But we got the viper. A big front end heavy monstrosity on the track 😮

[@22BETTERTHANYOU]

They should not bring back anything Hellcat. They need to let that era be what it was… However, they need to start making smaller displacement, turbo V8’s, 6’s, or 4-bangers. If I was the CEO, I’d revive the Viper in a mid engine twin turbo 6.2L (hellcat) configuration, hemi Cuda in a 5.7 twin turbo, Stealth in a V6 twin turbo and the SRT-4 in a four cylinder Twin turbo as the new lineup moving forward. This will dominate the U.S. performance market at all levels and get butt’s back in the seats! Also, they can flex fuel these vehicles allowing owners to choose what ever fuel they want. This brings much needed diversity at all price points while appeasing the “Last Call” and everyday Hellcat owners by keeping their investments relevant. Yes, I have a business degree and yes I’m immediately available for hire @Stellantis @Dodge

[@StockCarGuy]

Americans dont like small turbo engines, also those smaller turbo engines will cost most which jacks up the price. Bigger n/a displacement sells in american cars. The viper is already mid engine and they should keep that body style, besides the viper is based off the ac cobra so putting the engine behind the driver wouldn’t make sense. The only 4 cylinder turbo car id bring is the neon. Also small turbo engines aren’t ideal for straight line drag racing which is what mopar cars are made for. Too expensive, too complicated ( look at the hurricane 6 ), and damn near impossible to maintain long term. American brands dont survive without large V8. Let the Europeans stick to small turbo cars.

[@Alan-tr5uj]

Americans LOVE small turbo engines. The F150 is the best selling vehicle in America, and the engine optioned almost 3 to 1 over Ford’s fabulous V8 option is the 3.5 Ecoboost. Americans have no problem with turbo engines. In the case of the F150, customers pick the engine that makes the most usable power and does “truck” things the best I.e. towing. They’re even paying a premium for the 3.5. The folks with a problem with any engine other than a V8 seem to be the recent (2015-present) “Mopar” enthusiasts. Hell many of us long time Mopar enthusiasts fondly recall the turbo-Mopar era; all those Turbo 2.2 & 2.5 cars that would easily lay waste to the F-Body’s & Mustangs of the era that were everywhere like dog shit in the yard. Chevy 305, lol what a joke that thing was!! 😆

[@StockCarGuy]

@@Alan-tr5ujbest selling cause they keep breaking😂. Why use a reliable engine when you can just get a new one every few years. Ford has millions of recalls on the ecoboost engine Also nobody talks about mopar i6 era. They talk about the gen 2 hellephant 426 hemi, 440 magnum, 426 max wedge, 340, 383, 400etc. Those engines dominated the race track and streets. Nobody asked for a twin turbo i6 charger. If everyone “loves” small turbo engines, then these new dodge cars would be selling but they’re not.

[@ljmorris6496]

​@StockCarGuy They also dominated the mechanics garages and gas stations in the '70s also with the Japanese eating sales. Only the Dart, Valiant, Aspen etc somewhat save Chrysler in the '70s and the K-car in the '80s with small engines. I agree v8s should be available but it's not "end all be all" either...

[@johnnymason2460]

I already proposed three turbo Hemi V8 engines: a 350hp 4.7 liter turbo V8, a 425hp 5.2 liter turbo V8, and a 575-580hp 5.9 liter turbo V8. This makes sense for Dodge.

[@ukprince4544]

Cuda has a retro modern design like Ford’s rumored boss 492 that’s the only thing not to make me get a blue one like Tommy from POWER 😂

[@speed284504]

Im gonna have to disagree with you on the viper and I'll cite your point about the trx vs the rho. What made these vehicles special wasn't just the chassis or the name plate, but the experience of what happened when you floored the throttle. A viper just isn't a viper without the symphony of all 10 cylinders trying to annihilate whatever may be connected to them. I can get behind the idea of a mid engine viper because you can only turn tires into smoke by adding more horsepower at this point, but getting the styling right is gonna be a real challenge since the other characteristic of the viper was that miles long hood housing the engine.

[@pedee15]

I think Stellantis should hire you man! They are freaking clueless. Butter for CEO. You got my vote. Your slogan.... "Bring Common Sence Back!"

[@johnnymason2460]

First, the Viper was never a mid-engined car. It's a front-engined RWD sports car. Second, the Barracuda should never be a Dodge or a Chrysler. It should always be a Plymouth(a brand that should be brought back to be the entry level brand). The Hellcat isn't coming back. It's time is done.

[@stevenbean9706]

[@meatball6930]

This couldn’t have been done any better Butter. I agree totally and i do own a TRX,Durango Hellcat,Daytona Hellcat. They need to put the redeye in the TRX and name it RAM-R to remind the Raptor-R who’s ur daddy. Like seriously make the 300 a Hellcat and a Hellcat wagoneer to kill that Escalade V is perfect. Yes the TrackHawk needs to come back. I would trade my TRX up to a Redeye TRX and I’m thinking about trading in Durango Hellcat for a newer one like a 24 or 25 before the end of month. This needed a redeye too. If Dodge wants to get this all started is to stick hellcats and redeyes in things and 100% make the CUDA and create the Ghoul once and for all-maybe make that viper you are talking about but name it the Ghoul even tho Ghoul sounds more like a crazy muscle car and make it with a supercharger and turbos. -that would be a GHOUL. Dodge it’s easy to get your pissed off customers back before we commit to something else. It’s like a break up with a chick -once a certain time passes you just feel like you wasted your time in the first place and start to think you never really liked her in first place. So get on it quick-Trump doesn’t care and have him get rid of that new law that kicks in in 2026 that makes our cars spy machines and able to be controlled by govt and 3rd parties. And while we are at it get Trump to get rid of the DEF crap and make a twin turbo diesel in the TRX body style. Or the original TRX concept body style-I’d buy that too for work. C’mon Dodge this is easy now let’s get going-give us what we want and listen to us we know what people want and people are about to get stuck in long car payments and not buy your vehicles if you don’t start a]making announcements-timing is everything and you don’t want ppl stuck in 6yr loans with some other brand plus i need to know for me and my family-friends. Corvette did piss me off with that weak bug looking ZR1-I’d rather have a C7 ZR1 -looks way meaner. it should look mean-get back here and make mean cars. LFG! Hire some huge KZbinrs that build crazy cars and don’t get rid of all superchargers and only have turbos-mix it up. Anyway it’s important to make these cars so we can buy toys for them-that’s what made Dodge cool is all the accessories and easy mods to play with our cars like a video game.

These patents are just to protect the IPs. It's not to mean they are going to use them for any vehicle. It could even be a trim for a vehicle. Don't let this distract you from the fact that regardless of the name it heritage, if it's too expensive then it'll alienate it's revival. At this point, if there is a Chrysler Doodoofart that is sub 20k it'll probably save them and bring customers in. I'm probably the most forward looking Stellantis person in existence, and i absolutely love the new Charger. I think this is top 5 designs from the company, but the car easily clocks in around 65-70k. That's not the problem, the problem is that they are struggling and their only car is priced for the upper 30% of consumers.

[@ptcoronet]

Track to dealership sales. Dodge needs to put Hornet on the EVO stadium track. Run against older Mitsubishi EVO, Subaru, Ford, & VW. Take the Hornet hybrid gt platform and add 20" overhang for a trunk. Remove turbo engine for 2.0L & 2.4L motors. Combined with 60hp, 80hp, 100hp, 121hp rear electric RWD. PLUS EV mode. Plus 2 sizes battery packs easy to remove & swap. There needs to be a family affordable family car.

they are actually racing the hornet in nitrocross i believe but its full ev iirc. i wouldnt mind that coming to market as a street legal version thats a souped up hybrid instead. maybe take the R/T hornets hybrid and rebuild it for a combined like 600hp or so. give it some rally suspension and offroad tires, as well as some similar aero to the race model, and boom there u go

Going with the old engines as they were doesn’t make sense, the competition has catched up, the Raptor R now beats the TRX in all metrics. But an upgraded HEMI and Pentastar lineups could be enough to keep the money coming fast and cheap. The Pentastar can reach 320-330Hp while returning 1-2 better MPGs just by adding direct injection, the HEMI’s need more work, but getting the 5.7L to 420Hp and the 6.4L to 500Hp while improving their numbers by a couple MPGs too isn’t impossible. The Hellcat V8 doesn’t need more power since it can make over 1000Hp easily, but making it lighter, more reliable and efficient is always a good thing. They need to improve their base engines since most Grand Cherokee, Wrangler, Pacifica, 300, Charger, Durango and Ram 1500 sales have the 3.6L V6 under the hood and some have the 5.7L HEMI, with those two making 95% of the sales.

They have lost the trust of the passionate customers, even some half assed hemi models won’t save them . Plus if they have shut down the hellcat production line turning it back on and calibrating all the robots and cnc machines setting up will mean a whole new set to tolerance issues leading to new problems like a new model year car on its first year of production. It would take them another 2-3 years to fix those issues.

[@Desert_Rogue_Tanker]

A hellcat powered mid engine Tomahawk sounds like a winner to me

[@bryancruz7519]

Butter for Stellantis CEO! 🔥

[@FecalMattur]

I hate that I actually kinda like the idea with the MC20 -> Viper.. but I do love both, and it could kinda make sense to save quite a bit of money from building it from scratch. Gotta have a V10 though.

[@JamesTheCarGuy]

If they brought back the Neon SRT4 to compete with Honda !! I might actually buy in

[@fadedsoul23]

id love to see an srt-5 too, turbo i5s are amazing! have an NA i5 as the base/mid trim engine

[@JamesTheCarGuy]

@ 4s are more likely to happen because of simplistic engineering Either way having an affordable fun car to compete with the Japanese market would be great

[@fadedsoul23]

@@JamesTheCarGuy 4s are definitely more likely but imagine the fives, that’d be awesome

[@KeepingItReal1814]

Two things they really need are affordability and to actually fix all the quirks with the hemi and the 3.6 engine fix those and the cars are golden

[@RockyRohde]

You still got Tim’s contact? Lots of us trying to order a Ram HD and they have a glitch in the order system and can’t get anyone to fix.. A lot of us waiting for them to add rear air suspension to 3500 SRW trucks.. Ram Cares and Stellantis run you in a circle lol.. Great content by the way been a sub for a long time.

[@brandonhunter5595]

I Feel Like The 99 Charger Concept Just Under A Different Name Is The Perfect Time To Be Brought Back With A V6 And V8 Engine Option

[@theunknownone5990]

Roadrunner

[@brandonhunter5595]

@ You Onto Something Knowing The 99 Charger Concept Was A Sedan So If They Keep That Same Blueprint Change Certain Things Here And There So A Modern 4 Door Sedan Road Runner Would Be Something Crazy/Different

[@DAT240Z72]

They don’t make without Trucks! Period

[@phillipbradberry1692]

Bring back the chrysler p.t.crusuer for. Poor customer😢😢🎉🎉

[@wesleybray8067]

Why would they not use the merecedes amg for the viper platform with different engine ?

[@Bizzy_life91]

What about a Dodge stealth with that twin turbo engine.

[@Joshua_N-A]

The Hurricane inline 6 is twin turbo but only if it doesn't have issues, then Stealth may be possible.

[@af22raptor23503]

Jeep could also bring back the Grand Cherokee Trailhawk Hemi 5.7L 360 which was a very popular Off Road Grand Cherokee! I own a 2020 GC Trailhawk Hemi 5.7L and it is great off roader!

[@davea4037]

Those are some good choices. Probably never happen but u are right. Dodge did try a neon replacement with the dart but it didn't sell much. Bad timing.

[@GoMango392]

Hi Butter - Arman again. What these manufacturers are not realizing is that there is a huge appetite for muscle/racy American cars but they are simply not capturing the market due to the price points. Even a base V8 Mustang is now $45k and not $35k like it used to be even 5 years ago. Stellantis needs to lower the price of the car and cater to the enthusiasts. Huge money to be made around the $35k to $50k range.

[@zayynasty0705]

What about a v10 mid engine calvo viper??

[@mrwcp63]

Definitely agree about the smaller Challenger Cuda but you forgot the most important vehicle a new Dakota no bigger than the first or second generation with a Hemi my 98 Dakota was one of my favorite vehicles I ever had also bring back the pentastar logo or at least a Dodge fratzog logo from the 60s

[@BlackEyeSRT]

Love it. Keep the content coming man 💪🏻

[@ramcharger1978]

The Cuda should NOT be a Dodge!!!! Revive the Plymouth name brand and introduce the Barracuda and it’s SRT Performance version the Cuda!!!!!!

[@Ej.504]

Literally just put a v8 in the new charger and make the 2 door lighter than 4200 lbs. thats it.

[@ramcharger1978]

With Chrysler YES, this name brand should be competing with Cadillac, Lincoln, Lexus, and the Euro brands. I would bring back the Aspen, Windsor, 300, Town &Country, and Newport nameplates. The 300 should be a luxury sports car.

[@johnnymason2460]

Chrysler has never been a competitor to luxury brands like BMW, Mercedes-Benz, Lexus, and Cadillac. It's more of a Buick competitor. Also, Lincoln currently is not a competitor to Cadillac. It's more of a Buick competitor right now.

[@g4do]

Dodge doesn't need a V12 engine for the viper. The V10 is heavy enough. It does need to upgrade the Viper V10 into a new trim that will blow people's minds. The HELLVIPER! Two huge turbos with a firey Viper emblem, 1200 hp , plenty of aero, plus active aero, adjustable suspension... track killer

[@nickjoseph3436]

A new AAR CUDA WOULD BE GREAT

[@JohnSmith-de2mz]

I haven't lie the styling of the Chargers for years and the new 2 door looks like a kit car, styled by a kid. They need to get some stylists creating cars that people would have to have, then make the engineering bullet proof

[@Michael-u8b3l]

They've got to get away from power plants that fail routinely and lower the prices by 20k for starters

[@jabninja2577]

Dang why only the American companies and all of those companies need to consistently make reliable vehicles

[@Bski-v6c]

They need to bring that back

[@LLFirearms.223]

I wish Chrysler, Dodge, Jeep and Ram had their own performance for all the Hemi. Like how ford has Roush.

[@TheChucks]

I think they could make a little viper using a hurricane engine to compete with the Supera and Z. Maybe a “super stealth”

[@WhatUpDoePhresh]

The current JGC would need a slight redesign for a trackhawk model. More aerodynamic the viper, cuda, neon for sure turn the Grand wagoneer into a chrysler with a huge 300c facial and a better window design That chrysler imperial they teased years ago, updated. S580, 760, A8 comp Make a suv version of the ram 1500 aka commander or something. Suburban, Yukon comp

[@christianjadot4459]

So what you are saying is … bring back the Hemi.

[@StevenMortimer-o1t]

They need cheap volume sellers to get customers in Then get them to eventually move up to bigger and more powerful vehicles Specialty vehicles won’t carry the company They are the gravy Remember the Caravan They were everywhere That is what they need plus 4 and 6 and 8 cyl in the sports cars Look at the Mustang and Camaro People bought them and moved up Not everyone has 60k to buy a base vehicle with the cheapest parts and quality or wants to from Stellantis Look at the Demon 170 issues and the hurricane engine and not ti forget the Hornet

[@lincolnman4538]

Srt4 the dart was there chance they dropped the ball . Next 300 has become the Lincoln towncar/ taxi it needs a different direction completely not hp. Next ....Viper...it needs an automatic & to be a SPORTS CAR mid engine as for V10 optional similar to the Audi R8 Trackhawk means keeping cherokee line around... and profitable Trx...buyable offroad truck offroad only

[@mikesanders9768]

Hey what's the info for the lawyer that helps with dodge issues I have a 2021 redeye with less than 7k miles on it and the dealership is saying I need a new engine but I got denied by dodge because I didn't get an oil change every 6 months
