CDJR To Split Off From Stellanits As Own Company

[@bikdav]

Forget the European emissions talk and politics. CDJR needs to break away from STELLANTIS and be specifically an American company. About the EVs? That should be an option, NOT A Mandate!

[@fortheloveofnoise]

If you want it to not be a mandate...there is only 1 way you can vote 😅

[@BigT683]

If they split off that may be some of the best news I've heard in a long time!

[@CJColvin]

Totally agree 100%

[@redhunnid5142]

Especially if they all join together as one company like GM with Cadillac, Chevy, GMC and Corvette

[@theunknownone5990]

A split needs to happen no matter which direction Europe goes. Stellantis is way too bloated to survive as it is in the long term.

[@charolinaking]

Tk just shiitposting from the airport. 😂

[@horseathalt7308]

Seems so, who told him this?

[@blueduster74]

He’s been right most of the time so…

[@MickPsyphon]

Stellantis needs to either sell off CDJR, or operate it as a separate entity completely. If they try to run it as a part of Stellantis, using Stellantis processes and methods, not only will they kill the CDJR brands, but Stellantis may cease to exist, unless some fool buys them out. All production needs to return to the plants that have successfully operated to complement the CDJR brands throughout the past 20 years; and parts supplies need to go back to the parts manufacturers who made QUALITY PARTS! I get the whole, "bring it back to America" sentiment; and I largely agree with that. Let's just not make the mistake of looking at Canadian manufacturing as adversaries, because anyone who knows the history of auto manufacturing in North America knows that Canada played a HUGE part in the successes of Ford, GM and the Chrysler group! The result being that it allowed expansion, prosperity and improved quality of the products. Mexico, on the other hand, is known for merely offering cheap labour, with lowered standards of quality. There have been exceptions, but that wasn't the rule.

[@CJColvin]

Like Pontiac's Canadian Sub-brands like Acadian and Beaumont for example.

[@MickPsyphon]

@CJColvin The Pontiac Firebird Trans Am was iconic. It revived interest in GM muscle cars, despite not being true muscle cars. The only problem was that GM seemed bent on killing off the Camaro. They just couldn't seem to ride the coattails of the Firebird, at that time. I grew up in Oshawa, Ontario. Home of GMC Headquarters, as well as multiple assembly plants. The Acadia and Beaumont were well known as cars to mod.

[@CJColvin]

@MickPsyphon Agreed 100% and not to mention they're beautiful Canadian Muscle Cars as well. Also the Canadian Fords were Meteor and Monarch (the 2 Canadian Sub-brands under Mercury).

I remember when Renault saved AMC ass because they were bankrupt. How old are you? Read up on the history of the last 40yrs of these companies. Bankrupt 4x. And bailed out by a European company each time. Renault, Daimler Benz, Fiat, PSA. Go bother and check.

[@garrettsmith2654]

If Stellantis is splitting CDJR, they need to do it now. They should've done it a long time ago.

[@CJColvin]

Agreed 100%

[@horseathalt7308]

Yes, the longer this is drawn out the less chance they survive.

[@platanomacho8324]

They will go down anyway, they never learn

[@patrickking2550]

Personally I think they’d be better off selling it back to American investors and find a very strong minded CEO that is only for American made, no more political theater in the business and dropping prices to what their vehicles are truly worth. The prices all the big three are charging are unaffordable, and we know it does not cost that much to produce them, also they need to come down very hard on dealers marking up the prices, no dealer add ones unless requested by the buyer.

[@manuelsmiley7125]

If Chrysler's truck operations are still being used to fund European operations after the split, it's not a split.

[@Rexx-z88]

US owned only I know that's a dream

[@MidlifeCrisisManagement]

CDJR went out of business twice before it ever fell into foreign ownership. Lee Iococa saved it the first time, Daimler bought it the second time. I don't see how it survives this time around, especially with Stellantis involved. hoping for the best regardless.

[@seismicrock6849]

Modern corporations claim flexibility, yet are as inflexible as an old politician, Stellantis will never keep their greasy fingers outside of CDJR, no matter what they claim.

[@horseathalt7308]

Think Saturn of GM....Saturn was doing really well as a separate entity under GM but GM just could not resist meddling in things, and it did kill Saturn.

[@stevenetti]

It's the curse of Jeep. Did you know that every company that owned the Jeep Brand has either gone bankrupt, got sold, got bought out or needed Government help? Willy's Kaiser AMC Renault Chrysler Daimler Cerberus Fiat Stelantis is circling the drain right now. Maybe Jeep has always wanted to be an independent manufacturer on its own. It's the curse of Jeep!

[@uptownchi7654]

[@rogerrussell9544]

I think that Elkins is still blinded by Tavares and his 'charms'. No qualified person would touch Stellantis with Carlos hanging around putting his destructive touch on things. There are lawsuits from investors working their way through the US courts, and if they go to trial Tavares and the Board will suffer a humiliating defeat, they know and back everything Tavares does to destroy share holder value. Perhaps spinning off the Chrysler division will insulate them from that.

[@timdavis8154]

About time sad Stalantis will still be using CDJR as a cash cow.

[@grantandersen]

I still think the CDJR split off will still happen regardless of the EU does. I think Antonio Filosa will be CEO of Stellantis overall. Carlos Taveres might be out of there by possibly between March & June. Matt McAlear or William Peffer might be CEO of CDJR company and they might try to involve Frank B Rhoades in some way.

[@jeeplife5262]

CDJR is already a separate company. It remained it’s own legal entity, FCA US LLC, even after the Stellantis creation.

[@MarkSki55]

As a Mopar gearhead in Detroit who worked in a GM asm plant seems to me by separating Stellantis from all the Mopar brands would be far easier for Rhodes to buy out all the Mopar bramds & Rebirth of Chrysler America🇺🇸

[@iamwill89]

Imagine how far in the black they would’ve been if they would have just left things the way they were. Now they’re scrambling 😂

[@ptcoronet]

The whole purpose of joining companies was to share platforms, and that isn't happening. The last sharing was under MB mostly. Hornet shares with Alfa. They have killed Lanca to Ypsilon. Fiat to the 500 ++ Van share with Ram, Citroen and Renault. Chrysler a once competitor to Lincoln, Pontic, Cadillac, etc luxury. Is now just a luxury van. They brought back Voyage name for base entry trim. They could even re- nose to make it different. Or offer low floor cargo hybrid van. RAM CV Ended with the Grand caravan. Why couldn't they take the grand caravan & install rear electric motor like the Hornet?

[@us1fedvet]

I’ve seen nothing on this anywhere. MOPAR needs to be ashuck of the European aligned Stellantis. No involvement.

[@calr4459]

Recalling what was selling a lot of in 2019 at CDJR, beside Jeep it was Dodge Journey and Caravan. SUVs are big sellers in the automotive world and Chrysler and Dodge don’t have one. If a holding company buys CJDR it would fire the workforce and sell off assets. Based on current sales I’m thinking only Jeep and Ram would survive.

[@shovel_head80]

30 bucks 🤣

[@AftermathNoPrep]

So stellantis offered to their us employees a stock buying program And I took part in it, beings it was offered to US employees this year.. It was pretty much if you buy stellantis stock you get it for 20% off, plus they will match you up to $1000 worth of extra shares. But you can't sell it for 3 years. Wonder how that will work if they split? 🤔 Or I wonder if I just threw away my money beings the stock has been going down since. Lol

[@martinsharp4430]

It would be amazing especially if they could lower the price ,doing that might help sale more products depending on what vehicles they build

[@davewhanger6722]

I think they should split.

[@Oscarphone]

TK is right, the EV thing is dying fast

[@patricksquires77]

Feels like a Private Equity play now - -Run it hot -Cut and sell some assets -Split off underfunded and loaded with high interest debt -> which would get paid to Stelantis.

[@Allstargamer1000]

I think they need to separate CDJR from Stellantis. Maybe make the North American company an old name like American Motor Company since Chrysler owns the rights.

[@MichigantoFlorida]

Good Afternoon Mr TK. CDJR as a stand alone will most likely have its own P&L and be responsible for its own debt and legacy costs. Stellantis as their financial back up just may no longer be required to pump money into CDJR? What do you think?

[@davidrosing5788]

All the employees that were laid off means whatever company is left over won't have enough corporate memory left that knows how to make a stamped washer, let alone a car. You can see this with all the production issues on the Daytona and Hurricane RAMs. Yeah, the drawings and CAD models exist to make the V8s, but the tooling is gone, the engineers are gone that knew how to make them, the component vendors' contracts are gone, and the line workers who built them are gone. I don't see how splitting off the company can save the brand at all as ti will take decades to recover to the point where I'd trust the reliability of the car before I buy one.

[@keepmovin1320]

I believe splitting CDJR into it's own separate entity would definitely be a smart move

[@olddubhead]

If they split will we get the customer service we use to get? Hopefully they hire techs who know how to do more than change the oil.

[@nitrousexplosion10]

Split off or not, it will take a lot of capital investment to save CDJR. Stellantis already stripped it of its parts... So why would you invest in a new CDJR? Unless they can get their quality problems under control, the ship keeps sinking. If they do get quality to improve, it's still an uphill battle with a market that has lost a lot of patience.

Evs are too expensive and not practical.

[@SHO1989]

For now. Won't be the case in 2 to 3 years. Battery costs are plummeting and EVs will be less expensive than ICE cars in this time period. At that point, legacy auto makers are toast without bailouts. Even then, the Chinese and Tesla, ( maybe Ford ) will have very compelling EVs with fast charging batteries that last hundreds of thousands of miles for less money that ICE cars I love a V8 rumble as much as any 67 year old guy but the writing is on the wall, EVs will disrupt ICE cars by 2030 just like Smartphones disrupted Nokia in 2010. Tarrifs! They'll save legacy auto makers. Nope. Eventually the better priced and better technology will stomp them. Economics always win. Make a better mousetrap and peeps will flock to it leaving the old guard in the dust.

[@peacock1993]

People think EVs are cheap to operate. That may be true at the moment but as more are sold and more electricity is needed that cost will drastically change. The power companies will then be able to charge whatever they want and say it's to build out all the grid that is needed to support it. Then even if you don't own an EV you'll be paying for them with your home utility bill.
