Wouldn’t those be Italian Overlords? Fiat Chrysler Automobiles (FCA) is no more. The newly formed company "Stellantis" is FCA and PSA merged together. Most of the FCA leadership left and its basically the French side running things, the CEO came from that side etc. It blatantly obvious they have no clue about the North American market. I dont even give the merger 10 years

Peugeot the last french car to leave the us...1991 Thats who the French side is, Peugeot and some other weird brands you've never heard of is PSA group. I know the FCA guys were just looking to merge and dump, they even hit up GM years back. Funny none of them think Chrysler can survive on their own, yet its Jeep, Ram and Dodge profits that fund the Eurotrash stuff until they mismanage them into the ground

The dealer I’m at has not sold a single Hornet yet…. Why do you think this is? I can't say I understand the poor sales of these but I don't know them intimately either. While I'm not a fan of vehicles in that segment, to me it looks pretty nice styling wise and powerful version for it's class.
Facts are stubborn things.

"Kuniskis is leaving at a difficult time for the brands he oversaw. Ram sales declined 26 percent"
Yep, that's what happens when you take the Market leading 4th Gen Ram and turned it into the brutally ugly toyota Clone we have today.
Useless Meathead, don't let the 2 doors of a Regular Cab Ram hit you in the ass on the way out. Anything will be an upgrade from this Glorified Used-Car Salesman.

While I'm not a fan of vehicles in that segment, to me it looks pretty nice styling wise and powerful version for it's class. Local dealer sold 4. One went back under the Lemon Law, two spend most of their time languishing in the service department and the 4th has never been heard from. Local salesman tries his best to encourage people to look at something (anything) else.
Never, ever argue with an IDIOT. They will drag you to their level and then beat you with their years of experience

Tim had nothing to do with the Rams design, he was just brought in during the 11th hour to help try and sell them at the ridiculous marked up prices. Tavares has been firing people for not being able to keep 2019 level sales at current doubled prices. I figure Tim was given 2 options and chose "to retire" (the guy is like 50, so I royally doubt he's retiring)

Considering he's been with the company for his working career, 1992 to 2024, 32 years would put his age at early to mid 50s. https://media.stellantisnorthamerica.com/newsrelease.do?id=11811Maybe a little too early to retire? Maybe he's not happy with the direction the company is going? Maybe he was given a choice that was easy for him? Who knows. He's done well as far as I'm concerned. GM isnt giving straight answers on whether Pontiac is coming back or not off that full page ad that was just in C&D. Rumor is Tim went there to head the come back, which if true, is to take over for the hellcat business with new supercharged Firebirds
