rmc523 Posted February 1, 2017 Share Posted February 1, 2017 Alfa well on their way to taking over the world!! Up to 70 Giulias and 38 4C's! They'll hit that 400,000 target (or whatever it was) in no time! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
630land Posted February 1, 2017 Share Posted February 1, 2017 (edited) And as soon as they bring out the full line of Dodges based on Alfas, Mopar-Fiat will be #1 car company. And get 90% market share!!! And of course, Plymouth is on the way back! Edited February 1, 2017 by 630land Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

630land Posted February 1, 2017 Share Posted February 1, 2017 (edited) Oh wait, soon, they will "surprise everyone" with a new Fiat Tipo based Neon from Turkey! After all, there's "pent up demand for a new Neon" Edited February 1, 2017 by 630land Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

630land Posted February 1, 2017 Share Posted February 1, 2017 Seriously, who will merge with them? More likely, "partners" are waiting for another Bankruptcy to grab Jeep and Ram. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tbone Posted February 1, 2017 Share Posted February 1, 2017 It will be interesting to see how long they will be able to hold out. That company has nothing to save but Jeep and Ram, although I do think the Pacifica is nice for a van. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

630land Posted February 1, 2017 Share Posted February 1, 2017 Ram Pacifica or Caravan would work. The Chrysler name has been dragged through the mud and has either "old fart" or "BHPH special" image. Mopar-heads still claim it's a "luxury brand", yeah right. I predict the make will go the way of Rambler, De Soto and Edsel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bzcat Posted February 1, 2017 Share Posted February 1, 2017 Ram was within 1,700 units of Silverado. To be fair, Ram is in Class 4 and 5 (like Ford F series) but Chevy is only Class 1-3. It's a bit of apples and pears comparison. I wish they all provide class breakdowns. Since Ram is the class leading in Class 4 and 5, I'm guessing Chevy still leads Ram by significant margin in Class 1-3. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
akirby Posted February 1, 2017 Share Posted February 1, 2017 I'm sure Jeep fans would love a minivan in the lineup haha. It's a good vehicle and would bring in new buyers and presumably profits, so I'm sure Jeep would like it regardless of what their fans think.

630land Posted February 7, 2017 Share Posted February 7, 2017 (edited) Mopar fans are thinking the Super Bowl Alfa ads are going to 'stimulate sales'. Yeah from 100 a month to 200! By next month, average Joes will be looking at the next media fads and have forgotten Super Bowl commercials. "Isn't Alfa-Romeo that luxury Honda?" Or, "I liked that Alfa dude on the Sopranos" And a the usual chorus of "A-R platforms will be the used in new Dodges!" Operative words 'will be'. Alfa-Romeo keeps looking like Sterling and Yugo day by day. Edited February 7, 2017 by 630land Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
