atomcat68 Posted January 15 Share Posted January 15 This is so odd as Stellantis was saying last week that this car was coming soon and Chrysler had a bright future. My guess is that maybe they sent the car to a test group like Ford did with the "bullet train car" and it isn't go over well. Or the other possibility is that the cash position of Stellantis is falling faster than expected. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tbone Posted January 15 Share Posted January 15 I personally thought it was a good looking vehicle. Probably a combination of cash issues and lower than expected EV demand. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rmc523 Posted January 15 Share Posted January 15 So they were about to put it out, they sent it back to redesign, and now have cancelled it again? The writing may be on the wall for Chrysler at this point. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
atomcat68 Posted January 15 Share Posted January 15 At this point, it doesn't seem like a good idea to design a Chrysler product for that brand, as the brand won't sell enough to justify the expense. It would make more sense to just build and sell the next generation Peugeot products here and replace the badge on it with a Chrysler badge, or if they want less brands to manage world wide sell those products as a Peugeot (selling Pacifica under that brand) and axe Chrysler. Chrysler may be too damaged to rebuild and it may just be easier to introduce Peugeot which would be a new brand to NA at this point.

ehaase Posted January 16 Share Posted January 16 Just let the Chrysler brand go the way of Mercury, Pontiac, and Oldsmobile. That segment is dead. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mackinaw Posted January 16 Share Posted January 16 Coincidentally, this June will be Chrysler's 100th birthday. You got to wonder if the brand will see much more beyond that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
