Not entirely. When VW added the flower vase with a rose to the retro beetle’s dashboard it became dead to men but women went gaga over it. It was a brilliant marketing move if the goal was to sell only to women.
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.
Another issue that may or may not be a problem is you no longer need a sports car to go fast. EVs can accelerate faster while still providing all the space, functionality, and creature comforts of a SUV, truck, or sedan. And today’s ICE trucks and SUVs are not too far off from sports cars from a few years ago. F150, escape and explorer can all go 0 to 60 in mid to upper 5 second range.
True and as Akirby said, it’s a no brainer considering Ford h already had the EB performance packs. Dedicated models would make forward ordering of parts easier.
