@hochhaul You have to wonder. Things are getting stranger than fiction! 109 countries, 1,030 times throughout history shows their complete disregard for humanity.
I’m shocked Tavares still has a job. Just completely mismanaged all the American brands in the Stellantis portfolio. There is a reason why every executive of those brands has resigned or left. French have no idea what the American market wants or what a V8 is
He has a job because financially, stellantis maintains a very profitable position. Yes they move less units but they make much more per unit. You could imagine it as a slower dime over faster nickel philosophy. They could CARE less about all the models sitting on lots. They look at balance sheets.
As an old buyer of minivans--starting with a 1984 4-speed Caravan until Toyota improved seats on Sienna-- based current AWD Pacifica with stow-n-go middle seats and competitive price--more than 10k below Sienna--will try a 2024 unit this summer. Other vehicle is a 2019 Jeep Cherokee Limited with 34k that has been very good for 5 years--especially its ability to ascend snowy roads at the top of VT. But I go way back to buying a Dodge Dart for $750 with 120k on its slant-6 225 ci engine. Used 3 years then sold it for $750 with 160k. One front torsion bar failed that cost about $500 to fix. Otherwise, the car was great. Mechanic at the town garage said those engines will last if you take care of it. Bought a Dodge van with 3-speed manual on the column same engine. Held up great, too. Toyota is over-priced, plus dealers still trying to extort surcharges. They lost me as a repeat buyer
@@davidporter7051 the point I was attempting to make is that there are some products and features in the Stelantis vehicles worth continuing--namely the minivan with AWD and middle seats that drop into the floor; and the Jeep Cherokee. IMO these comments reply to your earlier reply and the comment by H Jones.
Low trade in values and high interest rates must be causing a lot of teeth nashing at dealerships as people try to trade in their old cars for new ones. Dealers can only allow you to get so upside down and there is a limit on how high a payment people can afford. SHTF.

I had two Dodge Rams in the pass a 2017 and a 2019 and at the time they were the best bank for your buck the reason why you got a ram is because you got a lot for your money in those days now they became a premium brand and it's not worth it I have a Chevy 1500 right now and I'm trying to get another Ram because of their discounts but there leasing programs are awful
These per-quarter YoY results, are OK, but not great. But no worries! 2023 sales tanked in the 2nd half of the year, after the cheap financing dried up. So the 2nd half of 2024 numbers will be awesome compared to those of the previous year. Wall Street analysts and C-Suite types will tell us how the industry is on the right track, stock prices will be up (justifying their YE bonuses) blah blah blah, but in reality little will have changed, and it's just BAU.
It has been coming for a long time. Vehicles are expensive and people want quality reliable cars. Toyota, Mazda, Honda , the top three. Toyotas trucks are bringing the brand down. I think Mazda is underrated and should be looked at.
6:15 Good Car Bad Car's data has to be super wrong here. YTD they have massively higher sales in Q1 (52k, 52k, 54k) than Q2 (19k, 19k, 19k) despite Tesla's quarterly deliveries (worldwide) being higher in Q2 than Q1. No way their Q2 sales in the US dropped to 1/3 that of Q1 while worldwide sales increased. Tesla's Q1 (global) deliveries were 386,810 to Q2's 443,956. The math ain't mathin' for US sales to go from 158k to 57k quarter-over-quarter. Assuming their proportion is correct for Q1 and projecting that to Q2--the US sales should be approx 181k. Which would then propagate through to be 339k YTD which is approximately flat YoY (which makes sense as their global sales are pretty flat YoY).
Stellantis ruined the mopar franchise for as long as they owned them that’s why I will NEVER buy anything from them I would rather buy a Frontier if I want N/A or if I want power I would buy a Ranger Raptor cause I love the looks of that truck
8:05 Does Audi have good leases? Hah. When I did a lease in 2018 I test drove a number of vehicles and the salesman at the Audi dealership when I mentioned how terrible their lease terms were basically accused their German competition (BMW and Merc) of cooking the books with unreasonably high residuals which made no sense because they'd be the ones left holding the bag having a residual higher than they could resell it for. Seemed like a scumbag salesman and dealership, I didn't bother shopping Audi at all when my lease ended in 2021 correspondingly.
Don't believe a word consumer report says about vehicle reliability. I took their advice on several vehicles in the past, and what I ended up with was junk.
Ben you nailed it with Tesla, I’d absolutely be purchasing a new cybertruck if they would’ve have buried me in my 21’ plaid…On a positive note, I suppose there is worse vehicles to be stuck with😂
Hyundai is great if you live in poverty because it's affordable, but the real world reliability is terrible. Particularly the 2.0L turbo. Those engines are constantly failing.
