Stellantis basically destroyed all the American brands and wasted the profits that those brands generated the last 10 years.

Just egregious mis-management by Tavares.
Their board consisted of all Europeans while the American brands generated the bulk of the profits from Jeep and Ram.

The pricing strategy and new product development going EV and cancelling Hemi was probably the worst decisions that I have seen in recent times.

Btw all the European brands are doing horrible as well.

Stellantis reminds of Embracer in the video game world. They brought together all these brands, had no vision, and now going down in flames

Ask your dealer if stellantis is right for you.

Side effects may include: suspended driver's license, low credit score, and a busted oil cooler.
Haha exactly...

Yes, that's funny......but the actual meaning of "Stellantis" is rooted in Latin, and means "To Brighten With Stars". Subaru's six-star constellation means more or less the same thing.

I had an M45 (the boxy first gen), a long time ago. Was my only V-8 powered car of my life. I say go get it, its probably worth less than my shirt by now!

Pacifica is not alone at the Chrysler dealer. You can get a Voyager too.

I watched this today. It is troubling to see such turmoil within the company and its dealer network. Not really an expert on this stuff, so I will not really comment on it. But I was curious what you guys think about it.

Seems like most of them, though, if not all, are only available at rental-firms. They are not part of Chrysler's public line-up, and not on sale at dealerships.

This article may make it a little more clear.

The Voyager also retained the older design before the Pacifica was facelifted in 2021. In 2022, the Voyager became exclusively available to fleet customers, but now Chrysler has announced that the Voyager is returning to the retail market for 2025, carrying a starting price of $41,690.
It will no longer only be sold to rental firms. You can buy one at the dealership.
