The second and last new car my dad ever bought, I pushed for the Dodge magnum but my brother prevailed with the Ricardo Mantalban choice.

A second-tier car company like Chrysler should be watching Toyota on what it is doing rather than the climate alarmists.

Toyota is being realistic in not going full-blown EV as it knows their is no infrastructure to support it for decades.

Chrysler's new business model will be to suck off the government incentives instead of prudently operating a viable business

How is this different from their old business model from the 70's?  Wanna buy some tanks?

Chrysler did make great tanks.

No way Toyota is going to ditch the ICE. Imagine jihadis driving electric technicals across the sandbox... **nononono*

Seventeen Techniques for Truth Suppression

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

@GtHawk

Ford’s planned production increases of both the F-150 Lightning and Mustang Mach-E, two of its first three fully electric vehicles, have been the momentum behind the stock’s most recent increases. As for the steady climb since Farley’s takeover of Ford nearly a year-and-a-half ago, the company’s transitioning narrative has pointed closer to a fully-electric future, void of combustion engines.

For a true gangster car, I got to go with the New Yorker.  It had a 4-body trunk.

The New Yorker was good.  Especially the one with the concave sides.

Not just the mileage, I have not found memories of bad valves stem seals leading to often fouled plugs in the good old seventies.

Piker, my '73 Newport was a 6-8 body trunk, equaled only by a '72 Lincoln I once had.
