    Many brands are stuck with aging 2024 stock as inventory surges past 3 million, but dealers still aren’t lowering prices meaningfully

    Well, there’s the problem.

      Also the fact word goes around and eventually people have realized that anything built by Stellantis is a piece of shit.

        Dodge/Chrysler/etc have historically been hot garbage. The only reason they still remain relevant is 1) the minivan and 2) their engineers periodically getting a brick of coke to make wild shit.

            ✨RAMCHARGERS✨ lol

            I really, really hate to admit that I really REALLY fucking want a Challenger RT/SRT8. Now I will never give up my Japanese vehicles, but gawd-DAYUM I do love a big, lopey, and disgustingly unhinged V8 with a proper gearbox in RWD. Something about that combo just tickles my nuts in all the right ways. Aw hell, even an SRT4 Neon has the spirit of the old DSMs - both are properly unhinged when tuned. Like, DSM guys break all kinds of shit to the point you’re lucky to make a single pass, but when that thing runs, it fucking SCREAMS.

            I guess the nice thing about having basement-level expectations from the start is the fact that most issues have several forums’ worth of well-(at least it’s)-documented tips, tricks, fixes, and upgrades, from backyard mechanics all the way to full-blown professionals.

        Stellantis is a conglomerate of the worlds’ most famously unreliable/shoddy/cheap brands. It’s a miracle they even exist.

      I was taught that prices are determined by supply and demand. I was taught a lot of other nonsense too.
