Interesting information. Some interesting observations on Stellantis. As i watch this I can tell you Auto Nation met with Stellantis today. Yeah, it is that serious. Looking at the Rolls Royce I can only say we used to have large cars like that in the United States.
It should be that serious because he’s going to ruin a good car company. If we had well built large cars, that handled well that were promoted properly I think you could very quickly make the crossover market loss steam. Basically point out to the younger generation that it’s “their parents vehicle” and it would go the way of the mini van and station wagon because that’s basically what happened to those vehicles. Or point out that the crossover is basically a glorified station wagon..
@@Beyondthelensproductions There was news today. Tavares is out in 2026 and they made a bunch of management changes today in the administration. You make a valid point about cars. I wish they would take the steam out of crossovers. I hope things will change. Yes, if they had well built and well promoted cars, it would make a huge difference. Yes, they are oversized station wagons. You do not see much difference in the shape between other brands. People miss cars. It is the general public that has to change.
@@OLDS98 That’s good news about Tavares but I don’t think that’s nearly soon enough.. I don’t think the stock holders did either because their stock dropped today…. Agreed but if the advertising campaign was done right the public opinion could be changed. Think VHS versus Betamax… Betamax was a far superior product as proven by the fact that TV stations continued to use the product years after the general public abandoned it. Now I’m not saying cars are inferior to crossovers but I’m simply saying that public opinion can be manipulated. I could go on with examples of that.. Someone in the comments section somewhere did reference something that he read referencing the fact that GenZ has grown tired of crossovers so maybe this is the beginning of the tides shifting… We shall see.
@@Beyondthelensproductions They basically said he was out in 2026 if he last that long. They shuffled the deck with other executives. They added responsibilities to others and some decided to leave. They did approach Mopar Jesus( I cannot spell his name) and he said no. I suspect he will end up at Ford or GM in good time and work his magic there. That stock did take a hit. That is unfortunate. I recall VHS and Beta Max. The tv newsrooms did stay with a bit longer. Now everything is digital. I think sometimes we cannot keep up with the changes. There are so many dvd formats now. I hope the tide is shifting. I really do. It sucks when you drive and you cannot see in front of you or behind you because of some suv/crossover. I will tell you the car companies started this. Recall the minivan? That is dying slowly right now. It is nearing its run. Car makers said they could not make money off small cars. They saw profit in big cars. Then in the early 1990's they switched to suv and crossovers because there is money there. They did not have to comply with all the regulations. Right now the cash is rolling in with suv's and trucks. They thought electric was going to be the next big thing. They now have realized that this not the case and they all backed off that shift. They are looking for the next thing that will make them money. I say Hybrids and Toyota is winning that race. GM is working on new engines and more suvs. If Ford gets a Charger fighter out, a shift to cars may come. I admit I do like the Oldsmobile Bravada suv( the last one), but I would not own one. That is why I am currently looking for a 1995-1996 Oldsmobile Ninety-Eight Regency Elite Series II in the United States and Canada.
In what sense? I’ve talked about them off and on thru my reviews. I’m not on the EV bandwagon because I’m not convinced that they are the best all and end all that many others do. I’ve been in a number of them and driven one but to me they lack soul.

Thank you for the insight. - will you talk about EV car?
