Peugeot..... N’uff said. No, wait.....”Fix it again, Tony”

Jamie O'Neal started trying to find Stellantis back in 2005.

I hope they have come to their senses about the EV fairy tale.

We also need to back end infrastructure starting with mining. If we still send raw ore out of country just to buy back billets we are still at the mercy of countries that hate us. I know, it will take time.

Good news, indeed. About all we see lately is horror stories about how bad the economy is, but the scribblers don't see the big picture. President Trump's MAGA agenda, his trade deals, and tariffs are leading to a massive resurgence of USA manufacturing and automotive is leading the way. There are over $70 billion of projects!

Pres Trump Term	Company	Country	Year	Amount	Key Details
2017-2021	Toyota	Japan	2017	$13B	AL & KY plants; USMCA & tariff avoidance
	Hyundai	South Korea	2017	$3.1B	US ops expansion; steel tariffs & USMCA
	Volkswagen	Germany	2019	$800M	Chattanooga EV expansion
	Honda	Japan	2017	$476M	AL & OH upgrades; tariff response
2025+	Stellantis	Netherlands/Italy	2025	$13B	Midwest expansion; 5 new models, 5,000 jobs
	Hyundai	South Korea	2025	$26B	1.2M vehicles/yr + $5B steel mill
	Honda*	Japan	2025	$2.5B	Civic Hybrid to IN; 90% local prod. shift
	Nissan*	Japan	2025	$1.1B	Sentra to MS; retooling & capacity shift
	Volkswagen*	Germany	2025	$2.8B	Chattanooga & Audi US expansion

* Denotes companies shifting production from foreign plants (e.g., Japan, Mexico, Canada) to U.S. facilities to avoid 25% import tariffs. These investments include retooling, capacity expansion, and job creation in the USA.

Good news also because they cancelled the parts hub and EV battery factory that Prickster bragged about coming to Belvidere. Instead they’ll be making good old ICE vehicles like they always have!

Suck on that Fatboi.

[Tell It Right]

I hope they have come to their senses about the EV fairy tale.

I actually feel sorry for the car manufacturers that went EV. The Dims pressured them into it. In many ways the gas car makers who went EV are the victims, not the aggressors.

SOTUS is going to decide about POTUS tariff authority. So hold your celebrations for now.

[Zathras]

They are doing very poorly and have been for 5 years.
I expect them to go under in a couple more years.

[HonkyTonkMan]

It is good news and I hope they make it. Stellantis is in trouble - the prior CEO wrecked their supply chain, discontinued popular V8 models, and produced poor quality vehicles.

I hope the new leaders have a better vision.

[Gnome1949]

Is there any news they will start building reliable vehicles?

[SPDSHDW]

Jeep Curse.

Every Company past Kaiser that owned Jeep has gone bankrupt and absorbed by someone else.

[Yo-Yo]

Now, if they could only build a decent car...

They’ve run Jeep into the ground.

[Miami Rebel]

A crap product, and now insanely over-priced.

[citizen]

That looks like $62-63B in auto investment. Thousands of direct & spinoff jobs. & taxes paid...

[TalBlack]

When it comes to buying a car the customer has lost a lot of his power. For the last fifteen or twenty years all helpless seemed to care about was the MONTHLY number. In my recent experience the dealers couldn’t care less what the customer wants and doesn’t want.

So I bought a three thousand dollar 2009 beater from my mechanic (who worked on it all its life) and called it a day.

[Governor Dinwiddie]

Instead of designing a new four cylinder engine, why don't they license a proven one from
another manufacturer?

Growing pains with new engine designs are legendary. Software developers are not ashamed
to license technology from other companies. Chrysler has done it before when the licensed a
Volkswagen engine for the Plymouth Horizon.

It’s called shooting oneself in the foot, after aiming carefully.
