Bring the trucks back under the Dodge name; Ram is the perfect name for how gay that name change is. Also, that electric Charger looks sharp, maybe offer it with an internal combustion engine. Put an inline six back into Jeeps, I would’ve bought one a couple years ago, but hesitated the second I noticed that it was a Fiat V6 engine under the hood.

I understand your hesitation at the V-6 but I have the Pentastar V-6 in my 2018 Wrangler and at 55k mile it hasn’t hiccuped once.

Having said that, the whole Stellantis organization is a major cluster fk.

The overall quality of the product regardless of brand is horrible.

I love my Jeep and it’s a blast to drive but it is without a doubt THE quirkiest vehicle I have ever owned, and I’ve owned my share.

From what I’ve been hearing, any Jeep Wrangler newer than 2019 is to be avoided at all costs....and that includes Gladiator.

You might have dodged a bullet. The word “Jeep” was once synonymous with rugged and reliable. No longer. Everything I read about the brand now is bad.

Consumer Reports (2025) ranks the Jeep brand 24th out of 26 car manufacturers for reliability.

I believe the Charger is offered in electric or an inline six with a twin turbo as premium.

The name FIAT just does not conjure an image of any kind of quality in my mind. The name of Chrysler does, having established at least some kind of quality image many years ago. I know they got a bad rap at times, but even when a Plymouth was a bottom line car with a flathead six, it was still a fairly good car. Built slightly more modern, it would still serve the needs of many drivers even today. FIAT, on the other hand makes me think more of YUGO which was a real junker. Fiat did have some interesting cars, but nothing that was any real quality-built.
