Dealer satisfaction: GM at top, Stellantis at bottom

When Mary Barra took the helm of General Motors, she almost immediately started working on increasing the quality of the company’s dealer network. PR people have been tight-lipped on how this was done, but the results are clear in the latest J.D. Power study. Every General Motors brand (shown in bright green) ended up in […]

The big electric pickup list, updated

Here are all the electric pickups we know about, in one table. We are reporting what we know about; there are things we don’t know about. Not everything is comparable to gasoline powered cars (e.g. torque at the wheels). Most of these figures are not final, and some may be hyperbole. Electric car companies have realized […]

Stellantis’ Bruce ad is back

Bruce Springsteen’s Stellantis ad, which urges Americans to unite on common ground, is back on the air after a drunk-driving charge was dropped. The singer-songwriter, associated with New Jersey’s shore since the 1970s, was pulled over by the police after he was seen accepting a drink from fans. He pled guilty to drinking alcohol in […]

GM does well in J.D. Power Dependability; Stellantis and Ford, not so much

The big winner in the J.D. Power dependability survey was, again, Toyota; they took the #1 spot with Lexus, and then the #4 spot with Toyota-the-brand. Both were well below average in problems (0.81 and 0.98, respectively). Hyundai/Kia also did quite well, coming in at #3 and #7, with Genesis at #8. But GM has […]

Who won and lost in 2020 sales? GM, Ford both win in trucks.

GM was the arguable winner of the 2020 sales contest, at least among the American contestants, with a mere 12% falloff in sales. That was below Ford’s 15% drop or FCA’s 18% fall, and also enough to beat Honda and Nissan. GM roughly matched Toyota’s 11% fall; the only major automakers to really beat GM’s […]

Wrangler 392 at $77,000? and Turbo-2s delayed

The new site MoPower.com had a busy first day with two new stories. The first covers a thread in the JLWrangler forums site which claims the Wrangler 392 will start at over $77,000—a claim which seems to make sense when one considers that a similarly equipped Rubicon with the V6 engine would come in at […]
