NPR is government funded radio. Its garbage. NPR has 87 employees. 87 employees that vote democrat so that means not one republican. What kind of news do you think you’re getting from a one sided radio station like that? Orange Man Bad! Lmao!

If you are going to take content from Caredge, at least give them a shout out. I always thought you wanted other channels to be successful. This is very disappointing to hear on their channel that you did this.

Who would’ve thought? Well, everyone.

building garbage is all Stellantis does. they are the voltron of trash. Nissan, Fiat, chrysler, etc.

Federal fines for not meeting fuel mileage fleet standard set by the government. Added to the price of the vehicle. There is no way a Jeep Rubicon with the 392 is $98,000.00.

Exactly! The new Wagoneer/Grand Wagoneer are hideous and way overpriced; at least the have the new Hurricane I6 but reliability is unknown on that power plant.

All of them are not selling!

Offer them 25k.

Cash is not king at a stealership, You don't get a deal paying cash... They get kick backs from banks etcetc.. finance then pay it off the next week if you want. ** edit- I don't mean to say " every " deal is like this. I get that it's not always the case. But in most cases at least with what I've experienced cash deals go no where.. If you can walk out with a cash deal heck ya! But equally even if they do accept a cash deal I feel you're leaving money on the table, finance it and work it down more then just turn around and pay it off. I guess each deal is unique , gotta figure out where you're at on the playing field.

@@carswithaaronmost people do not understand this and it amuses me

They pay a fee for keeping car on there lot to long

@@carswithaaron All very true, but it also does depend on the sales climate - if you have plenty of inventory and someone walks in and offers you enough cash to make some profit for a car you suspect you will have trouble shifting, and you turn them away just in case you can make some more money/kickbacks off a later sale - then you are a fool. A bird in the hand as the saying goes. If it's a car you know you'll sell a week or two later for closer to sticker on credit with a bunch of bullshit fees and extras added in - then of course, you'd be a fool to sell it to the cash buyer.

I can imagine paying 100k for a new car. Can't buy one, got to use my imagination .

@@kiryusimp6581 Cheapest cars on the USDM right now take 20K to get into. Kia Rio, Nissan Versa, etc

@@kiryusimp6581 in Poland cheapest new shitboxes are around 16k USD but with average salary it takes like 5 times longer to save up for such car than in US and you can't get a loan or lease that actually makes sense unless you run your own business but then it still doesn't make sense if the car you want to get is over ~35k USD so cars for people in US are still very cheap compared to some european countries. And that's why average car in Poland is almost 18 years old, people just can't afford new cars.

When I was a kid I worked at a Chrysler dealership…..I asked the Service Advisor why their cars had so many quality problems…he said, no big deal, that’s what the warranty is for. So ship junk and let the dealer fix it.

the ONLY reason Ford has ever been able to claim "best selling truck" is because they don't combine Chevy and GMC which are the same truck.

True, GM has been the best selling truck forever. Also I'm hoping Italy takes the hint and sells back to US Investors. Jeep and RAM Mopar should be US owned.

They also lump all the F series trucks into one basket to pump up the numbers.

​@kendall959 actually no, prior to 2015 there was only three other times when combined GM actually beat Ford, but more recently it's been happening more often.

I don't get it, don't all truck manufacturers report Fleet sales, and also don't all of them want them, have you seen all the truck commercials is everyone wearing hard hats, isn't that who they're also going after as well.

I saw a "discounted" Challenger at a local dealership...bright orange...poor panel alignment and visible orange peel...not impressed.

That’s weird because I have owned one for 2 years and follow the larger social media platforms and don’t see this often. I am wondering if it’s the new engines. The hemi’s are solid. Good for you at least

That's my main frustration here, she doesn't add much to the conversation.

@@benchmark3332 Yeah it's really sad too

Tell me all about it. As a Kia owner, can confirm the insurance has been going up for years. Shame too, my Soul is reliable, generally cheep on maintenance, is solid enough, and didn't cost a fortune to finance. The Charger is also suffering because even "fleet sales" have gone in other directions to other and better manufacturers. Outside of Ram and Jeep, they are not doing well in the marketplace...

Usa is gone dude. The nazis saw that.

Thanks, admittedly a thought. Interestingly,both my Vehicles are 4 CYL (2007 Canyon, 2015 Journey)..,,,

@@opera93 4 cilinder line engines are great engines. Enough room to work on. Straight six engines are great at pulling trailers. If you only drive around for personal use and roads are decent (no 4x4 required) 4 cilinder engines make alot of sense. But no multi media garbage and turbo’s. Those things will shorten the lifespan of a vehicle by half at least.

The old straight sixes would not break 4x4 drive lines like current 300 hp v8 trucks will. That’s why on back roads and when used for hauling those 1 ton trucks were allmost indestructible. And I don’t think the USA and Europe will keep their industry on the level people will be able to replace their ride every 4 years or will be able to buy affordable replacements for wiring harnesses or replace turbo’s on the cheap.

Turbos

My wife loves hers. Awd 200hp+ and gets over 30mpg consistently out of a regular gas engine.

Is a lifted Camry.

Generally, yes. Even the Toyota Corolla Cross has a chance to do well because of it's lower price and that Toyota reliability. Same for Honda, but they are usually higher in price.

Yeah, I bought brand new Toyota Tundra in 2007 for $34000 and with the prices of new trucks that equipped being around $60000 I will keep my Toyota...

Absolutely, I got a loaded 2001 Ranger that just keeps going so I just keep driving it. Why buy new? Maybe, every six months I got to spend 2 or 3 hundred bucks to fix something. Beats a new truck payment.

your tahoe is absolutely better than the new ones. those gmt800 trucks are incredibly durable

Yeah those things are not selling at all. Even back when they were just getting started in production, they still just sat at lots. I talked to a salesman around me, said he had the only 2 for sale within 300 miles, and only ended up selling one taking a $16,000 loss on it. Not the market that want electric cars.

The lighting is selling with large discounts and over sized tow hooks

Well, the problem is when the Ford lightning debut they claim that you can buy the pro model for $40k total bullshit. The guy I talk to you he had an xlt his cost $75,000 now $68k after rebate and if you want the premium it’s over 90 grand that’s a $15,000 more than your average F150! Until these damn dealers stop marking these things up they’re gonna sit!

Same…I was at a Honda dealer in the Minneapolis area last Saturday helping my son buy a pre owned Mazda CX-9….and the dealership was packed….

Stupid news: Electric cars are not selling. Tesla: hold my beer.

@@benchmark3332 yeah seems like Tesla is the only brand I see really on the road as far as electric vehicles 10 years ago it was like seeing a unicorn. Now I see 20 day and that just driving around Wisconsin in rural areas by the way, not big cities! I do see quite a few Mustang mach e’s Chevy bolts a few lightning Rivian’s but nothing like Tesla there everywhere now!

Why buy one?

Yeah huge red flag. He is just trying to profit off his new trophy wife's assets. Dumb kids will love it.

I died laughing 😅

Tyler isn't very good at fact checking... The other detail he missed is where he said Tesla doesn't publish sales numbers. It's a publicly traded company, they report total sales each quarter which gets all the stock investors in a frenzy if sales don't meet estimates.

I have driven the Mach E, it’s actually a fantastic car, now that you can charge it at a Tesla supercharger it’s significantly more appealing

Also my wife rented one and it constantly was searching for the key. Had to have it towed.

@@meastwood274 That kind of sounds like your wife's problem and not necessarily the car's fault. xD

@@fenrirslip hahahah it was a computer issue both times. 🤡

They really botched the GW. Stories of them breaking down on the way home from the dealer after purchase. Watched a video of a guy whom a few days after purchase an audible alarm started going off while driving that no one could figure out how to stop. Took a month for Stellantis corporate to figure out, Have seen video's on the fit& finish, huge uneven gaps in body panels, on one Waggoner the emblem "Grand Waggoner" was even on crooked.

Nailed it. Jeep has to sell 70% of all Wranglers as the ridiculous 4xe models. But all anyone wants are the V6's.

Yep, though from anecdotal evidence (not necessarily the case country-wide) some of the blame goes on the consumer because so many people especially ones interested in cars at dealerships will get wowed by all the bigger cars with fancy tech, screens and motorized features and often shun more basic, smaller models that are typically more reliable and more financially sound for their budget. Then later they will complain about how cars are getting too expensive, too big and have too much tech. Lol. Though for sure the number one problem of newer cars being too expensive and that dealers have a hard time selling is the government and their strict requirements to 'save the planet'. They usually screw most things up they get involved in but its definitely gotten worse the last 10 years than before in the automotive industry. They would at least offer a naturally aspirated engine option in most vehicles 10 years ago but half of models don't even have a larger, non-turbo engine option.

What is the law requiring a specific mix of ev versus ice cars?

⁠when we bought our JL 4cyl we couldn’t even find a V6. I guess everyone holds on to those. 😩

​@EdDale44135 there isn't one, he's just a right winger.

Yeah I was thinking the same thing as Tyler was talking about the Rav4.

Globally or in the US? Most of their new models are restyled Geely models built in China now, you'd really have to be a bit clueless to buy one - but I would imagine they are doing better in Asia now.

@@Beer_Dad1975no they are not. You’re just making things up lol. Volvo engineers and builds all their cars. In exceptional to one vehicle that’s not even available in the US. EM90. Otherwise Volvo helps Geely builds cars and Geely funds Volvo.

@@Beer_Dad1975so many wrong. Sales in US up more than 15%. It is actually China that brings the total down. Only as mentioned the ML90 that is a re-badged Geely car. Only to be sold in China. Talking US, no cars sold there is made in China. Either in Charleston US or in Europe.

@@Spoolingturbski Nothing made up about it, Volvo is now owned and managed by Geely. It's a majority owned Chinese company now. Some design and engineering work is still done in Sweden (bet that won't last much longer as they will want to cost cut by centralizing), and cars that are not based on Geely platforms are manufactured in various other places - but almost all of their electric models are mostly built in China at the Geely mega-factory - with a few exceptions depending on the market they are being built for. Chinese car manufacturers are buying out recognized brand names so they can use them to sell Chinese cars at European car prices to people who don't know any better. The money goes to the Chinese Oligarch who owns Geely - and he's a high ranking member of the CCP - so if you buy a Volvo, you are supporting the CCP.

@@Spoolingturbski I used to teach English at the factory back in 2011; they're built in Chengdu, China. If they were going to leave China they'd go to SE Asia because labor costs (and Malaysia already has a car manufacturing infrastructure with Ford and Toyota and previously, Proton).

If MadTV spoofed automobile manufacturer it would be Stellantis

I said in comments when the Jeep Grand Wagoneer first debuted that they blew it - Terrible pricing and naming structure, no heritage design cues, looks too much like a Grand Cherokee from the front - It seemed like a dud from the very beginning in my eyes - Having a 6 figure Grand Wagoneer priced like a Cadillac Escalade and an identical-looking "non-Grand" Wagoneer version priced like a Chevy Tahoe seemed like a disastrous idea from the start... And if Chrysler/Stellantis simply threw some wood inserts in the exterior door handles or made the "Grand Wagoneer" lettering on the front doors out of wood I think even that may have been a creative and modern way to pay homage to the original instead of just making it look simply like an overpriced Grand Cherokee XL.

There are decent Compass models in my area for around 32k and that's pretty fully loaded.

Except the Chargers and 300s use pretty universal parts that have been being used for years in a ton of other Chrysler vehicles.

@@drunkhusband6257 I totally agree but it is a pattern you see in sales every time models end

It was originally a Hudson nameplate that AMC got via a merger. AMC revived the name in 1970 for their Rambler replacement. Then it went away again. And now it’s back again.

​@@WaywardBoyzNash Motors merged with The Hudson Motor Car Company in 1954 to create American Motors AMC. Hudson originally had the Hornet.

Tell me how good it is when you pay it off

@johnasbury4997 perhaps for the money, I'll give a shot. 8 year warranty on the battery makes me feel better.

I drove a Tesla S and a Mach E. The Mach E was sooooo much better!

Correct! The manufacturers went hog wild in jacking up the MSRP's +30% PLUS with NO INCENTIVES since COVID??? Compare the price of a 2019 F150 XLT to a 2024 F150 XLT on an "Out the door" cost basis IT IS INSANE. I am so happy driving my excellently maintained 2001 F150 XLT!!

I have been seeing Jeep ads recently for 20% off MSRP. The price gouging is starting to backfire.

Current gas prices are hurting as well, i personally still have my first car since i was 16 in 2016 (2008 chevy trailblazer) i am about to finish college somewhat soon, and i do want to get a sporty/fun car as everyone i have known either have supped up jeeps/ trucks or sporty v6 cars/ v8 muscles. To long i have been drooling over these and want to get a newer manual challenger or mustang that im not going to try and race but just have fun in ya know? But these car prices along with the gas prices.. it might not be in the book for me right now even though im going into cyber security and make somewhat decent money

@@slite3276 I have a 24 Mustang GT, gets better gas mileage than my '16 Tacoma did because that 10 speed makes it run 1400 RPM at 80mph instead of 5k RPM in the taco. Just did a 1000 mile eclipse road trip in a 23 Charger RT and it was pretty much the same. Modern V8s are amazing engines and it is sad to watch them go.

@@porkrind im pretty sure ford is gonna keep making v8 mustangs, and honestly i am somewhat interested to see (if its true) what the v6 twin turbo challenger could do.. but in saying that i have always wanted a v8 engine car. So with the look of things if car prices go down some more then i might end up getting a 2025/2026 ish mustang

@slite3276 I hope they keep producing the 5.0 coyote for a long time. It's an insane engine and so much fun to drive, but the Mustang GT is the last standing muscle car. Even though I've only owned new cars, I'd recommend getting something a couple of years older with a better package than you could afford new. At least until you can afford it new.

Charger RTs were over 40k even in 2020, how in the hell did you get one for 31k?

bruh. Topped out Escalades used to be in the 60s. Nobody with $180k to buy a car is putting it into a GM product.

I feel like I'm in an alternate universe. 180k for a Cadillac. 😂

That isn't a normal Escalade. That must be the Escalade V. Nearly 700 hp. Still too much money

I don't see how people justify it , I'd rather have a used paid off car that I'm not worried about everywhere I park

There's a 2020 Bentayga Speed on Autotempest for $170k. $180k Cadillac, unreal.

Yeah and the best part of going into a Tesla store is the employees don't work on commission so they freely let you test drive vehicles and don't hound you trying to get a sale when you return. They are there to answer questions and direct you to the website if you are interested in a purchase.

Where can you get the days in inventory data on Tesla's?

My XC90 Recharge isn’t perfect (largely infotainment issues), but it’s unnecessarily quick and we’re averaging 3.5L/100km in our first 12000KMs… in a 7 seater SUV.

Then Volvo symbol is the symbol of Iron. Swedish Iron was well known when Volvo started and Volvo used lots of Swedish steel. Yes male symbol is the same but its not why Volvo use it.

nobody knows about volvo or gives them a fair chance. and the geeley situation is often misundersood.
