An overdue departure, IMO

What's even more surprising is that the grandson of the original Chrysler corp raised money and reached out to buy Chrysler back and Stellantis said no. Here was an easy sale, deadweight gone and money in the bank.Stellantis is DONE. Will be sold piecemeal to other automakers.
Very poor move on the Grandson's part. The problems run very deep. RAM will be sold. Jeep will be sold-to automakers with deeper pockets than what the Grandson has raised-and will have to raise.What's even more surprising is that the grandson of the original Chrysler corp raised money and reached out to buy Chrysler back and Stellantis said no.

Did they actually put an offer on the table? All I saw was more or less a social media post that they wanted it back?What's even more surprising is that the grandson of the original Chrysler corp raised money and reached out to buy Chrysler back and Stellantis said no.

Everyone involved has already made their money.Bet he gets his golden parachute retirement regardless of his performance.
Do you mean Stellantis will sell the former Chrysler parts - or Stellantis will get bought ?Stellantis is DONE. Will be sold piecemeal to other automakers.
Love it when someone brings the facts.Do you mean Stellantis will sell the former Chrysler parts - or Stellantis will get bought ?
Stellantis has one of the lowest debt loads in the entire auto industry - like $30B long term debt on $200B in sales. There literally the best in the industry except for Tesla, 6X better than Ford, 4X better than GM.
Just about every auto OEM is going to need to restructure with the slow down in global sales and higher rates. However Stellantis has the balance sheet to do it. In fact, they may actually by in a position to buy someone.
I think all the Stellantis haters here are going to be very dissapointed as this plays out.Do you mean Stellantis will sell the former Chrysler parts - or Stellantis will get bought ?

Hmmm, so Stellantis off-loads the Chrysler parts on to BYD. BYD sells there designs under Chrysler badge? Not a bad plan, but they would still need to be built here to get around the tarrif's.Is this how China buys it's way into US/Canada auto markets?
Stellantis isn't going anywhere but they do have some serious problems in the US. Pricing, huge holes in their product line up are killing them.
I hate to say it, but Chrysler and Dodge brands should just go away. Get Jeep and Ram pricing inline, focus on SUVs and pickups. Launch a Maverick competitor.
I'd like to see them keep a few cars (either Dodge or Chrysler) in their lineup. Not everyone wants a SUV or a truck.I hate to say it, but Chrysler and Dodge brands should just go away.
