I would assume most of the :truk: sales increase contribute the trump supporters think they're going to be richer due to it's tax cuts.

I also assume Alfa is outselling, because dat crossover.

I'm really curious to see what happens to :doge:

Some of the coolest car products on the market, but sales figures don't lie. With Ram being it's own brand (and I'm sure those sales will tick up when the new model starts rolling out), :doge: is going to be in peril I think. Maybe they'll just make a Hellcat powered Journey or something?

Chrysler is 5/7 :butwhy: at this point.

Canada FCA plants got hundreds of millions to shape up recently. They took a mid Jan break to improve the plant/shutdown activities soooo maybe that had something to do with lower car sales?

Buick sold 13k vehicles in Jan. Toyota sold 24k RAV4s in the same month...
Buick Lacrosse is the only non Cross tranny doing well... 3k units last month which was a pretty big jump YOY.

They just need to break the 900hp mark in the challenger. It'll fix everything.

Aftermarket gurus already improved on all that power the company left on the table. No need to wait.

Yeah like everyone is willing to pay almost a $100k for a non-luxurious barge. Sad but true.
