Whichever company owns Chrysler has been flailing around from one financial disaster to another for my whole life, and I ain’t that young anymore.
At this point in the car industry, the logos and brands are playing musical chairs with one another
Is ram really failing? I see those shitty trucks spewing black smog everywhere around here.
Stellantis had a disastrous 2024. This is mostly a joke as they are still a massive company, but you understand losing 70% of profits in a year is quite the drastic thing for one.
Don’t worry. Angry old white guys with maga hats and stickers of a little kid peeing on something, maybe a punisher sticker, will keep ram in business.
Don’t forget the sticker of a tattered black and blue flag that may or may not have a swastika in there somewhere.
FIAT failing so hard it gets to fail twice
Looks like Dodge is in there twice too.
You mean the Dodge// and the RAM logo? Because RAM was split off into its own brand awhile ago for its trucks. Technically their new pickups are RAM 1500 without any Dodge branding. In practice though people still call them Dodge trucks and they still sell from the same place so nothing has really changed.
Edit: and their work vans. And for North America. Not sure about the global operations.
i worked for an insurance company for a while and you wouldn’t believe how many people called in to complain that they couldn’t find their trucks in the menu to get a insurance quote. They were looking under “Dodge” of course…
That’s funny, probably not for you though. It was a questionable choice by Stellantis so I see the confusion but also if you spent 5-6 figures on a vehicle you should probably know the proper name.
Fail It Again, Tony
I feel sorry for opel. They made the most out of what gm gave them, now they’re doing the same shit under psa.
Jeep is far from failing. And you’d have to pry my ram truck from my cold dead fingers.
Don’t worry, your RAM will die long before you do.
Your car is not gonna vanish, but Stellantis had a disastrous 2024. It is a conglomerate, so if the top fails every company under it does too.
Yeah the former ceo was definitely a bad choice.
I don’t remember seeing 1 jeep in China, but every mall has a Jeep clothing store.

And Harley Davidson.
They go hard on branding. They’re one of the few motorcycle brands that let you go for a test ride (others might have a special event day at a dealership where you can ride around the parking lot). If you go for it, expect to be suited up in all the Harley leathers by the sales guy. It’s not a motorcycle, it’s a branded lifestyle where you ride around sometimes.
They’re so big on branding the logo shape is just a preset now. There’s a local energy drink that uses their orange shield lol
GM not so far behind.
That’s their fault for killing the 2.6.
After having owned a few if these brands I decided I’d only own some Japanese, German or Korean cars. Never Italian or French. They are great the first 5 years or so, but age like milk. Owned an Opel and it was pretty good, but I guess it’s now off the list. Stellantis is the collection of the worlds least reliable cars.
I drive a 26 year old Skoda (VAG group) which has had not a single major repair, except for timing belts, a clutch, and other consumables.
VAG group
Volkswagen Group group
Volkswagen AG Group
Fiat stands for: Fix It Already Tomorrow
The irony is that the T stands for Torino, Turin, the city card are supposedly being built, while FIAT became the italian symbol for offshoring
