Ron has stated Jim Wilder has left Stellantis. Took a buyout for early retirement. Wow. Guess it might really be lights out on performance?

not surprised, sadly. he seems like a real cool dude and would be amazing to sit down over a beer and hear the inside scoop on this amazing period in history at Dodge.

Can't blame him. Get out while he can with a buyout.

Gilles is supposedly leaving too.

A lot of talent has left in recent times.

Party is over.

It truly has been a great run of cars, I think history will look back fondly on it.

I wasn't into newer Dodge/Chrysler products at all growing up and into adulthood, but once the SRT vehicles started coming out I was like damn, these cars are awesome! Bought a 2006 Chrysler 300C SRT8 and haven't looked back since :)

It took me 40 years to openly accept the newer technology. That all changed, when I put the 6.4 and Nag into my cuda. No added controls or nanny devises. I only wish my 300C and Hellcat could have been purchased that way.

They’re getting rid of everyone in leadership roles with US roots that have been with the company for years and replacing them with outsiders that, IMO, don’t know shit about what the US market wants.

They just seem to believe that what they're doing is much better than what Americans like and we will just accept it. Wrong.

The majority of Americans aren't paying these stupid high prices along with the lousy quality control.
