We currently have a Stellantis Thread, here:

https://www.mustang7g.com/forums/threads/stellantis-ceo-abruptly-resigns.164346/

The web site search (upper right) is often pretty good at searching for an existing thread. Google is better still, just reference, "mustang7g", with the keywaords.

I've read several articles on his leaving, none of which mention EVs. All cite cost cutting, stale product line, poor sales, high product prices, lack of vision.

Along with the above, there is a General Automotive and Off-Topic lounge further below in the main menus. Many tracking a sector of the industry or a specific topic enjoy launching their own threads, where they either contribute information or engage in the discussion.

Literally the only thing about this I like is the side view. Even then, the roofline slopes down at an awkward angle like a damn Chrysler Crossfire. I understand it's a nod to the e-type roofline. But many have criticized how ugly the e-type hardtop is relative to the e-type convertible. I don't know why you would use that as your styling inspiration.

literally the ONLY thing I like about the concept car is how close to the ground it is. Too bad then that the production car will look like it’s on stilts in comparison.

you have to wonder why they went with this. There really is nothing attractive about it. Maybe the headlights? They’re kinda cool. But they look out of place on the car. It kind of looks like the Lexus GX - a big, thick suv. Jaguar went EV, so it should be able to work some extremely sleek design. Instead, it looks like a 1970s Lincoln boat.

Tesla already did the unique design thing with Cybertruck. But they did it right. There was a very clear cyberpunk design aesthetic, a clear demographic, and they didn’t have to get weird to market it. It’s probably the most original design in the automotive industry, including this thing that the Jag CEOs children made.

basically they sat back watching Tesla be bold, daring, and unique and reaping the benefits. Then they copied the idea, but SAID they didn’t.

this car is basically just bad design wrapped up in bad marketing.

Then theirs is the reveal. I was expecting James Bond to enthusiastically extol the virtues, make Aston a distant memory. Thought I’d see the car emerging from the ocean unscathed, towing a cybertruck that was itself towing a bus, our speeding a z06, out handling a Porsche, picking up a hot chick from the most exclusive nightlife zone, etc.

No. We got a crusty guy sounding as disinterested as possible while talking up questionable design inspirations, all the while just standing there, surrounded by cars that just sat there.

It truly reeked of last gasps before death.

I really hope someone capable buys this company. The legacy is too great to let rot like that.

That’s just the box, the car is inside

It's rough man. The side looks ok, the rear has grown on me very slightly, but the front end is just terrible imo.
