☆ Gerald C. Meyers, C.E.O. Who Paved Way for the S.U.V., Dies at 94
  + stars: | 2023-07-12 | by ( Neal E. Boudette | More About Neal E. Boudette | ) www.nytimes.com   time to read: +1 min
His death was announced by his daughter Susan Meyers. In 1970, as a senior manufacturing executive, Mr. Meyers was tasked with evaluating a possible acquisition of Kaiser Jeep. But the board proceeded anyway — and put Mr. Meyers in charge. To appeal to more consumers, he upgraded existing Jeeps with better engines, suspensions and interiors, and directed the development of a new wagon, the Jeep Cherokee. Sales soon surged, steadying AMC’s shaky finances and driving consumer interest in roomy off-road vehicles.

☆ 2024 Dodge Hornet R/T: An Italian Stallion, Made for America
  + stars: | 2023-06-30 | by ( Dan Neil | ) www.wsj.com   time to read: 1 min
SPORTY STANCE The 2024 Dodge Hornet R/T is a sport-tuned plug-in hybrid, with up to 288 hp and 383 lb-ft of gas-electric output, packaged with performance upgrades such as Brembo brakes, Koni dampers and the PowerShot boost feature, helping the compact crossover from 0 to 60 mph in 5.6-seconds. Photo: DodgeOUR GUEST has come a long way to be with us. Born near sunny Napoli, in the Kingdom of Stellantis , it travels under the name of the Dodge Hornet R/T but was born an Alfa Romeo Tonale, which rhymes with giornale. Dodge needed a compact crossover in its North American showrooms; and the historically dubious “Hornet” nameplate was available. The last Hornet model in series-production (1970-1977) was built by American Motors Corporation.

☆ Who's next? Chinese EVs drive Stellantis' Jeep off the road

Some elements of the Jeep joint venture's failure are particular to Stellantis - and the former car groups that feature among its 14 brands. But data compiled for Reuters by consultancy LMC Automotive expose a problem shared by a number of other global carmakers: plummeting Chinese plant usage. Reuters GraphicsThe Jeep failure in China happened less than two years after Stellantis was formed by the merger of PSA and Fiat Chrysler. "Chinese companies actually have an early mover advantage because they embraced electrification faster than the foreign companies were willing to," he added. While fully-electric cars make up an average of 5% of models foreign carmakers sell in China, they account for 30% of Chinese carmakers' models, according to LMC data.
