Well folks, it finally happened. The screen in your pickup truck… your last bastion of peace from the chaos of unskippable advertisements… now plays popup ads. Not even subtle ones. We’re talking full-dash, head-unit-commandeering infomercial panels in your RAM 1500, like you’re driving a Times Square billboard on wheels.

Stellantis is barely an American brand

[–] Mpatch@lemmy.world 3 points 1 day ago

Stellantis is leaving ram Chrysler dodge gona be on their own soon. They tarnished the brand to much to make it salvagble/profitable.

Back when covid drove the prices up. They didn't have a logistics problem like the other manufacturers because they didn't upgrade their lineup. They just re sold outdated models for way too much money. Hence, the ram classic. But now all the leases and financing terms are ending, and you have a customer base that won't get shit all for trade in to upgrade to a new model/ used market. So over about a 3-4 year span of worth of customers aren't in much of a possition to buy a new veichle.
