Stellantis Has Already Lost $2.7B This Year
The latest car news, reviews, and features. Stellantis is in a rough spot. Between multiple consecutive quarters of declining sales, increased trade costs and a string of delays releasing critical new products, the company announced Monday that it booked a 3.3 billion euro ($2.7 billion) loss in the first half of 2025. With U.S. sales dipping again (and by a chunky 25%) in Q2, it looks like 2025 is shaping up to be another grind for team Mopar and its European overseers. Here in the U.S., the company's sales have suffered from the one-two punch of disappearing product and skyrocketing prices, the latter of which hasn't been helped by recent policy shifts that punish its strategy of building several of its volume models across the border in Canada. The situation is even sketchier in Dodge showrooms, where Stellantis is forced to offset import duties on its Italy-built Hornet with cash incentives. An updated Compass, which occupies a similar space in Jeep's lineup, will be along at some point to help shore up small-car sales alongside a revived midsize Cherokee. After a string of crippling delays, the company's updated Ram 1500 truck lineup has been making its way into the hands of customers. As a result, sales of the half-ton are hovering close to their 2024 number. Ram is hoping to further invigorate pickup sales with the re-introduction of the 5.7-liter Hemi for 2026. Axed during the tenure of former CEO Carlos Tavares, the V8 will be paired with a mild hybrid system and commands a premium over the standard-output Hurricane I6. If you really want to hear the thump of that V8, be prepared to dig a little deeper into your wallet. There's no shortage of tumult overseas, either. While Stellantis has denied rumors that it is considering a sale of Maserati, it's obvious that it is seriously rethinking its existing and future brand portfolio. Americans shouldn't expect any more of the company's European lineups to make their way stateside anytime soon. Got a news tip? Let us know at tips@ .article-sidebar]:pt-0>

Mopar Has Over A Thousand New Ways To Modify Your Jeep, Dodge, Ram, Or Chrysler
View post: Walmart is selling a 'heavy-duty' $429 rolling storage cabinet for $190, and shoppers love the 'quality and design' View post: Lamborghini Wants To Give The Temerario Something The Gallardo Balboni Was Famous For Mopar Just Made Modifications Much Easier Stellantis has just announced that its Mopar division is expanding the range of accessories available to Chrysler, Dodge, Jeep, and Ram vehicles, with more than 1,000 newly available accessories on offer and more being regularly added from more than 40 supplying partners. 'We're partnering with our most trusted and popular suppliers to enhance convenience and accessory choice options for customers and dealers, providing a one-stop shop and sales experience,' said senior VP of Mopar North America, Darren Bradshaw. So what can buyers look forward to? Roof Rails, Suspension Lifts, And More The wide variety of accessories on the Mopar eStore includes things like a foldable cooler, floor liners, cargo bins, license plate frames, roof racks, roof boxes, racing stripes, stainless steel pedal covers, and lower suspension springs. Cat-back exhaust systems and cold air intake kits are also on offer for vehicles like the Durango, while off-roaders like the Jeep Gladiator and Wrangler benefit from upgrades like additional lighting systems, snorkel kits, tube doors, skid plates, and a Bilstein-based 2-inch lift kit. More aggressive bumpers, wheels, and fender flares are also on offer, while those who like to relax may be interested in an audio upgrade. Interestingly, Mopar has even added a couple of accessories for the all-electric Dodge Charger Daytona, though these are limited to things like floor mats, door sill guards, and charging cables. Dodge intended for the EV to be upgradeable using what it calls 'Power Crystals,' but with sales proving vastly underwhelming, it remains to be seen if there will be any demand for the extra power, especially with a gas model on the way. Personalization With Peace Of Mind If you're after something specific for your vehicle, it's worth browsing the extensive selection of accessories available for each model, because there's everything from rock sliders, dash cameras, and HitchFire grills to Tuffy Safes, bed caps, and various tents. Some of these installations will require more mechanical knowledge than others, but the best part of the Mopar program is that owners of new or old vehicles can have these enhancements ordered and fitted by their local dealer. 'The Mopar Affiliated Accessories program enhances customer experience by offering easy access to the most popular accessories that buyers crave,' according to Matt Godfrey, general sales manager at Golling Chrysler, Dodge, Jeep, and Ram. 'We've seen a definite increase in the amount of upfits from the program, and at the end of the day, our dealership and our customers win with this one-stop-shop option.' Each supplier – Thule, AccuAir, Competition Specialties, et cetera – is responsible for the warranties on their respective accessories, but Mopar has reviewed each of them to ensure proper fitment. As Mopar-approved upfits, these parts shouldn't impact the vehicle warranty. About the Author Sebastian Cenizo View Profile

NASCAR legend joins Goldberg in the ring for emotional WWE Farewell
WWE Hall of Famer Goldberg's wrestling career came to an end on July 12 in Atlanta but the biggest surprise for NASCAR fans came after the final bell. As the WWE Hall of Famer stood in the ring after his last match, NASCAR legend Tony Stewart walked out turning an already emotional goodbye into something even more special. Goldberg, 58, went out the only way he knew how, fighting. He faced World Heavyweight Champion Gunther at Saturday Night's Main Event XL and pushed the younger star to the limit in a hard-hitting final match. After the match the WWE legend thanked the Atlanta crowd and talked about his career and what's next, including a new car-themed show called Car-lectibles. But just when you thought the night was over Tony Stewart appeared first at ringside then in the ring with Goldberg. Standing side by side the two legends from different worlds shared a moment that immediately went viral. Also Read:: WWE legend reacts to Kyle Larson copying his iconic signature celebration Two Legends, One Ring The two men have been friends for a while. Last year they traded jokes about Toyotas and Mopar loyalty. A bit of friendly trash talk that fans loved. Seeing them together again, this time in the ring was the payoff. Tony Stewart wasn't just there to watch. He was part of the WWE moment. Fans quickly noticed Stewart's new lean look. He's been training hard for the NHRA drag racing season. 'Tony looks like he could get in the ring' one fan joked online. But there's a real connection between the two. Goldberg is a Mopar guy and a fixture in the racing world off screen. Stewart and his wife drag racer Leah Pruett are tied to that same world. Their shared love of cars, speed and performance made this crossover feel natural, two legends supporting each other in a new setting.

Dodge Charger Sows Chaos For Arkansas Troopers On Independence Day
Read the full story on The Auto Wire A guy in a Dodge Charger Scat Pack gave Arkansas troopers a real run for their money on Independence Day this year. Dashcam footage of the chase, which involved quite a few ASP units, shows the guy really uncorked the performance on his Mopar muscle car, almost literally running circles around dashcam footage starts with our camera car waiting for the purple Dodge Charger Scat Pack to come along. Sure enough, it blasts into the frame and the trooper gives chase as they both find their way around slower traffic blocking both lanes. From there, the suspect gaps the trooper big time, then disappears on the horizon. In other words, the guy just smoked the trooper after ditching one right before. Thankfully, ASP has troopers stationed all over and they're looking for the distinct Mopar. One spots the suspect, who'd probably feeling pretty smug by that point, and another chase ensues once the trooper goes code three. It's the same story as before, the Scat Pack easily gapping the cop car. However, that trooper stays on the suspect along with some other nearby units. From there, the footage jumps from one ASP unit to another because none of them can keep up with the guy. But ASP is swarming the area in an effort to put an end to the dangerous chase. We see one trooper almost run into a bystander's car, thankfully stopping just in time, as well as other close calls. At one point, towards the end of the pursuit, the suspect dodges a Stop Stick as it's thrown right in front of him, so the guy has good reflexes. Funny enough, what takes out the fleeing Dodge Charger Scat Pack in the end is a roundabout. The guy must've not realized one was coming up, and at his breakneck speed he just couldn't navigate it, wrecking out into the curb instead.
