And here’s a crap of them with other mopars. Clearly, these “new” vehicles are riding on the same Mercedes platform used for the last decade.

Let’s speculate!

Edit: 10am reveal for the vehicles!!

Some obscure limited edition from the past being resurrected.

I can assume that it’s the same old shit with a bigger engine because this is how Mopar operates.

IT’S A NEW FORD TEMPO YAAAAAAAAAAAS

Refresh Challenger, for sure becasue of whats next to it.

Aren’t the new big Dodges expected in 2018? The Charger got a big refresh last year. So new bumpers(whole front clip?) the Challenger is my guess.

MOPAR knows 2 things: Muscle Cars, and BIG ASS TRUCKS. This seems to be the former, although I hear that R&D is working hard at combining the two.

And is exactly why I’m a fanboy.

I’m pretty sure they both got refreshed in 2015. And I read new gen models were pushed back to 2019.

Whatever it takes to keep the ancient ones alive.

And exactly why they’ve been on the verge of collapse for 40 years.

Pacifica Hellcat and Hellcat Hellcat.

Wild-ass guess: With the demise of the Viper, need some place to put the V10. And, might as well throw a supercharger on it, too - I mean, the stock V10 isn’t as powerful as the Hellcat.

Say hello to the Hell-lion.

New Jeep Compass - based on extended Renegade platform (I have this on good authority)

Jeep Pickup (call it Comanche, Gladiator, Wrangler P/U, whatever) based on Dodge Ram platform.

Fite me.

Also, they are not new models but new special editions I beleive.

I don’t own Chrysler stock, I’m cool with it.

In order to make more sales in Europe Chrysler are recreating and modernising two classic designs that literally some people bought in Europe. The PT Cruiser and 90's Voyager.

Where are they revealing it? What is the event? I wonder why there isn't any coverage on fp or autoblog.

Fucking dammit, nevermind.

Apparently, it’s a Dodge-only reveal.

Don’t type hellcougar into a search engine at work...

I see far more of these over here than I can imagine. Also note that the Pt Cruiser came with a Diesel here. See my photos from last night.

I can see that. I know they did have a development ‘Vert a few years ago.

Ding ding ding

Everyone knows FCA can’t afford to do new things. Hell, they can’t even afford to pay people enough to stay on board to manage carry-over issues.

They’ve gotta still have the tooling somewhere.

Actually they are doing a lot of new things right now.......so thats incorrect. As for the pay....well thats getting better at least.

Well that’s incredibly disappointing.

yamahog > StndIbnz, Drives a MSRT8
08/16/2016 at 14:28

Lots of new things until they’re killed off mid development in yet another short-sighted attempt to save money. And when I left, they told me they’d have give my entire team (including people with 15 to 20+ years) raises in order to match my new offer. I genuinely worry for my friends still working there :/

Hopefully it doesn’t all go away in cost cutting measures like I’ve seen a few projects go. Can’t speak for vehicle though, only powertrain. At least I make as much as my friend at Ford now....or almost as much.
