"I'm not going quietly into that new reality. The requirements get more stringent every single year and, at some point, we gotta do something."
See, for me that's very clever execuspeak answer. It implies an answer where in fact there is none. Most people would read, "...we gotta do something" and assume that means changes to the product to embrace the future of motoring. To me, I read the preface, "I'm not going quietly into that new reality..." and think that entire statement could just as easily mean that there is no future for Dodge brand at all and he is fighting to keep it alive as long as possible. "...at some point, we gotta do something" could also mean that at some point they're going to be forced to terminate the Dodge brand. His entire statement is deliberately vague because if Stellantis doesn't have a future for Dodge he doesn't want to let the cat out of the bag as it would potentially hurt sales of existing product. If there IS product, why wouldn't he just say, "we have some exciting stuff in the pipeline and I'm really looking forward to our future at Dodge." It's that vagueness combined with no positive twist that gives me serious concern.
Point is, a major publication asked the head of Dodge point blank whether the brand has a future and he declined to give a straight answer.
Allpar used to publish the brand product plans from the executive presentations. Hasn't both Dodge and Chrysler been absent entirely from the last few of these?
