Why is the Hemi Going Away

[FishOnOne]

So here's the official reason why Stellantis is ditching the Hemi. To add injury to insult the Hemi is a cash cow for Tesla.

But the MPG is not. What does the Hurricane in the Wagoneer/Grand Wagoneer get, 1 MPG better than the Hemi?

If Chrysler wants to get away from the fines, they will need to do more than transition from the Hemi

And to the comment about the Tesla displacing whatever Toyota as “best selling car”, their sales are still a fraction of what any of the Big 3 sell in trucks…..

Back in April I drove a GC Summit with a Hemi rental and swore the engine would rattle a bit when cold started in ~60 weather in Ohio. Was not overally impressed with it so yes I would also prefer a boosted I6 engine. Another thing I didn't like was the leather liner on the dash board was rinkled and pealing off the dash.

Sure you did. ;);)

Hey it’s his story, he can embellish all he wants….
Although can dashes crack from looking at ugly people or something? Cause I’ve had a buncha Dodge/Chrysler vehicles . Not all new ones either. There’s a 24 year old Dodge in the driveway now.
Common theme w me, never had a cracked (or wrinkled/peeling whatevs) dash on any of them.
Common theme with Fish, complain about the dashboards in all Chrysler products….

Yeah it was a figment of my imagination...LOL Anyone who doesn't acknoledge Dodge/Ram truck dashboards crack is in complete denial.

Vehicle came from Cincinnati Kentucky airport so no major heat in that part of the country.

It would help if you figured out how to comment on a post, yours is a real mess to read. YOU are commenting under Grit's name. Grit I think you should file some sort of a Internet Claim against this person.....

The major insurance companies like State Farm have cancelled all new home owner insurance business in the state of California due to wild fires and some other problems specific to California. I can't imagine anyone wanting to move to California.

Governor Newsom... Rome is burning!

Well the mods have let the jab at Democratic governor stand for 5 days. Wonder if anybody has seen what is happening with homeowner's insurance in the state where Swastikas and the governor's name fly at same demonstrations?
Many on this site say we can't afford to take any action to reduce climate change, but just like wild fires, somebody must pay for the damage caused by hurricanes and sea level rise on the gulf and east coast plus drought/flood damage in rest of country.

It's because the morons in the US and Canada let the fires get out of hand before they attack them plain and simple.

Actually, it's the opposite. They attack them immediately, putting them out before they can burn the fuel that has accumulated, leaving even more fuel for next time.

The reason the ones in Quebec are so out of control is because they are in remote areas that are inaccessible, and dumping water on them from airplanes is equvalent to pi$$ing in the ocean. They have to burn themselves out.

If the greenies would let the loggers in to clean the place up every 10 or 20 years there wouldn't be any fuel for the forest fires.

In NW WA they used to maintain the Forest Service Roads. Now they want to spend on Light Rail instead.

I have seen plenty fires they simply don't hit hard with chemicals right away. OH, that may be a no no with the greenies.

I can't tell if you are serious, with the smiley face at the end of the sentence.

Your link is about a train out of China. China. Are you seriously using China as an example of saving the environment??

He’s serious. Delusional, but serious…

Why don't you come up here and show us how it's done. Seriously one of the most ill thought out comments I've read on here. Why not go with the conspiracy theorists that the government started them as well to back the theory of climate change.

Give your head a good shake.
