I thought these were successful and profitable lines. Why would they be dropped?

Because muh climate change has somehow convinced companies to lose billions of dollars making cars nobody wants to buy and 60% of people can’t afford.

Probably due to mpg standards. Govt requires manufacturers to average a certain fuel efficiency and Biden has increased that amount. Cars with big souped up Hemis bring the average down and Chryslers most profitable lines are Ram trucks and Jeeps so the muscle cars must go.

While I don’t like Chrysler due to poor quality I have appreciated the fact that they ignored the green bullshite longer than other companies. Chrysler made their name decades ago by producing powerful and fast vehicles. They never were known for top quality or luxury but rather the iconic muscle cars they created. They held on to that as long as they could and I expect they may be the first of the big 3 to go under if the green/EV bullshite continues. Jeep, Ram, and the Chrysler Minivans are profitable but I’m not sure how they’ll meet the increasing mpg standards. They have no EVs or compact or full size sedans now.
