With the discontinuation of the 300 sedan, the Chrysler brand is down to just 1 remaining model, the Pacifica minivan.


In the last year, Chrysler pulled the plug on their most recent concept, a near production spec crossover EV called the Airflow






Yesterday, after pushing a ton of promotion for a big announcement on 2/13, they released their next concept and a reimagined vision for the Chrysler brand. Introducing the Halycon...
















what are they doing? How lost and wayward is this brand? They're down to 1 model, they nixed a production ready concept in a popular segment and their big announcement is a digitally rendered concept that will never be built hyping pie in the sky technology that doesn't exist? Wireless charging and unlimited range? Great sign me up Chrysler.

as long as they keep making the pacifica, I dont care. That is by far the best minivan on the market.

Until the battery dies on that piece of shite and the car has to be towed. They are garbage.

Nope. It is good, but not the best Stow and go seats are poo compared to the competition unless you're using the van solely to work

Chrysler has been a zombie brand for years. Inevitable ever since they merged / got bought out by fricking Fiat.

I assume this would require the roads to have coils and charging technology built in.

As if

Stellantis must be trying to leave the US market. They are just killing themselves it seems with pricing and decisions.

Daimler or whatever they are called these days is the Sears of the auto industry.

Ram yesterday, did debut their Ram Ramcharger EV pickup which actually looks like it could be a hit if the price is right. It's a battery powered EV truck with 140 miles of pure EV range but it's got a pentistar V6 under the hood to act as a generator to recharge the battery. That's something nobody else is doing and could actually make a functional electric pickup. Electric range for your commute and in town driving, generator supplemented power for extended range trips and towing. Interesting idea.

What are the odds it isn't upwards of 80-100k?

I like that you can't hold a phone talk on it while driving most places but you can have a giant ipad right in front of your face.

They'll be awesome once self-driving cars are the norm.
