#2021 Chrysler

[allthecanadianpolitics]

Chrysler parent Stellantis said Saturday it is recalling 1.46 million vehicles worldwide due to a software malfunction in the anti-lock brake system that can increase the risk of a crash. The recall includes nearly 1.23 million Ram 1500 trucks from the 2019 and 2021-2024 model years in the United States, as well as about 159,000 vehicles in Canada, 13,000 in Mexico and 61,000 outside North America. The U.S. National Highway Traffic Safety Administration said a software malfunction may result in the anti-lock brake system control module disabling the electronic stability control system. The issue means the vehicles do not comply with a federal motor vehicle safety standard on electric stability control systems.

Why Jeep And Dodge’s Parent Company Stellantis Is Struggling

Merging some of America’s legacy car brands with big European ones made Stellantis the world’s fifth largest automaker in 2021. But just a few years after the merger closed, Stellantis is struggling, and its troubles lie specifically with is North American business – home to Jeep, RAM, Dodge and Chrysler. Critics—including its own dealers—say the company raised prices too high and too fast, and didn’t focus enough on making good products. Its stock has plummeted. Watch the video to learn more.

P.S. Oops! My advice to Stellantis - get rid of too heavy, too expensive, too inefficient, very mediocre quality car brands intended only for Americans as soon as possible. These are not sellable products anywhere outside America and even there you will have trouble selling them!!! American car manufacturers haven't realized that America is no longer the centre of the world and your car fashion passion for uneconomical and badly overpriced cars is completely irrelevant to the rest of the global car market, and buyers are NOT INTERESTED...! We don't want American made ICE vehicles...!!!

I don''t like modern American car designs and technologies behind them absolutely: ugly boxes on whells...overweight, badly overpriced, low fuel efficiency, and extremely expensive to repair...If someone offers you to buy a modern American made ICE car in Europe, especially a used one, run away as far as you can....if you value your well-being and family budget...!!! Ford quality is also very mediocre at best...; GM is already out from car business in Europe, and actually it is a good thing!!! Modern American cars have a bad design and manufacturing quality and and unsuitable for European cities and motorways...huge fuel consumption due to excess weight, premature transmission problems, electrical failures and rust...are the daily life of American car owners in Europe...! There are not many such owners left! So, actually in fact, almost no one buys classic American car brands in Europe anymore....!!!!

Honda, Nissan aim to merge by 2026 in historic pivot

TOKYO (Reuters) - Honda and Nissan are in talks to merge by 2026, they said on Monday, a historic pivot for Japan's auto industry that underlines the threat Chinese EV makers now pose to the world's long-dominant legacy car makers.

The tie-up would create the world's third-largest auto group by vehicle sales after Toyota and Volkswagen.

It would also give the two companies scale and a chance to share resources in the face of intense competition from Tesla and more nimble Chinese rivals, such as BYD.

The merger of Honda, Japan's second-largest automaker, with Nissan, its No. 3, would be the biggest reshaping in the global auto industry since Fiat Chrysler Automobiles and PSA merged in 2021 to create Stellantis in a $52-billion deal.

Smaller Mitsubishi Motors, in which Nissan is top shareholder, was also considering joining and would make a decision by the end of January, the companies said.

The chief executives of all three held a joint press conference in Tokyo.

[follow-up-news]

Japanese automakers Nissan Motor and Honda Motor reportedly plan to enter into negotiations for a merger to better compete in the rapidly changing global automotive industry, the Nikkei newspaper reported on Tuesday. Honda and Nissan are considering operating under a holding company, and soon will sign a memorandum of understanding, according to the report. They also look to eventually bring Mitsubishi Motors, in which Nissan is the top shareholder with a 24% stake, under the holding company. “The reported content was not released by our company,” Honda said in an emailed statement. “As announced in March of this year, Honda and Nissan are exploring various possibilities for future collaboration, leveraging each other’s strengths. We will inform our stakeholders of any updates at an appropriate time.��� The merger report follows the two Japanese automakers entering into a strategic partnership in August on shared automotive components and software. Such a tie-up would be the largest automotive industry merger since Fiat Chrysler joined with France-based PSA Groupe to form Stellantis in January 2021.

How about you how have you been???

i’ve been so good!! went to nyc last weekend and it was INCREDIBLE. obviously saw jeremy jordan in the great gatsby but we managed to squeeze in so many other things in a short amount of time. went to the strand (biggest bookstore in nyc) and saw the high line which is an elevated rail line that was converted into a park. also had dinner at gayle’s broadway rose which is famous for its singing servers, everyone was SO talented and a lot of the staff are broadway performers who are in between jobs or even some current broadway ensemble performers! this is the same place where i saw andrew barth feldman and didn’t say anything to him lol.

next day we woke up early and walked through central park to the upper west side. had coffee at ralph’s which is connected to the ralph lauren flagship store. it was the best iced chai latte and pain au chocolat i’ve EVER had. we also walked to the met and took pictures on the steps (didn’t go in bc we had no time). then after gatsby we walked to bryant park (a large chunk of it was closed so they could set up the ice skating rink), the ny public library (which was hosting some kind of event that night so there were all these candles on the steps which was very pretty), and grand central station. we also walked to the chrysler building then realized it is in fact a place of work and would not be open at 9pm lol. then ubered to jfk at like 6am on sunday and that was the trip! on the way to new york we did take the tram to jamaica station and then the long island railroad to penn station, but we didn’t want to deal with all that the morning we left because it took us like 2.5 hours to get from landing at the airport to our hotel in midtown/times square.

wow sorry for talking so much but it was a very fun trip!! wish it could’ve lasted longer. it was rough transitioning back to reality this week with my job, but i had choir rehearsal wednesday and went to my brother’s band concert last night so it hasn’t been all bad. also saw the northern lights last night so that was cool!

oh forgot to mention stage dooring after gatsby! i’ve been to one other broadway show (aladdin) but it was in 2021 so nobody was stage dooring bc of covid. so this was a new very cool experience! we got to meet 4 of the actors and get pictures and they signed our playbills! we met the daisy buchanan understudy, the actor for meyer wolfsheim, the george wilson understudy, and the actor for jordan baker. jeremy did not stage door (not that i expected him to lol) but everyone started screaming at one point so i guess they saw him walk out of a different door? he was OUT of there so fast though, i didn’t see him lol.

How Peugeot Caused an Advertising Stampede

In this series, Squideo has examined the best ways to turn advertising content into gold. Now that we’ve broken down the eight key ingredients, it’s time to dive deep into some examples of stellar advertising. This week, the advert in question was picked by Squideo’s Account Director, Adam Shelton.

When asked why this Peugeot advert had become his favourite, Adam said: “It accomplished everything an advert is meant to. It’s memorable, it’s unique and it keeps the product front and centre. Plus the bit with the elephant is hilarious.”

The Peugeot Roars

You don’t need to be a driver to have heard of Peugeot. You’ll have encountered this French brand from buying your first bicycle to equipping your kitchen. Peugeot was founded in 1810 – over 200 years’ ago – by the Peugeot family who retained majority shares in the automotive company until 2014. Peugeot manufactured a vast variety of products in its early years, from hand-held saws to pepper grinders.

Eventually they branched out into bicycle production, car manufacturing and motorcycle making. Amazingly, they still continue to make kitchen tools under Peugeot Saveurs. Cycles Peugeot and Peugeot Motorcycles are also still on the go, and they make vehicles for motor racing events under Peugeot Sport. Up until 1986, they even had their own cycling team which won ten titles at the Tour de France.

Like many car manufacturers, Peugeot have acquired other brands and ownership of this company has changed hands repeatedly. In the 20th century, Peugeot took over Hotchkiss, Chenard-Walcker, Citroën and Chrysler Europe. As of 2021, Peugeot is owned by Stellantis – a multinational automotive manufacturing corporation which was created after the merger of major American, French and Italian manufacturers. A member of the Peugeot family is part of Stellantis’ senior management, demonstrating the power and influence Peugeot has built and maintained since 1810.

2 Fast 2 Peugeot

Created by Euro RSCG of Milan-Italy, The Sculptor was released in 2003 to critical acclaim – winning numerous international awards. The car promoted in the advert, the Peugeot 206, was released in 1998 as a replacement of the 205 model. Within ten years, the 206 had become Peugeot’s best-selling car.

The advert was so popular that fifteen years later the BBC show Top Gear recreated it in celebration of the Peugeot 206’s anniversary. On its twentieth anniversary, Peugeot also released a recreation of the advert with the Peugeot 208 replacing the 206. To accomplish this, several months were spent at Ajeenkya D Y Patil University in 2002 where engineers painstakingly converted the Hindustan Ambassador.

In the advert, a motorist turns his Ambassador – an iconic Indian car that started life as a Morris Oxford – into a Peugeot 206. Directed by Matthijs van Heijningen Jr., who has since gone on to become the director of Netflix’s first Dutch film, The Sculptor is considered one of the best car adverts of all time.

According to the award-winning Creative Director Adrian Holmes:

“A film I’ve always loved is a commercial for the Peugeot 206 called ‘The Sculptor’, made by Euro RSCG Milan in 2002. You must know the one – the young Indian guy who gets an elephant to sit on his old jalopy (amongst other methods) so that it ends up looking like the car of his dreams. Everything about it – the story, the editing, the music, the casting – is simply frame perfect. Apart from anything else, it stands as a monument to the brave and imaginative client who said ‘yes’ to such a wonderful and daring piece of work.”

Peugeot Rides Again

The 206 went on to be Peugeot’s best-selling model of all time, and one of the most popular cars ever made. Like the product, the advert selling it also swept the award boards in 2003: winning at the Cannes Lions International Festival of Creativity.

From the car’s release in 1998 to 2003, the year of The Sculptor’s release, sales of the Peugeot 206 increased by 146 percent. But why was The Sculptor such a big hit?

Real Renovations

The protagonist of the advert starts out with a Hindustan Ambassador and ends up with a Peugeot 206: the car of his dreams. The audience's expectation, after seeing the Ambassador destroyed, is that a pristine Peugeot 206 would be rolled out at the end. But that doesn’t happen. This car is dented, pummelled, bashed… there’s nothing pristine about it. Yet the protagonist still gets the attention of everyone who sees his new (old) car.

The fact that this advert really turned a Hindustan Ambassador into a Peugeot 206 is part of the reason this advert became so memorable. If they’d used CGI or switched out the car, the advert would have been like any other that uses a product swap.

International Intrigue

The name Peugeot forms an instant connection to its heritage: the brand is undeniably French. Setting the advert in French countryside or on Parisian streets would be predictable. Instead, The Sculptor is set in an Indian city. Why? To show that the car belongs anyway. Can be desired by anyone. It has international appeal.

The setting is also the home of the Hindustan Ambassador, India’s most popular car which was manufactured from 1957 to 2014 and called the “King of Indian Roads.” Once it fell out of production, the car became wildly collectable – but eleven years earlier in 2003 they were still easy to come by. A popular everyday car; much like the Peugeot 206. Stylistically, however, they’re worlds apart which is what made this a great before and after choice. The 206 was meant to be a new design for a new millennium, leaving behind the boxy style of the 20th century.

Mood Music

The advert plays to the song Heaven Is A Place On Earth by Raja Mushtaq, later remixed as Husan by Bhangra Knights. This bhangra dance song ended up charting, made it on Now That’s What I Call Music! 55, and sold over 20 million copies. Bhangra dance music is a non-traditional Punjabi music originating in British-Asian communities. It first emerged in the 1970s, seeing a resurgence in the 2000s that Peugeot got ahead of with its music choice. 

This upbeat song only briefly appears after the protagonist successfully converts his Hindustan Ambassador into the Peugeot 206 and the non-traditional bhangra music symbolises the successful alteration of the vehicle.

MotorWorld started in the US right after WWII, with the first show in November 1945, showing off the first "New" cars (facelifted, or sometimes just carried over cars from 1941). The first show was in Detroit Michigan, hosted by Dodge. Every year a different manufacturer (with few exceptions) hosts the show in their home country (again, with exceptions), with the most recent being the 2022 MotorWorld Minato, hosted by Honda to show the new Allure in its production skin, the first MotorWorld since the Covid-19 pandemic. Honda showed a fully drivable, production version of the Allure, though it had been on the market since 2021.
