0:00.0 | Thank you guys for all the feedback on the podcast now with video. We're getting really good comments on YouTube every time. It's also available on Spotify. Of course, if you're listening as well, we just love that you're still listening. Thank you for that. It will continue as an audio-only podcast. We are trying to make it a thing where if you're not watching, you're still enjoying. But thank you to all of you that are watching and enjoying. We are diving in with all the stuff. all the stuff. We've got news up front. We've got a topic Tuesday where we're talking about Lotus. Close to my heart. Well, I thought we've done the Porsche problem. Yes. And I thought we should touch on Lotus lessons. We're tentatively calling it Lotus lessons. So we should touch on just stuff going on with Lotus. And the further I dug in, the more questions that I have. I don't know that I solved anything. No. There are raised more questions. There are many questions. We've got two car debates, two car conclusions, all the normal stuff. We're getting into questions from you guys at the end. So thank you for being with us as always. We're going to dive into, I know this is not a surprise. It's not even really news, |
0:54.5 | but it is official. Stalantis is not doing well. You thought Nissan wasn't doing well. They're |
1:00.1 | kind of the best of the not doing well. It's the worst of the not doing well companies. |
1:06.2 | The ones we're worried about Nissan's at the top, but shortly following them is Stalantis. |
1:10.5 | They're at the top. |
1:11.7 | Yes. The Stellantarians, the weird space people. You put up all the brands. Yes. You can see the weird space people. There's so many brands here. I mean, the place, here's the thing. In the U.S. media, when you read this news, they've had like a $2.7 billion loss, but it's almost always tied to Jeep when I was reading |
1:30.3 | about it in U.S. media because you say Stalantis and the average person goes, I don't know what |
1:34.2 | Stalantus is. So it's either Jeep or Dodge get mentioned up front so people know who that is. |
1:39.1 | But I mean, there's so many brands under here. I would argue too many brands under here. |
1:42.9 | But this whole series of news could |
1:45.3 | kind of be tentatively titled tariff problems because the tariffs are coming around and having |
1:49.8 | major issues in the automotive area. But Stalantis is talking about a $2.7 billion loss that they |
1:57.5 | are attributing. Now, I'm sure there's other stuff going on. Less than Nissan. It is a good job. |
2:00.8 | It is technically less than Nissan. Compared to Nissan, we haven't had a bad year. But 2.7 billion, |
2:05.7 | they're attributing a lot of that to tariffs and the new cost because of tariffs. I mean, we knew |
2:10.7 | it wasn't going to hide. Yeah. So, yeah, that's going on. That's not good news. You know, I've |
2:15.7 | read a lot of comments about where it should be, |
2:20.1 | where the mojo for Stalanta should go because all these brands, Chrysler brand, they really |
2:26.9 | only make the minivan. Well, wait, we make the Voyager too. It's the same thing. You make a minivan. |
2:32.5 | Dodge coming back and they're thinking about reintroducing the |
2:35.4 | hemie. So nothing like looking to the past to resurrect something that ended to go |
2:42.1 | sales for the future. Hey, we had to go back to things that sold. That was proven that it did well. |
