That’s because he’s just the shit rod for the Agnelli family who own the largest slice of Stellantis in a holding company based in the Netherlands called Exor

Wow, none of those companies have a reputation for making quality products.

Kinda makes sense that they fit under the same umbrella. It’s a large section of what I’d call mediocre car makers. Not the absolute worst, but far from the best.

Who’s worse in build quality and reliability than Chrysler, Fiat, and dodge?

Used to be Hyundai / Kia, but they’re blowing them out of the water quality, reliability and interior design wise these days.

No worse place to be than a Dodge interior.

Fair point. Most really cheap crap is long gone these days. But I’d rather sit in one of those three than a Land Rover, Ssangyong or Nissan (which has been plagued with horrible reliability issues as of late).

Ironically, Chrysler used to be one of the most reliable brands. Once upon a time.

Is it the same Peugeot though? Or is it more of a Lamborghini tractors type situation?

Pepper mills are a separate division still owned by the Peugeot family.

I test drove an Alfa Romeo Giulia and it was a shambles from beginning to end.

He pulls the demo car round, and it was out of fuel, had a flat tyre, the engine management light was on, and the oil temp was sky high.

This was the demo car. The one they use to sell people on the brand.

Noped right out of there and bought German.

Blame the dealer, not the car.

The Giulia is a very reliable car, actually

The Guilia that I drove for a couple weeks was great. Sounds like that dealer was shit.

Oof, I don’t feel so good for the UAW peoples that are striking. Need more to strike and need more companies being striked. Fuck these companies that siphon money and let their workers live and die in poverty

Well, more than half of Stellantis factories are in Europe and have at least an half decent collective working agreement in place. I don’t even want to imagine how bad the contracts for the factories they have in Asia and Africa are though.

This is a very smart strike. Firstly they’re able to stretch the use of their strike fund by not having all members go at once. Second they can target high demand factories while continuing to overproduce in others causing the company to not meet demand for certain models and continue to oversupply in others.

And yet your meme is right-aligned. Curious.

This is kind of stupid and useless. These are brands under a single company, not separate entities. Many many companies use different branding for the stuff the make and build. It’s all still fiat Chrysler or whatever they’re xalling themselves these days.

p.s. I used to work at fiat Chrysler, thats how I know.

A good chunk of what is on that list is fiat Chrysler brands. Maybe I shouldn’t have said all.
