They could show off that new Dodge Hornet SUV that nobody wants.
That won't work.

I never said that it would.That won't work.
Well the Bronco LOOKS great but, the better performance comes at a cost of complexity and expense if you keep it a long time…take a look under the hood of both….the Ecoboost in the Bronco is quite a bit more complex, so that extra power does not come with no strings attached....What is a Ford Bronco? I have not seen Jeep even address the competition.... which is eating their sales. Thankfully for Jeep, Ford is on a preorder basis..
That moves them up in my book.They're sitting the Super Bowl out too. I don't blame them for that.
So if I am reading the press release correctly it seems that there doing this to save money.
I thought these car companies were all making money hand over fist being able to sell everything they can make without incentives - leading to dealer above MSRP market adjustments.
What am I missing?
That's true in big cities in the north.I was told that the cost of setup and tear down at the show has become prohibitive. One rule is that no vendor is even allowed to plug a drop cord in, instead they have to hire a union electrician to plug or unplug a drop cord. The list of silliness went on and on.
It's probably rough and luggy until the turbo spools. Putting it in low range will up the rpms and then you won't have to wait for the turbo to spool before you get your torque. High torque at low rpm when you floor it is great for pulling onto the highway and tow stuff, but when you're offroading you don't need much power. You need control so you aren't lurching over one rock and smacking your wheels into the next oneI really like that 2.7 as well. The only criticism I've seen of this colorado and the 2.7 is that it doesn't seem to do well in offroad with 4x4 high. Something to do with when the torque comes in, I saw a review where they said they found themselves hitting 4 low far more often than in the previous truck (or other mid sizers) to make up for the low torque off the line.
Which is interesting because it makes so much more torque than any other midsizer at 430 lb/ft, but I guess timing/tuning is everything.
Truck King did the review I'm thinking of, they compared it to the new Taco which makes much less peak torque but feels stronger off the line despite that.
Really too bad GM didn't do a next gen 2.8 diesel for the mid sizers. I was hoping for one.
So you what goes on into other exhibit halls. Go to a major league baseball game and $5 bottle of water or $12+ beer. Oh my a union electrician they don't set all the rules management does. This is advertising nothing more. Companies put their money where they think it will do the most good for them.I was told that the cost of setup and tear down at the show has become prohibitive.

At wot or part throttle? Does it boost lag right off idle or is it instant like the v8 it replaced?420 PF @ 1500 RPM’s
Not doing well? Everything I see on the road in my area are Ram trucks and 4-door Wranglers. People might not be buying them at the inflated prices, but that goes for pretty much everything these days. My local Ford dealer has all the same F-Series on the lot that they did when I drove by a month ago.Unfortunately Stellantis isn't doing that well at all these days. Their prime American brands (Ram/Jeep) have cratering sales. Dark days ahead for all mopar fans.
I think so to. The buzz is over regarding the big shows; everyone already know what is coming out this year and next.Last year I was bored and went to the DesMoines auto show. Yeah, they have one.
Seeing a Maverick in person was cool, but the classic car section was much more enjoyable. The lack of cars was amazing. There was only 1 Jeep, which was a 4xE. Chevy had a good showing, but I don’t think Toyota or Nissan were there. It took longer to drive there than walk the show.
People like to stay home these days, unless it’s an outdoor event.
