You are a tad revisionist, wouldn't you say?
Here is an alternative timeline that is just as accurate:
1970-2015 - Crickets from Dodge as they surrender an entire market segment to instead focus on K cars, PT Cruisers and Sebring convertibles.
2015 - HELLCAT!!!
>2015 - Dodge skins HELLCAT!! a million different ways with myriad versions of the same tired platform. There are ever so slight differences but nothing significant. Dodge fanboys blow their wad over ever so slight differences.
??? - Dodge goes BK due to inability to innovate or adapt to market that does not include same tired platform.
I would imagine much like ford has the F150 and explore/expedition to carry sales FCA has ram and Jeep to step in there. The revamp of the ram was likely higher priority and so far it seems to be paying off for them.
it’ll be interesting to see if we start getting more innovation out of them in 2021 and forward as I agree, it has to happen across the board to stay relevant. Maybe we get a glimpse of that with the new Jeep.
