Stellantis is then dipping into Peugeot’s launch fund, and giving 50% of it to Chrysler to get themselves again in form. Moreover, Peugeot is sending automobiles over right here simply to be rebadged and offered as Chryslers. Speak about a large number. Oh, and we must always point out that the opposite day the SRT division of Dodge was apparently dissolved. Yeah. Dangerous.
