I think we're already seeing it with many car makers.

Ford said this a long time ago.
They are keeping V8s around for as long as they can.

Get rid of this green new deal bull shit and they will live for a long time!

GM hasn't even unveiled its twin turbo LT7 engine packages of 800 and 1000hp.
They did release an LS like 632 that made 1004hp NA.

Yes we are! This is one time it might benefit us as long as we stop for a breather. By the time we get ready for the next step, we can hopefully put the energy into a new ICE engine because the full EV is not the way to go and everyone is realizing that now and we can stop before actually goin full blown retard. The new Ramcharger is a good example of what MIGHT be the right way to go.

They are more than 2 years.
They scrapped plans for a refresh/new Challenger model for 2021 or whatever it was supposed to be.

What is the newest car in their portfolio?
Wagoneer?
Grand Cherokee?

Then what?
1500 Ram - 2018
Challenger/Charger - 2018 (wide body) 2015 (Hellcat refresh)
Wrangler - 2018
Gladiator - 2020
Durango - 1911

And lets not forget all the price increases on these the last 24 months.

Not just the trends, they are just behind.
