Tavares literally must have blinders on......they are formed by a $40million salary.

I love the way the bad news is buried at the bottom of the article. Sales being up 4% qoq ain’t good news against a yoy decline of 21%. Especially considering all the discounts they had to do to get that small increase. That is what the dealers are po’d about. They had to dig into their profit margin considerably to make that 4% gain happen.

There's a lot to respond to in Stellantis' corporate response, but in order for it to be believable the contradiction between being "committed to all brands" and Carlos Tavares's "all brands are on the line," should be addressed.

One commentator wrote:
"Dealership markups are usually 20% high and rising. Then they sell product prepaid by a vet out from under them. And don’t forget the gouging for ANYTHING from the Direct Connection catalogue."

Markups? gouging?

How about $500 to get a replacement KEY FOB! Are you F******G me?

Beam me up Scotty! There is no intelligent life form here.

For several years, with vehicle shortages, many (but not all) dealers gouged their customers and new-vehicles purchasers with high mark-ups and mandatory dealer add-ons.

It actually makes me feel like some dealers are now receiving justice for what they did.
