stellantis owes millions in fuel economy fines

Stellantis NV has paid a total of $190.7 million in fines for failing to meet U.S. fuel economy standards in two previous years.

These penalties, related to the model years 2019 and 2020, were paid in two installments: $78.4 million in March and $112.3 million in May, according to data from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), as first reported by Reuters. The NHTSA oversees the Corporate Average Fuel Economy (CAFE) Program, which sets efficiency standards for vehicles.

In addition to these fines, Stellantis faces a larger outstanding penalty of $459.7 million for the same model years. This figure has been confirmed by both NHTSA and Stellantis. The federal agency, however, did not provide further comments on these fines.

Stellantis and others are holding out hoping that lower interest rates in the fall will start moving the metal again. Current prices and interest rates are unsustainable.

Ajla I'm less okay with the 2GR being gone than I expected.
The Oracle Volvo may want to resume ICE development since they completely put it on hold.

Tassos 42 k is indeed steep, even in worthless 2024 Cackling Kamala dollars. You omit the most important number, what is the BASE price of this hybrid? if $32k, it's a buy, for those who need this type of vehicle. Which are FAMILIES. Which makes it a REAL PITY that buyers are MORONS and would NOT buy a STATION WAGON version of this, and instead go buy an obese CROSSOVER Highlander, which would have the SAME interior space (or less?) than a Camry Wagon, and costs much more.
