I’ve been doing this job for a looong time. Over the years, I’ve seen dealers and suppliers both confirm news only to discover it doesn’t always happen. Not saying this isn’t true, but I’m not reporting on it until I hear directly from the OEM. Programs and projects get started and scrapped very often in automotive as you know. There’s very little for a dealer or supplier to lose by leaking out information. They can just say, “oh well, Ram changed their mind.” Meanwhile if Ram introduces it and then backtracks, they disappoint customers and can be sued for investor fraud. That’s a BIG difference.
For me, bring the Hemi back or don’t. The world moves forward and change is inevitable. I don’t “need” a V8 in my truck to feel Iike a man. Actually, it dawned on me the other day, my last 4 trucks haven’t had V8 engines. I can’t say I’m missed it.
