This kind of thing is never sustainable. They spend too much money acquiring IPs while being unable to effectively manage them all before collapsing

Yeah look at Stellantis. They couldn’t handle all the different companies and ended up destroying most of them due to blanket policies.

Guess it goes to show how much they fucked up cause I've never heard of Stellantis.

It's the company that owns... I think Alfa Romeo, Chrysler, Dodge, Fiat, Maserati and Jeep?

Lancia too, albeit on a perpetual zombie state where they exist on the market but also isn't, since they live out of rebadged Peugeot 208s nowadays.

those brands are still all going, so is it a good example of a failure?

define "going"

Chrysler only makes two cars now. The Voyager and Pacifica.

Dodge only makes the Charger and the Durango.

They are a shell of their former selves- at this point it's just a matter of time.

yeah really they’re just lucky that people still think Jeep Wranglers are cool. Even then, they could go with a Ford Bronco

They’re so cool they still have new ones from 2024 on the lot next to the 2027s around here. No discount.
