Tiptronic Posted September 30, 2010 Report Share Posted September 30, 2010 News from Allpar/Autocar---Dodge is preparing to pull out of the UK Market. The Avenger, Caliber & Nitro are long gone & once the current stock of Journeys are sold Dodge will no longer be available in UK. They blame poor, sluggish sales & lack of interest by the UK buying public . We have a vast choice of makes & Doge never caught on over here. Plus Doge was always on a loser due to an Abysmal advertising campaign. Its a shame really , but Dodge cars were priced way to high , over here, for their build quality. The mechanicals are OK , but Brits just dont go for hard edged , cheap plastic interiors. Jeep & Chrysler will continue , with the New Range of Chrysler/FIAT model. Dodge spares & service will remain for many years to come!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tiptronic Posted September 30, 2010 Author Report Share Posted September 30, 2010 Yep Discoman---Its been on the cards for some time. Google in " Dodge to pull out of UK" or buy a copy of Autocar. Having owned a Dodge Caliber--Jeep Patriot & now a Dodge Avenger , & being UK myself I keep myself Informed. I'm an ex-Skoda Superb owner & mrs still has a Fabia. This news wouldnt stop me buying a Journey , so in the next few months I may start having a look round for a GOOD deal. I am also considering a used Mazda 5 MPV........... Dont forget Dodges now will start losing money Big Time....obsolete cars are not worth a lot. My Avenger was never worth a lot ..£9.500 used , but its lost about £2000 in 6 months.......Cheers ...Pete Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a dodge journey and it is a piece of junk (junk, to keep it clean). i wish I would have written a journal on my journey, it has been a journey to H and back. Good bye!
