Introducing Stellantis. Talk to your doctor before using Stellantis as side effects may include model redundancy, the overwhelming urge to apply
Dodge badges to
Peugeot crossovers, and weak stream.
Honestly, how can you not poke just a little fun at the name chosen for the new multi-national corporation that will result once the merger of
Fiat Chrysler Automobiles (
FCA) and Peugeot S.A. (Groupe PSA) is completed in the first quarter of 2021. According to the press release, "Stellantis is rooted in the Latin verb 'stello' meaning 'to brighten with stars' ... The name's Latin origins pay tribute to the rich history of its founding companies while the evocation of astronomy captures the true spirt of optimism, energy and renewal driving this industry-changing merger."
The "Latin origins" of the French company Peugeot and the Italian Fiat are obvious.
Chrysler, on the other hand, was founded by a man born in Kansas whose father was a Canadian-American of German and Dutch ancestry
