I'd agree, good work chaps.
Good find this, i thought it might be Grand Jeep Cherokee but reading the last post by Jimbo I would say you are correct.
Bingo!
“The latest intel suggests the Grand Wagoneer will boast a level 3 semi-autonomous driving system and a plug-in hybrid variant with approximately 30 miles (48 kilometers) of electric range.”

You could be on to something Whatif.
It was circa 2016 that SEE got heavily involved with GM, Mercedes, BMW and Ford, so why not FCA as well.
“Back in 2016, then-Jeep boss (now Fiat Chrysler CEO) Mike Manley confirmed that the Wagoneer and Grand Wagoneer names would stage a comeback as two distinct high-end models.”
“Last year, FCA announced a $4.5 billion investment in various Michigan plants, and as part of that, confirmed that the Wagoneer and Grand Wagoneer would go into production in early 2021.”
One would assume “takes it to the next level” means that this car will be be able to compete with Super Cruise and Active Drive Assist otherwise they might as well give up now. It’s going to be expensive as well.
“Back in 2016, Manley told Road & Track, "[Y]ou could imagine the use of Wagoneer to denote a really premium vehicle, and Grand Wagoneer takes it to the very next level."

It’s going to have ADAS so maybe.
“However, we expect both body styles to offer a slew of standard and optional driver-assistance technology such as adaptive cruise control, automated emergency braking, lane-keeping assist, and more.”

Any thoughts on the Jeep Grand Wagoneer for the SEE tech ? It looks a more upmarket product. Looks like they are getting ready to launch by showing tease photographs.
The 2021 Ram 1500 TRX, competitor to the F150 Raptor is unveiled on monday...
https://www.motor1.com/news/438599/2021-ram-1500-trx-reveal-date/
https://www.prnewswire.com/news-releases/2021-ram-1500-trx-to-debut-august-17-2020-301110318.html
The RAM was discussed as a possible a while ago, fits all the criteria, competitor to the F150. And SEE has all 3 of the Big 3 in the US, admittedly the contract value is less than expected as Safestocks pointed out at the time.
But, yes, there will hopefully be up to 7 launching this year, early next year.
The RAM 1500 does seem a likely candidate for the reason you described Whatif. However, if it is, it would mean that this BB has failed to identify a SEE bearing model ahead of its official launch, which is quite rare. It would be nice to be pleasantly surprised for once though!
The CT4 and CT5 were also due to get Super Cruise this year. That would bring the total to 7.
Does the RAM 1500 not get launched on Monday 17th ? It was going to be June . May get SEE tech to compete with the F150
And FCA Chrysler SOP from the RNS was to be 2020, but may have slipped a bit.
Wasn't his wording more like "in the next few months"?
Jim
Maybe because SEE, even at this point, only view the F150 and S Class as significant. Perhaps that, with hindsight might change some time later. Initial output might come into it.
The Escalade might also start this year I think, doubt that would be viewed as significant like the CT6 was. It's all about numbers, being in the execution phase and so on!
Unless PM knows of production delays the general public is unaware of, I don’t understand why he is claiming that the company is only due two launches of note this year?!
“Mach-E production is scheduled to begin at the Ford Cuautitlan Plant in Mexico on October 26th, 2020.”

“Meanwhile, production of the 2021 Ford F-150 was originally scheduled to begin at the Ford Dearborn Truck Plant on August 17th before it was pushed back to September 28th. Now, it is earmarked for October 12th. Similarly, 2021 F-150 production at the Ford Kansas City Plant has been moved from September 14th to October 26th and now to November 9th.”
