Cavender Auto Group, located near Shavano Park, Texas, is demonstrating its support for the U.S. military through a new initiative. The program involves donating a brand-new car every quarter to an active-duty military member.

As stated in a news release, individuals have the opportunity to nominate an active-duty “military hero” residing in Bexar, Comal, Kendall, Guadalupe, Hays, or Caldwell County.

Nominations for the first giveaway are open from June 1 to June 23, and the first drawing for a Ford Escape will take place on June 30. The announcement of the winners will be made via a Facebook Live event.

“At Cavender Auto Group, we wanted to find a better way to serve and appreciate the military members in our community and thank them for their service,” said Chief Operating Officer Rob Cavender. “We are thrilled that with this quarterly giveaway, we are going to be positively impacting many more of our military heroes.”

Furthermore, Cavender Auto Group will extend an additional gesture of gratitude by providing free lifetime oil changes to active-duty military personnel and military veterans who purchase a new or used vehicle from Cavender Auto Group. This initiative aligns with the company’s philanthropic focus, known as Cavender Cares, which aims to make a positive impact in the San Antonio community.

Stellantis to prioritize four core brands in turnaround strategy, sources say The automaker plans to shift funding toward Jeep, Ram, Peugeot, and Fiat while maintaining its broader portfolio. On the Dash: Expect increased product investment and marketing support for Jeep, Ram, Peugeot and Fiat. Regional and niche brands may see reduced volume but more targeted positioning and shared platforms. Platform-sharing and rebadging strategies could affect inventory mix and model differentiation. Stellantis will concentrate most of its investment on four core brands as CEO Antonio Filosa pushes a turnaround strategy set for release May 21, according to a Reuters exclusive. The automaker has identified Jeep, Ram, Peugeot, and Fiat as its priority brands. It will allocate a “material increase” in funding to them, driven by their stronger global sales and profitability, marking a shift away from the company’s previous approach of distributing investment more evenly across its portfolio.

Stellantis will retain its 14-brand lineup, the largest in the industry, and will not shut down underperforming marques. Instead, the company will reposition secondary brands such as Citroën, Opel and Alfa Romeo to operate in regional or niche roles. These brands will rely on shared platforms and technology developed by the core brands while maintaining distinct styling and market identity. The strategy comes as Stellantis works to regain market share in the United States and Europe while facing growing competition from Chinese EV makers. The company earlier reported a 22.2 billion-euro charge tied to scaling back its EV plans, underscoring the urgency of the strategic shift. Its market valuation has also declined significantly in recent months. To support the transition, Stellantis will expand its use of shared “multi-energy” platforms that support electric, hybrid and internal combustion (ICE) vehicles. Additionally, the company is evaluating rebadging strategies and joint development programs, including collaborations with its Chinese partner, Leapmotor. Executives and investors backing the plan expect the increased focus on core brands to improve efficiency and strengthen financial performance. Analysts say Stellantis could still consider further consolidation if results fall short of expectations.
