Those air inlets remind me of the 166.

I was doubtful, but so far I like it overall. For sure the external styling is a departure from the rather save, conservative beauty of the latest Alfas. But then they want to reach new, younger customers with this. Most critical points for me are the busy front with new Scudetto and the...

I love the side view. Floating like liquid. :love: It's not often that supercars touch me. The MC20 doesn't at all. The 33 does. Only detail in question is the Y/V on the front hood.

Might be right, but doesn't help. In contrast to the 1.5 GSE MHEV Stellantis has in-house transmissions for the 1.2 MHEV. It's really irritating that every Tonale engine option has a different, badly tuned 3rd party transmission type. Maybe, if FCA invested in proper solutions for the 1.5 it...

Yes, Giulia and Stelvio are confirmed for Large. As is the Cassino plant. First Alfa will introduce STLA Brain in 2025. I'm still not sure if it's Giulia or Stelvio. I guess every car maker hopes to sell software subscriptions or updates in the future. On the other hand Stellantis plans to give...

Well there's a simple reason for that: Lack of ongoing projects at FCA Italy. And reading/watching European reviews of the Tonale – which all point to the engine/transmission options as the one weak point of a good product – I'd prefer to have new PureTech powertrains in it. Are the GSE...

Details, differences to the previous development "e-VMP" by PSA, applications, why 400 V in the EU and 800 V in the US. It's french, use a translator! https://www.largus.fr/actualite-automobile/peugeot-e-3008-2023-la-nouvelle-plate-forme-stla-medium-en-detail-30028947.html

According to insiders in the autopareri.com forums, the upcoming 1.6 PHEV is a new engine, a 4 cylinder evolution from the 1.2 PureTech (EB) engine — not to be confused with the existing 1.6 PHEV (EP/Prince by PSA/BMW).

I could even see them bring the Topolino with Free-2-Move.

@AlexB thanks for the summary!

Seems like there has been some European conference call already. Some reports mention it.

The resurrection continues! But the percentage increases should fall now, since the Tonale came to market in June 2022 in Europe. Alfa Romeo posts record-breaking global business results in the first 6 months of 2023 Alfa Romeo ends the first half of 2023 with exceptional figures: globally...

If they make Wagoneer a premium/luxury sub-brand with several models, shouldn't Jeep rename the big Wagoneer and Grand Wagoneer as well? I know, there's no logic in the Chrysler/FCA US naming history … 😆

According to this article, Alfa just announced a 190 hp version of the Tonale PHEV. 2700 € cheaper than the 280 hp with the same trim, avoiding a malus in some countries. If I remember right, a 190 hp version was already planned pre-launch...
