Don't you think they'll bring back the next gen Doblo on STLA Medium as a RAM? The current (pre STLA designed) generation isn't US compliant.

• E-3008 Revealed in the second half of 2023, • Range will be up to 700 km, with 3 electric powertrains, including dual motor, • The E-3008 will be the first car launched with the new state of the art STLA Medium platform, • E-5008 following shortly after. So Opel Astra electric and Peugeot...

There was a special staff meeting in Cologne today, Ford Europe is killing a big chunk of its development department. Thousands laid off. https://www1.wdr.de/nachrichten/wirtschaft/ford-stellenabbau-koeln-betriebsversammlung-100.html...

Smaller than the Puma? German media reports indicate an electric midsize crossover. Ford Europe looks sad to me: Several models (Fiesta, Mondeo, Galaxy, S-Max …) killed off, upcoming electric models to be built on licensed VW platform instead of own developments. Commercial projects shared with VW …

When is the first STLA Medium supposed to come out? The new 3008 already? Based on pictures, I really like the proportions of the Avenger. I could imagine the Alfa B-crossover to be more "Crosswagon" than SUV. It can sit lower than the Jeep, just like the Tonale sits lower than the Dodge twin...

That's just a facelift. I don't see much benefit in a Diesel with the current fuel prices for a subcompact. Avenger is new and complementing the Renegade. I guess Jeep needs more BEV to equalize the emissions of the bigger models in the coming years. DS will be BEV-only soon.

They bought the COTY award? Tell me more! Seems pretty hard with almost 60 journalists involved. Why is the e-2008 so cheap in comparison? Price not adjusted yet, or adjusted already? The C4 should be C-segment. The Tesla price-drop is great for customers. Let's see how the industry will react...

In production form the B-SUV should hit the market in early 2024, before this sports car.

This was clearly an "hold out" event. Like previously said, they plan to style Lancia as elegant and pure opposed to glittering, angled DS. Otherwise there's huge overlap between the brands. It remains to be seen how this design sculpture translates into a real car. They could have shown a...

Maybe to keep the dealers on board and potential customers in line? Why do they wait so long? Do they have to start with the MCA model in 2024 for NA modifications? Do they plan to bring another car along, the C-SUV? Do they need all capacity for current markets until then?

Why? FWD base, slower transmission? But I don't believe the Tonale was supposed to be lighter or faster und Manley/Kuniskis. It would rather have the same plugin powertrain with 240 PS as the Jeeps on Small Wide.

I'm pretty sure they just waited for the Abarth to get ready.

Why not? Stellantis Hordain: First Plant in the World to Produce Hydrogen-powered, Electric and Combustion Engine Commercial Vehicles

Hey, the MCA versions got presented yesterday already! The Alfa Romeo Giulia and Stelvio evolve in terms of style and technology yet stay true to the brand's DNA, an expression of noble Italian sportiness since 1910. Today the two models feature a new “look” thanks to their sophisticated...

Only available in Italy and Spain (so far). I read somewhere that this Puretech Gen 3 is pretty different. Chain instead of belt for example. Don't know if the 1.0 GSE is really better. I mean, the 1.5 Hybrid is the weak part of the Tonale according to every test.

Today's fat kids better use pedals. :p

Chrysler US operations concentrate on selling the old 300 and Pacifica/Voyager. That's all. Not sure if there are dedicated brand teams for engineering and design of upcoming cars at Stellantis America.

I see what you mean with "rear design". 🤓

No, they switched from eMini to eCMP in 2020 – before Stellantis was born. There were reports about letters to suppliers by that time. I think all Stellantis cars will get Uconnect.
