    Merger Time! Carlos Tavares proclaims: Stellantis "is ready for any kind of consolidation.”

    Yea yeah Luca de Meo in the picture. Stellantis is getting worse in Europe by each year, market share. Around 21 or 22% some five years ago, 16% today. VAG is being rock solid over those 5 years.

    Tavares is leaving Stellantis?

    This is far from certain. But... Anyway by each year EU market share is detoriating. I must also add that IMO platform strategy and also electrification strategy is just wrong. Pricing is... Excessively high for some products. And forcing PSA platforms and powertrains is just wrong.

    Tavares is leaving Stellantis?

    It's just a rumor... Sort of it. But even Italian magazine Quattroruote has written about him as an outgoing CEO. Also L'argus, french web site, which is usually right about ex PSA, has written that there was a disagreement between Elkann and Tavares about some future projects. Elkann has...

    Stellantis 1st half earnings and conference call

    I would argue that CMP products are worst in class on some categories... Actually most of them. Nothing special. But they are very cheap to make. I'm gutted.

    Jeep® Europe Opens Up Ordering For Entire 2023 Jeep Avenger Lineup

    What they've made and something which was pushed by ex FCA side was new front structure so that Jeep could have shorter front overhang. Other change is higher H point which provided slightly more rear leg room. I think it's called H30 points. I'm messing two different H points. And last is...

    Next L Car Hybrid Electrification clue - 2024 Corvette E-Ray is _not_ a PHEV

    Similar solution although PHEV was planned for Alfa.. mhm, Maserati MC20 but they killed it and went wth ICE and BEV options which have resulted in overweight ICE variant due to strengthen monocoque which was necessary for BEV version. Both versions have identical chassis. But even with such...

    Jeep® Europe Opens Up Ordering For Entire 2023 Jeep Avenger Lineup

    It's not. Naming it uConnect doesn't make it one. Obviously it's the latest it's the latest PSA sourced infotaiment. It looks identical as the one on the latest Opel models. They even put GSE name on the failure prone 1.2 liter PureDreck engine. :facepalm 54 kWh on all models on different...

    Jeep® Europe Opens Up Ordering For Entire 2023 Jeep Avenger Lineup

    CAFE or fleet CO2 emissions are not brand related. They're automotive group related. In this case Stellantis. Maserati is separate from this. I have some additional drawbacks about this car. For example very problematic and failure prone PSA engine. The other is infotainment. Arguably this...

    Jeep® Europe Opens Up Ordering For Entire 2023 Jeep Avenger Lineup

    COTY has been political game for many years. Important Italian magazines abandoned it years ago. Wonder why. BTW... I'm not sure who made engine list for this car but I have feeling that ex FCA brands are screwed over and over again. For example DS 3 FL has been unveiled with 130 HP diesel and...

    The future is EV??

    Hornet small? Inside or out? IMO it will be just fine on the inside.

    The future is EV??

    Interesting opinion. Dunno what to say, it's strange. I mean... Many people , at least here in Europe, are driving their PHEVs just as regular ICE or maybe HEV at 99% time. I think that we've (too quickly) moved away from a P2 MHEV tech. It's still immature and already seen as obsolete by the...

    FIAT Will Introduce The 500e To The North American Market On Thursday!

    This platform was designed from a get go as a suitable for US market. On the other way round certain other platform is non US compliant. Platform on which most of all new European Fiats will be based on including the upcoming 600.

    2023 Compass getting new motor

    I mean... Whomever designed this transmission it was on the plans for many years now. It's nothing which came from the clear sky.

    2023 Compass getting new motor

    @Deckard Cain I'm not sure about 300 NM but seeing the name of this transmission as 8F30 I would say so. In FCA's nomenclature number 8 stands for number of gears while 30 is for torque which would mean 300 Nm.

    2023 Compass getting new motor

    New 8 speed transmission rated to 300 Nm. That's exact number of torque made by this particular engine.

    Jeep® Kicks Off Its European Marketing Campaign For Its All-New Avenger (JJ) B-UV!

    Very small on the inside for respective vehicle segment. Old (unreliable) old gen Puretech inside. Not good.

    Dodge Hornet

    Tonale didn't get the love in an amount which was planned under late Sergio. It would always be Small Wide based product but heavily revised and of course with more powerful ICE engines. We got sort of a half baked car.
