    Alfa Romeo Pulls The Covers Off Of Its Subcompact Milano

    Ok, I see it's a little bit quicker with a higher pollutions: 408 (11,2 sec; 211 km/h) and 3008 (10,2 sec; 201 km/h) with the 1.2 136 hp vs. Tonale (9,6 sec; 200 km/h) or Compass (9,2 sec; 192 km/h) with GSE 1.5 130 hp. I see EB3 is Euro 6e, GSE 1.5 Euro 6d currently. Btw. press release for the...

    Alfa Romeo Pulls The Covers Off Of Its Subcompact Milano

    Is it? I find it hard to compare since there's only heavy SUVs with the 1.5 GSE. Junior 1.2 EB3 136 has similar acceleration and top speed as the Tonale 1.5 GSE 160. The Tonale 130 is much slower, but of course it's also much heavier. In the end that's the most important for surviving. Better...

    Alfa Romeo Pulls The Covers Off Of Its Subcompact Milano

    Yes please! To be precise: The 1.5 GSE MHEV, to be compared with the 1.2 EB3 MHEV. Not the 1.3 PHEV.

    Alfa Romeo Pulls The Covers Off Of Its Subcompact Milano

    I've yet to see some indication that the new 136 HP hybrid DCT powertrain is any worse than the GSE hybrid. The latter in the Tonale is criticised in every review I've come across. I'd like to see stronger options for hybrid and electrowith about 180…200 hp though. If you study infos and videos...

    Those air inlets remind me of the 166.

    Alfa Romeo Pulls The Covers Off Of Its Subcompact Milano

    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...

    Alfa Romeo Introduces Its New 33 Stradale Super Sports Car!

    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.

    PSA 1.6 liter PureTech

    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...

    The new STLA Medium platform in detail

    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...

    PSA 1.6 liter PureTech

    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...

    The new STLA Medium platform in detail

    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

    PSA 1.6 liter PureTech

    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).

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

    Alfa Romeo sales in several european countries have more than doubled in 23Q1 compared to 22Q1

    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...

    A New Name For The Wagoneer S Could Be Coming Soon!

    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 … 😆

    Alfa Romeo News

    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...

    New Fiat Topolino

    This tiny electric vehicle (sister to Citroën Ami and Opel Rocks) will be presented on July 4, together with the new Fiat 600. There will be different versions, also with doors. I could imagine Fiat bringing it over to the US together with the 500, if they see their niche in urban transportation...
