    Elkann To EU: Rethink 2035 Engine Ban Before It’s Too Late

    The really Dark stuff is the “Bible” of the Davos (WEF) cabal, the Great Reset. The goal is a global population control and reduction down to no more than 2 Billion with half of that being from Asian countries because they are culturally more compliant to authority. These people view “1984” not...

    Everything You Need To Know About The 2026 Alfa Romeo Tonale

    As I’ve said many times before. There is nothing wrong with the product, it’s the network. The CDJR network doesn’t understand the product or its customers nor does it care to. They’re great at selling Jeeps and Rams but they don’t do upscale very well. How are they doing with the Grand...

    Elkann To EU: Rethink 2035 Engine Ban Before It’s Too Late

    The EV mandates from Brussels/Beltway/Davos has put most of the legacy auto manufacturers in a death spiral while paving the way for a CCP domination of the industry. EVs are a product consumers didn’t ask for, don’t want, and aren’t buying. It’s nothing but a money grab by government...

    Everything You Need To Know About The 2026 Alfa Romeo Tonale

    Picked up a 2025 Tonale Hybrid as a local run around grocery getter car. It serves that purpose perfectly, A Veloce with a 56k MSRP after all the various “these cars aren’t selling “ incentive money from Alfa, the $7,500 ending EV subsidy plus another $2,500 from the State net sale price was a...

    DOE Weighs Revoking $1.1 Billion In EV Retooling Grants For Stellantis

    It wasn’t Biden, this was purely Obama it started with him and he was really orchestrating a 3rd term the last 4 years. As far as Tavares is concerned while it won’t be popular here to defend him, but before taking the big seat at Stellantis he was considered the Best CEO in the business. His...

    DOE Weighs Revoking $1.1 Billion In EV Retooling Grants For Stellantis

    Why should the taxpayers fund a product that customers don’t want, didn’t ask for and aren’t buying? EV are purely a government bureaucrat, environmental zealots mandate not a market driven product.

    Alfa Romeo Stuns Monterey With Exclusive 33 Stradale Supercar

    It’s not about educating the public, it’s about educating the network. The franchises are in simply the wrong hands, as part of the Auburn Hills expansion they appointed mass market dealer groups with one size fits all System Sales that doesn’t fit or generally work well with upscale niche...

    Alfa’s Road to Redemption Starts with the Dealers

    ` There are pockets of Italian communities across the country, obviously not in the size that exists in the Northeast but they are there. What needs to happen is for Maserati/Alfa to play to their strength of the Italian image and not try to copy the sterile Teutonic image of the German...

    Alfa’s Road to Redemption Starts with the Dealers

    The problem is not that there not enough dealers, it’s that there are too many in a given market area. In search of volume Auburn Hills was giving the franchises to any CDJR dealer with a half way decent balance sheet. These dealer only know how to sell on price and destroyed the profitability...

    New York Dealer Sue Stellantis and Maserati North America

    EVs are a product that no one asked for, didn’t want and aren’t buying. The only reason manufacturers put their limited resource funds into them is because of government bureaucrats and fanatical environmentalists zealots.
