    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).

    Stellantis 1st half earnings and conference call

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

    Stellantis 1st half earnings and conference call

    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...

    The obscene price of the e-308 in Spain. Dead on arrival?

    If it's a total flop at those prices or selling at a level that might be ok for Peugeot.

    The obscene price of the e-308 in Spain. Dead on arrival?

    Yes, nothing British left. Belongs to SAIC. According to Wikipedia there was some British production until 2016.

    The obscene price of the e-308 in Spain. Dead on arrival?

    Better not. Sales numbers will tell. I think the price decision makers need some time to adjust to changed market conditions. Big %%% coming?

    Dodge Hornet GT AWD Fails TFLCar’s Diagonal Slip Test

    I don't know how different the suspension is, but the standard Hornet rides much higher than the Tonale.

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

    Alfa's complete registration numbers for the EU are in: +200% in March, +150% in Q1. Close to 12,000 cars in 2023 now. Not so bad compared to 2022! https://www.acea.auto/pc-registrations/new-car-registrations-28-8-in-march-battery-electric-13-9-market-share/

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

    As much as I hate Manleys decisions for Alfa, they would have needed active development of additional models already before the Giulia got launched. If you wait to see if a model is a success until you start to design the next one, you'll always keep five year gaps between launches. Great...
