What’s the likely production volume for M240?

This is what is needed for Alfa as well. They need to keep feeding out news, keeping it relevant.

I find myself loving that GT Junior Ocra hue

Finally a classically beautiful Ferrari. Should be a massive hit.

GTV (front mid-engined) at the lower end and Super Sports (rear mid at the upper end). M4, various AMGs, RS4, XF on one end and Aston Vantage, Portofino, AMG GTR, AMG SL, Audi R8 on the other end are cross-shopped AFAIK.

I'm pretty sure there would have been entry level models with the T4

Yes I’m aware. That’s why I said it should be a more everyday kind of sports car. With lots of equipment. Not simply a track tool.

Those two are from Maserati’s dark era under Citroen management. Underdeveloped and badly built. They’ll always be behind the 911 and Ferrari 308s. However Maserati has image and mystique to go after the 911. Definitely more than Aston Martin or Jaguar does.

@Deckard Cain I agree. Going after the 4 series is a no brainer. I personally think the Maserati brand is better equipped to go after the 911. The 911 is an automotive institution. Built over many decades to near perfection and only very rarely did they get it slightly wrong. In contrast the AR...

A coupe/sports car is an absolute must for Alfa. It’s in their DNA. Chopping off GTV is a big mistake imo. 6C/8C I can understand. Not GTV.

I’m thinking more on a global scale... just remember that Audi started with zilch.

And the last Naturally aspirated Maserati engine.....

How can I share this?

Can’t do too much harm with having a semi-premium brand to attack the lower range of 3 strong German competitors.. Needs a will. I don’t expect much but hoping Tavares May have ideas different to the “recovering from bankruptcy” flavor that’s been with FCA pre-PSA. I’m thinking development...

Imo if there’s one brand that can be chopped off it’s DS. Will anybody mind? I don’t think so. I read somewhere that Peugoet could use Giorgio. That’s interesting as the larger Peugoets used to be rwd. Abarth? I think that it has enormous potential as a tuning brand. Not just for Fiat but for...

Stunned to see a NA engine in production o_O

Only the Germans may try to put a spanner in the works. But I think it should be ok... From the above it seems that Tavares likes all the brands in the portfolio.... so far he has not had the opportunity of working with premium or truly sporting brands before. Something he must be relishing to...

Got to adopt one within the group. Rationalization would be one of the main tasks going forward I would bet.

I can’t see them ignoring a C segment hatch back post merger. It’s a no-brainer for me.

I firmly believe that there’s room for a mid-premium brand. The 500/Mini covers this in city cars. Like it or not VW occupies this slot. Also let’s not forget that Italian plant capacity is only 50% occupied. I believe a efficient and brave CEO like Tavares can take on VW with a revival of...
