I just know from my experience, however anecdotal, that I see a lot of Audis in Italy, and hear people there speak of them as having a higher status.
Personally, being from the US, I have never found Audi to be an aspirational brand, with a few notable exceptions. Generally, I've viewed them as...
But the key words you said are "outside of Italy."
I wonder if they'll focus on building Lancia back up within Italy, not outside.
I know Italy is not a large market, but many people in Italy look to the Germans for premium. If they could be offered homegrown alternatives, you could win some...

Who knows if it will work, but I would love to see them pull it off and be successful.

In fact, this might even deserve it's own topic, if the powers that be agree...
I read somewhere that this new "3 row midsize Jeep" that is mentioned here is allegedly supposed to compete with the Ford Endeavour and Toyota Fortuner, both of which are body on frame.
I wonder if there's any chance it could be a Wrangler derivative, based off the Gladiator?
Most likely...
I think there could be a future here in the States for the Fiat 500E, and other very small electric, or plug in hybrid electric cars in major cities like NYC.
I wouldn't be surprised to see the local NYC government push to have a "zero emissions" downtown area. Maybe not to exclude all other...
