    Jean-Pierre Ploué, Stellantis Chief Design Officer* will lead LANCIA design

    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...

    Jean-Pierre Ploué, Stellantis Chief Design Officer* will lead LANCIA design

    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...

    Jean-Pierre Ploué, Stellantis Chief Design Officer* will lead LANCIA design

    True, but I thought Lancia and Alfa target very different customers. Who knows if it will work, but I would love to see them pull it off and be successful.

    Jean-Pierre Ploué, Stellantis Chief Design Officer* will lead LANCIA design

    I think you are probably right, but it's interesting to me that they are choosing to try this. I wonder if this is an attempt to take back some market share from the Germans, and Audi in particular, in France and especially in Italy with more nationalistic premium branding. So let France have...

    RAM's "Long-Hauler" Concept Is The Ultimate Cross Country Hauler:

    I think I remember someone with knowledge posting back in the day that ultimately, the extended range that the extra large fuel tank gained you, was cutting too far into the payload/tow rating to be worthwhile on this class of vehicle.

    Better start thinking of a new name for the Cherokees

    With respect to everyone here, I sincerely hope this place doesn't become infested with political talk. In my experience on various forums over the years, nothing kills a community more completely than political talk. If you never get a sense of what my political views are, then I'm doing it...

    Why wait two years?

    Great post. Considering that Stellantis is noted as being a major market leader in commercial vans, I would love to see how they respond to all these new electric delivery van start ups which are cropping up. In fact, this might even deserve it's own topic, if the powers that be agree...

    Fiat Chrysler announces $250 million investment for Jeep brand in India

    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...

    FIAT Kills Most Of Its Lineup In North America For 2021 Model Year:

    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...
