Seems like there has been some European conference call already. Some reports mention it.

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...

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 … 😆

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...

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...

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

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

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

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

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/

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...

Owner forums only show singular experiences. Platforms like spritmonitor.de will show the overall picture, but it's not listed yet. Almost all competition in the B-segment comes from Asia, because most European car companies struggle with this financial task. From Europe only the Zoe comes to my...

They do. On the German website actually 15.9-15.3 kWh/100 km according to WLTP. I don't know how that can translate to 400 km range. But it has to by the rules, otherwise the advertising message would be illegal.

Yes, and why? Because it's hard to make money with in Europe.

So where's the competitive small EV from BMW group? Not existing, they have to outsource to China for electric MINI. Where's the competitive small EV from Mercedes (ex Daimler) Group? Not existing, they sold Smart to China. Where's the competitive small EV from VW Group? Not existing, they...

I do agree that the industry has to adjust their prices. But that doesn't mean the cars are overpriced from an industrial viewpoint. Remember that the Model 3 was 6000 € more expensive just two weeks ago. They might raise their prices again in three months. About WLTP ranges, they are totally...

I don't know if it's fair to call the Stellantis EVs "ridiculously overpriced". It's hard to compare European pricing and costs with Chinese products which don't wear the "burden" of workers rights, unions and environmental protection. Also the Chinese government might subsidize them for the...

Don't you think they'll bring back the next gen Doblo on STLA Medium as a RAM? The current (pre STLA designed) generation isn't US compliant.

• E-3008 Revealed in the second half of 2023, • Range will be up to 700 km, with 3 electric powertrains, including dual motor, • The E-3008 will be the first car launched with the new state of the art STLA Medium platform, • E-5008 following shortly after. So Opel Astra electric and Peugeot...
