    Tales of Stellantis home nations: Italy is most interested in EV, U.S. least (major nations)

    Interest in Italy makes perfect sense. Small BEVs are great for the shorter driving distances in Italy and their narrow roads. You just need to check the sales of small EVs like the 500e, the Smart and Twingo EV in the italian car market to see that interest there is growing. As it is in the...

    Stellantis Accelerates Its Low Emission Vehicle Sales Momentum In Europe!

    You will like Belgium then. Plenty of Stellantis cars on the streets, and I am talking about the american brands. I see a LOT of Ram's 1500 here. Jeep Gladiator are also somewhat common. Granted I have seen one or two Challengers only. Jeep Cherokee's or Grand Cherokee's are not that common as...

    Stellantis Accelerates Its Low Emission Vehicle Sales Momentum In Europe!

    Why waste precious funds to make diluted Dodge models and establishing yet another Stellantis brand in an already bloated brand catalog in Europe? It wouldn't even just steal sales from Alfa. In fact, since Dodge is not a premium brand it would steal sales to brands such as Fiat or Opel. What's...

    Lancia Releases Its 10-Year Strategic Plan For Expansion!

    Well, from what it was shown here their sales will be focused on countries that already have good charging infrastructure like Benelux (Walloon is a bit behind), Germany, France for example. And by 2024 or 2026 things will be even better. It's good to see Lancia reborn. Funny that this happens...

    Dodge CEO Says New eMuscle Car Should Come Around August!

    This is coming sooner than I thought! Between this and the Maserati GranTurismo Folgore, the most exciting EV cars in the market will be from Stellantis.

    No mid-size and compact pick-ups incoming?

    Please bring 500 e back to US!

    I know, that's why I said "if the US and Brazil had a FTA". There might be a case for selling european Fiats in the US starting with the 500e. But the future Fiat range will only go up to the compact segment. For the US, that won't guarantee a lot of sales since your market highest volume...

    Please bring 500 e back to US!

    I think their priority initially is to first re-launch Fiat in Europe. I think that if Brazil and the US had a FTA you guys would get the latin-american Fiats. Their range of products is great. As it is, I'm not optimistic about Fiat's future in the US.

    Please bring 500 e back to US!

    The 500e is not a car well adjusted to the commute distances of the US. The larger battery is just large enough that it might be worth considering but the lower spec variants wouldn't work. I don't think it is a model well adjusted to the US market and it would compete for the tax credit with...

    Citroën Thinks Smaller Batteries, Charged More Often, Leads To Less Time Wasted!

    It was KrisW I think. I don't think STLA Small is based on e-CMP. We need to see.

    I was refraining on commenting because I felt the same way. But I never was a great fan of Smarts either way.

    Citroën Thinks Smaller Batteries, Charged More Often, Leads To Less Time Wasted!

    Yup, precisely iDrive. But they shouldn't sugar-coat that on marketing speak.

    Citroën Thinks Smaller Batteries, Charged More Often, Leads To Less Time Wasted!

    I think this is the completely wrong approach, and seems more like a stupid excuse for the current limitations of the e-CMP platform.

    Please bring 500 e back to US!

    My bet about what global is: Fiat will have the same range in Europe and Latin America.

    There Will NOT Be A Hurricane Plug-In Hybrid, After All!

    This is a good move and anticipating the market trends for when this will be launched in the market. PHEV sales are stagnating and BEV sales are increasing. This makes sure that the Grand Cherokee will accompany market trends while preventing dumping dollars into making a complex system that...

    The 2024 Maserati Grecale Folgore Is “ELECTRIFING”!

    The Grecale BEV arrives at precisely the exact time and will guarantee a successful presence in the EU market where BEVs are taking off. IMO, they should consider launching a single-engine option as well. Pity that someone cancelled the electrification of Alfa's range at the same time they...

    When some exec announces plans for Alfa models for 2027 he is actually talking about 2037.
