This one can have price advantage and I can see it as a Chrysler in US. Offer it primarily as a 2 row with 3 row as an option. Offer 1.5 P2 MHEV with around 200 HP and optional 1.3 PHEV with 240 HP. Why not?

Anything in the next 2-3 years is either PSA or FCA based with some minor changes. For example STLA Medium and STLA Large, heck even STLA Frame, are all continuation of PSA or FCA projects with some minor changes. We should wait more to see proper STLA project like STLA Small which will not be...

Dunno if it will have SRT moniker but certainly it will be nice for non premium small compact SUV. Of course Tonale is the other one but AFAIK Tonale will not have QV version, not even close. Ex FCA has all tech to do it. This is IMO cost cutting decision. To he clear this predates Stellantis...

Someone said to me that certain cars on Small Wide will have 2.0T.

Ah. I'm pretty much sure that Pacifica, Compass and Renegade PHEV models have LG Chem batteries.

PHEV models are usually with LG Chem batteries, BEV with SDI.

No, it doesn't make sense if they can't show all of the available car models in a single showroom.

LOL That's what Mate Rimac is saying. BEV means the end of cars for middle cars, for most of them. He mentioned car sharing. Od course there are additional limitations like range with German Autobahn usage. Even bigger batteries will not solve it when you are driving at 200 km/h.

I would not put it that way. Simply Tesla is a BEV car maker, exclusively BEV. All others are ICE makers. Transition is for them, not for Tesla.

Pepe, where are Italian designers? Where is Italian design? All I see is French.

I would not exclude that Triple M did it even before. Dream of proper Lancia had died with Sergio I'm affraid.

We'll see. I would not put much faith in it.

And is not boss to Maserati which are at American command. And they have separated Alfa and Maserati in every possible way. At the same time Italian top talent both at design and engineering level had left the company or were degraded. AFAIK Marco Tencone who was Head of Design for Maserati and...

I was very specific in my criteria. I'm not moving it. It's very, very specific. The term of performance PHEV and I when have an example, not one, before your post. Stelvio denies your SUV talk.

Yes, but Ferrari will have top notch tech as always while the same can't be said for Alfa. For example what will differentiate Alfa from Pug when it comes to battery tech? Will Pug be one generation behind? I don't think so. Alfa's positioning is at BMW and Audi level in terms of pricing. You...

No, Pug PHEV powertrain are not performance in a sense of Alfa Romeo performance. And this something which concern s me with PSA. Sergio understood it. Alfa is about performance which comes through driving experience, both corner speed and steering feel. Corner speed and feeling could be...

First of all. Performance oriented PHEVs can only offer modest CO2 reduction. Why? They have smaller battery capacity so that they would not add too much weight. As we know more weight is counter productive for good handling. And this is not something which is based on my opinion. I'm...

That article is sort of mix of various information which could be found on the internet. The truth is. 190 HP version was planned long ago and was planned as the first one. This was some 2 if not more years ago which means that in the final version engine could have 200 HP or more. This version...

Niche engine options are usually there because of brand imaging. For example 2.0 with around 350 HP would do a lot for brand image, especially for Alfa Romeo. Offer it with mechanical AWD, add Focus RS like torque vectoring differential at the rear with classic LSD ar the front. It would be a...
