Olivier François tells about the future of the FIAT brand

[pumadog]

Use your French translator! Always with a grain of salt…

• great return to b-segment in 2022
• 500 to be the only a-segment offering
• 500 ICE to be discontinued in the long term
• Panda to become a family
• Tipo successor with different character
• 500L to be succeeded by a non MPV

This interpretation article is actually quite entertaining:

Francois should be fired. I don' understand why he still works for FCA. I'm usually very positive about FCA executives but not about him.

De Meo was much better. But we know that de Meo is so good that he is now CEO of Renault and presumably in couple of years time also a CEO of Nissan.
I compare de Meo and Francois because marketing is forte for both.
