Based on personal experience I believe the Stelvio is a very fine automobile. Great driving dynamics, perhaps the most stunning styling in this segment and a quality power train for most demanding drivers. It is exhibition number one of what happens when a product is deprived of needed updates and refinement, it whithers on the branch. Committed to the electric only hoax, Alfa Romeo funneled the funds historically committed to these updates to this black hole of PC thinking that now is being exhibited for your scrutiny as the direct cause of the Cassini debacle. The Stelvio, in particular, was gaining tremendous traction in many markets for a number of years, but that momentum crashed when the branch whithering process set in as the product quickly fell behind the competition and became “yesterdays news”.
Let hope the new products can restore the momentum, but so much damage has been done, doubts arise. Ditto for Dodge and its failing Dayton, Chrysler and its floundering leadership and the avarice of top executives who in essence stole from the company to line their pockets. So sad.
Indeed Cassini is exhibit number one and it is not pretty. Stellantis chose a black hole and stuck with a bad guy too long. Let’s hope enough interest remains to dig Stellantis and its brands out of this self inflicted tragedy.

They must be putting lawn mower engines in these cars too, or trying to force the the customers into electric. I am not buying anything from them anymore. After paying over $50k on a Grand Cherokee that spent 3 months out of the 1st year of the trucks life in the dealership and finding out they don't want to put a full engine in a truck anymore, I'll look elsewhere.
