News: Ram: Motor Trend Truck of the Year; Warren plant (update) "........the first time any vehicle has won the Car of the Year or Truck of the Year award for two years in a row...." Way to go Maglione !!!!!!!!!!!! EDIT: Articolo di TruckTrend al riguardo: http://www.trucktrend.com/oftheyear/truck/163_1404_2014_truck_of_the_year_ram_1500/ "We've been awarding Truck of the Year since 1979 and have never given the award to the same truck two years in a row. The Ram 1500 makes history as the first back-to-back Truck of the Year winner because it offers all the things truck buyers want in a rig: choice, value, great design, and more than enough power and torque. And with the EcoDiesel, you can add efficiency and guts to that list. Ram has made a game-changing decision by bringing diesel to the full-size market. It's a bold move truck lovers have been begging for, which is why the Ram 1500 is our 2014 Truck of the Year."

Senza parole..............e lo stesso giorno: Fiat's loveless marriage to Alfa P.S.: credo sia l'articolo numero 2365 che scrive sull'argomento, ovviamente tutti dello stesso "tono", casualmente negli ultimi quattro anni.

http://europe.autonews.com/article/20131202/ANE/131209998/marchionne-will-unveil-4th-relaunch-plan-for-struggling-alfa#axzz2mKJFs0Al Qui si fanno nomi e cognomi....qualcuno di voi conosce di fama l'ing. Philippe Krieff ? "The revised Alfa plan will focus on a new rear-wheel- and all-wheel-drive architecture being developed by a small team of engineers based at Maserati's headquarters in Modena, Italy. The team is headed by Philippe Krieff, who reports directly to Harald Wester, Fiat-Chrysler chief technical officer and CEO of Alfa and Maserati.Krieff, a French-born engineer, joined tire maker Michelin in 1987 and became responsible for Fiat's chassis and vehicle dynamics 11 years later. He moved to Ferrari in January 2012 as head of vehicle development. Krieff's team is working on a new vehicle architecture needed to help Alfa compete more effectively against German rivals BMW and Mercedes-Benz, both of which already offer the rwd and awd cars favored by many driving enthusiasts" Per il resto è il solito articolo all'insegna dell'"andò vai se la banana non ce l'hai" di sordiana memoria Prima o poi credo che Ciferri (ed i presunti analisti che intervista - sempre gli stessi !!!!!! - ) dovrà farsene una ragione del fatto che Alfa è off-limits per nonno Ferdinand.

Buonasera !!!! Jalopnik riporta un video di quello che si ritiene sia il nuovo V6 Ferrari per la stagione 2014 montato su un mulo modificato de LaFerrari. Sound veramente molto particolare.......: Is Ferrari Testing Their New F1 Engine In A LaFerrari?

Articolo Quattroruote:Crash test EuroNCAP - Maserati Ghibli, BMW i3 e altre nove vetture - Quattroruote P.S.: "Per la Ghibli va fatto un piccolo inciso, poiché la vettura della Casa del Tridente si è aggiudicata la percentuale più elevata, rispetto alle altre vetture provate, in tre delle quattro aree di valutazione: 95% nella protezione degli adulti, 74% in quella dei pedoni e 81% nella dotazione di sistemi di sicurezza, quest'ultima a pari merito con Infiniti Q50, Mazda3, Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV e Peugeot 308" Video EuroNCap: http://tv.quattroruote.it/video-news/video/maserati-ghibli-si-guadagna-le-cinque-stelle-euroncap/ P.S.: sembra che EuroNCap si faccia pubblicità istituzionale con l'aiuto di Maserati !!!!!

EVO review:

Fiat annuncia niente IPO nel 2013. Tutto rimandato al 2014 entro il primo trimestre Fiat says no Chrysler IPO in 2013

I due articoli fanno sostanzialmente scopa...........tranne che per un particolare, ossia i tempi. Ciferri fissa un target temporale pari ad un anno prima rispetto ai tedeschi. Se teniamo conto che l'ultimo piano aggiornato di Chrysler (comunicato ad inizio 2013) fissa al 2017 la commercializzazione delle nuove berline (nuove Charger, 300, Challenger e probabilmente Avenger) tenderei a fidarmi, sempre sui tempi, più di Autonews che dei tedeschi. Inoltre non è ipotizzabile, sempre per quanto riguarda i tempi, che la fusione non produca su di essi effetti positivi; voci di corridoio da Wall Street parlano di una fusione pienamente operativa entro la fine dell'estate 2014) .

Eureka !!!!!! Aspè ..........Ma si che è lei !!!!!!!!!! Fiat Stilo Giardinetta 2............THE REVENGE !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Il sintesi il pool degli advisors sta convergendo verso una valuatazione di Chrysler che corrisponde ai desideri del Maglionato, ossia 10 mld di dollari, da cui deriva una valutazione di 4.15 mld della quota VEBA. A tali cifre, aumentano le probabilità che il sindacato UAW possa rinunciare alla quotazione e sedersi nuovamente al tavolo delle trattative. - - - - - - - - - - AGGIUNTA al messaggio già esistente - - - - - - - - - - D'ora in poi guardati le spalle, cammina lungo i muri, metti gli occhiali scuri, tingiti i capelli e soprattutto non parlare con gli sconosciuti, tipo un eventuale nuovo collega di lavoro che in realtà non sarà li per lavorare ma per...........

http://www.autonews.com/article/20131122/COPY01/311229976/fiat-seen-gaining-upper-hand-with-chrysler-valued-at-10-billion#axzz2lO63eWvV NEW YORK (Bloomberg) -- Fiat is set to gain the upper hand in negotiations to buy a health-care trust's holding in Chrysler Group if the final value for the U.S. carmaker remains around the level currently being discussed. Bank advisers are considering a valuation of about $10 billion for Chrysler, people with knowledge of the matter said. That would make the 41.5 percent of Chrysler owned by the United Auto Workers trust worth $4.15 billion, less than what analysts have expected Fiat to pay. The trust and Fiat -- Chrysler's majority shareholder -- are disputing the company's value as Sergio Marchionne, CEO of both carmakers, seeks to buy the UAW's stake. The trust is working to determine whether to sell its holding to Fiat directly or press forward with an initial public offering as soon as next month, said the people, who asked not to be identified because the information is private. "It's going in Marchionne's direction," said Sascha Gommel, a Frankfurt-based analyst at Commerzbank. "It's in the interest of both parties to avoid an IPO. In the end, the most likely scenario is that Fiat takes the remaining stake." Investment banks working on the IPO have considered a range from $9 billion to $16 billion, said one of the people. The advisers are currently focusing on a range of about $10 billion to $11 billion for the IPO, said another person. Talks are fluid and the final number could change. Valuations At that level, Chrysler would be priced at 6 times trailing 12-month earnings, data compiled by Bloomberg show. That compares with 8.6 times for General Motors Co. and 12 times at Ford Motor Co. Elon Musk's electric-car maker Tesla Motors, which has a market capitalization of about $15 billion, hasn't posted an annual profit. Marchionne has offered the trust at least $1 billion less than what the labor group is asking, and said the UAW "should buy a ticket for the lottery" if it wants $5 billion or more. "Fiat may offer a premium over the IPO price and still close deal at lower price than expected," said Emanuele Vizzini, chief investment officer at Investitori Sgr in Milan. "It could also help Fiat to buy the holding without a capital increase." Renewed talks The IPO process could give the sides a new basis for negotiation, and Fiat is ready to begin talks with the UAW as soon as the price range is public, two people said. Chrysler may begin formal meetings with potential IPO investors the first week of December, and would outline the valuation in a regulatory filing before that, said the people. "One of the things I hope is that it will become very clear exactly what the markets think Chrysler is worth, which is the only real reference point," Marchionne told reporters last month. "There's a pretty clear process that leads to the IPO, and it places clear road markers that can be recognized by both sides." Marchionne has been trying for four years to combine the companies and forge an automaker better able to compete with larger rivals. Chrysler has reported 43 straight monthly U.S. sales gains and two consecutive annual profits, buoyed by a recovery in U.S. car sales to pre-recession levels. Global automaker "Without a full integration, Chrysler doesn't achieve the potential cost savings it could if it were wholly folded into the Fiat organization," Richard Hilgert, an analyst with Morningstar Inc. in Chicago, said in an interview. "These two companies need to be fully integrated to be a globally competitive automaker." The IPO value may be below what Chrysler is worth in a sale to Fiat, which already owns 58.5 percent of the U.S. company, because stock investors typically demand a discount that reflects the risk of buying into a new share sale. The trust, which is the only seller of shares in the IPO, may not proceed with the offering if the valuation is too low, two people said. The possibility that the IPO could be called off -- because of a sale agreement or if the trust balks at a too-low valuation -- may turn off some potential investors. Investment options "There's a huge number of IPOs out there, and my time is the most valuable thing I have," said Tim Cunningham, a fund manager who looks for IPO opportunities to include in the $91 billion in assets overseen by his firm, Thornburg Investment Management Inc. "There's always value in doing the work and understanding the company better, but it's hard when you don't get the payoff or the option to invest." JPMorgan Chase & Co. and Bank of America Corp. are leading the offering, with Goldman Sachs Group Inc., Morgan Stanley, Barclays Plc and UBS also serving as underwriters, people with knowledge of the matter said. Deutsche Bank is advising the union, another person said. Spokesmen for Fiat, Chrysler, the UAW and the investment banks declined to comment. With the IPO, Marchionne finds himself in the position of running the company that's being listed and also the controlling shareholder that's opposed to the IPO or, at the very least, wants a low valuation for the company he's pitching. Dual role In a recent meeting with prospective investors, Marchionne highlighted his awkward dual-CEO-role during the share sale preparations. Asked by an investor about Fiat, he jokingly said, according to a person briefed on the meeting, "You'll have to ask the Fiat CEO. I think I just saw him in the lobby." The trust needs to maximize the value of its stake to pay for retirees' medical care. It estimated in a filing last month that those costs will be $3.1 billion more than its assets are worth. Marchionne is eager to avoid over-paying so the carmakers have as much money as possible to invest in new vehicles. Control of Chrysler would give Fiat access to the U.S. company's $11.5 billion in cash to help fund a turnaround in Europe, where the Italian company is wading through a deep downturn. Profits from Chrysler have made up for Fiat's losses on the continent, where auto sales are running at the slowest pace in 20 years. The two entities received their stakes as part of Chrysler's 2009 government-backed bankruptcy. While Fiat has the right to buy the trust's stake for about $6 billion, Marchionne has said that he's seeking to pay much less. The two sides have taken their dispute over the valuation of some of the stake to court in Delaware. P.S.: tutto secondo i piani del "malefico" Maglione

Fiat | Here?s More Shots of the Fiat Ottimo | China Car Times - China Auto News "Love the Fiat Ottimo hatchback? We do too. In addition to our earlier report from today, here are some more images to content yourself with. If there was an award for best looking hatchback in China, the Ottimo would certainly be a strong challenger....Who is the Ottimo competing against in China? Obviously the 7th Gen Golf, Chevrolet Cruze hatchback and the VW Lavida. Do any of them look this good? Only the Lavida hatch comes close" Per loro è meglio la Ottimo della Golf 7! Della serie......non è bello ciò che è bello..........è bello ciò che piace !

Occhio che la dolce metà potrebbe frequentare Autopareri sotto pseudonimo !!

Dici bene...........se fosse una world car.....cosa che non è......... Per intenderci..............questa è una possibile concorrente del modello Fiat: Inoltre, citazione da China Car Times: "On the design front, the Ottimo is quite possibly the most stylish vehicle to hit the Chinese market". Car News China: "Good looking car. Now if Fiat opened some more dealers in China it would possibly sell as well". Ergo, è a loro che deve piacere:D...........poi, detto questo, magari ne vendono 1 al mese !!!!!! Vedremo.......
