    AFAIK the last planned Maserati model with V6 60° was Levante. V6 90° was not planned just for Alfa. Also AFAIK FCA is developing new GME T6, an Inline 6 engine related to 4 cylinder GME. Maybe that's a just next step in electrification. GME T4 + BSG. GME T6 + ISG. ISG could make that Inline 6 engine as long as Inline 4.

    Next year was planned as the one for Renegade and later for 500X facelifts. Facelifts should get new engines. Euro 6D diesels with SCR and new gasoline engines from GSE family.

    No!

    Coupe in D segment? There is nothing about in any Alfa's plan. I must say it once again. Even in plans Coupe and Spider are specialty models. That designation is now taken by 4C. So imagine something more exclusive than Giuliani Coupe. I mean, isn't a F-Type nicer than 4 Series Coupe? It certainly is.

    Conference call for Q3 2017? I remember one Conference call from this year. Itwas a question about main competitor for Alfa in the USA and products. Sergio undoubtedly answers it's a BMW and that they will have both products and price to counter BMW products in the USA. Maybe that answer should be a guidance for us about future Alfa Romeo products. Competitors for the 3 Series, X3/X4, 5 Series, X5/X6. And we know that FCA will not have an answer for 7 Series or future X7. Also FCA with Alfa is not interesting in Coupe models which are not specialty. So that leaves us with 2 Series Gran Coupe and X1/X2 competitor. If FCA wants Alfa compact models as a direct competitor to BMW IMO they must be a FWD based.

    You really like long nose?

    Uhm. Why is Small Wide connected to Tipo or 500X? IMO it's same that you think that original Tipo and for example Alfa 156 are the same. BTW, plans were for compact Alfa in Quadrifoglio disguise to have 2.0 350 HP engine. And I don't see how they could not use it on FWD platform.

Refer to your engine oil filler cap for correct SAE grade. Fuel Selection — 2.0L Engine 87 Octane Minimum – 91 Octane Recommended, 0-15% Ethanol.

    And one interesting note about revision. It's less efficient compared to original design. IMO, that's from bad to worse. ZF 9HP is not known for efficiency. As I said earlier. Transmission could be a bottle neck of any future Alfa Romeo FWD model. ZF 9HP is slow and ineficent. And it certainly is not good for QV model. But it provides up to 450 Nm for diesel engines and up to 480 Nm for gasoline. C635 tops out at 350 Nm so it's not good for 2.2 Diesel and 2.0 gasoline engines. And Americans hate DCT with dry clutches. C725 is IMO an excellent choice for Europe with 1.3 turbo GSE. So what could FCA do? They can buy transmission. DCT from Getrag and ZF. They can develop their own DCT with wet clutches. Or, IMO the most viable solution, buy Austin 8 speed automatic. It has converter lock up. It's more efficient than ZF 9HP. It does not have dog clutches. It can ensure up to 500 Nm if not more. And also Small Wide platform is already designed for Aisin 6 speed automatic and this one 8 speed is designed for same space so no re-engineering is necessary. The only one question remains. Is it fast enough for QV?

    One interesting thing. Alfa and Maserati are not using 8 speed automatic transmissions produced by Chrysler under a ZF licence. They are using only ZF made transmissions.
  14. Bare
    Aisin 8 speed for transverse applications. And it must be 2nd generation of it.
  15. Bare
    Euro 6c is related to GDI engines.
  16. Bare
    IMO it's very different. Alfa did not have any influence during base development of GM's engine.
  17. Bare
    Not necessarily. But certainly it would be a blue blood product which Giulia Coupe could not be. What if they are aiming at Jag F-Type price level? And Jag F-Type AFAIK is selling at around 10k units per year.
  18. Bare
    What if it's related to Gran Turismo and Alfieri?
  19. Bare
    Coupe/Spider are specialty models, they are not version of Giulia.

    So Wrangler will not have 2.0 T with 368 HP. It was fake. AFAIK it will have 287 HP. But certainly it's less than 368.

    You have here, from 90 km/h they are more or less similar. From 100+ km/h Stelvio consumes less. IMO, quite achievement from Stelvio. I'm wondering what would be numbers if they offer that engine inside of Stelvio with 48V and BSG.
  23. Bare
    Where is data for city, interurban or highway fuel economy? Or Germans simply put all in the same basket? Also we are talking about automatic gearbox so D mode is all that counts. You will not change gears like on manual so 700 Nm from diesel fall in to the water.
  24. Bare
    Look at Quattroruote numbers. They tested both. F-Pace 3.0 diesel is killed by weight and high Cx. So Stelvio 2.0 TB has better performance and better fuel economy on open roads and highway. F-Pace consumes less in city. But that's it. I presume that most buyers of that kind of car spend most time on highway. What's interesting. Stelvio 2.2 210 HP diesel offers similar performance as F-Pace 3.0 diesel. But Stelvio also offers much better fuel economy.
  25. Bare
    Ahahah, F-Pace. 3.0 diesel with worse fuel economy on open road and highway than Stelvio 2.0 Turbo Benzina.
