“Ne parleremo a giugno – chiarisce Imparato - prenderemo le decisioni in merito ai piani futuri alla fine di maggio e li comunicheremo poco dopo. Diciamo che l’annuncio potrà essere in due sedi, o a Le Mans Classic di fine giugno, manifestazione nell’ambito della quale stiamo anche organizzando qualcosa di particolare, o al Gran Premio di Silverstone il 9 luglio”. Le due sedi non sono casuali, nel primo caso sarà annunciato un programma Endurance (le voci indicano un progetto LMDh) nel secondo l’accordo con una squadra F1. https://it.motorsport.com/f1/news/f1-bomba-imparato-alfa-futuro-nei-prototipi-o-ancora-nei-gp/10427534/amp/

I'm talking about the quality of the materials in the interior and other areas, as well as the reliability. Little story: my dad's car once was a 316i (made in 2013), and his next one was a Giulia Super 2.0 (made in 2017). The trunk door of the Giulia was much weaker, you had to hold it with your one hand while it was open, otherwise it would fall in your head. He has ordered a Tonale MTJ now thoughJaguar is dying. Mazda will be nowhere in Europe in a few years, if it doesn't get serious BEVs soon. Currently, there's only the MX-30 joke with laughable range. Also, its latest 2 new models were 2 ugly, bulky SUVs, made to appeal to the US and not Europe or Japan. I wouldn't like my favorite Italian sports brand to degrade like that Back in 2021, Alfa Romeo couldn't compare AT ALL with the German brands when it was coming to model range and investments in place for future models. Also the cars had no electrification, plus inferior connectivity and quality. As I said before: JPI took charge of a wrecked brand. And that's a fact. Let's see how Alfa will be in 5 years from nowThe only models that Alfa Romeo will have launched before 2025 are the Tonale and the B-UV. The B-UV won't be sold in the US, while the Tonale is currently sold there only as PHEV. So, switching any of them to BEV shouldn't be a problem. From 2025, Alfa Romeo will do the same with all the rival brands, which is launching only BEVs, cause the Euro7 regs are a joke. Comparing a small brand like Alfa Romeo, whixh also unfortunately went through the terrible leaderships of Marchionne (launched only 2 new models, and those with no hybrid versions) and Manley (did nothing), with giants like Audi, BMW and MB is not fairThe thing is that the projects of the Nettuno engine and the MC20 were already green-lit by the previous ownership (falsely, in my opinion). Also, the Grecale and the GT/GC were already being developed when the ownership changed. So, the current owners had to put ICEs to those cars as well for two reasons: a) to offset the development cost, b) because the Grecale Folgore and MC20 Folgore were not ready yet. So, the switch to full-BEV will come with the 4Porte. Secondo me, the Maserati should've been the first brand to switch to full-BEV for many and obvious reasons: a) it's the forefront of the group, so you should use it as a medium to "advertise" a new tech, b) it's the most expensive brand of the group, so its audience doesn't have a problem with the price of an EV, c) it's a luxury brand that makes grand tourers, and the electric engines are perfect for that type of cars. Secondo me, the fact that this brand made a mid-engined sports car with an F1-tech ICE, was pure stupidity The Alfa Romeo case is totally different. JPI was given a wrecked brand, with little range and a tiny amount of future products planned. It would've been an absolute madness if he had announced all-new ICE models for 2025/2026, while established giants like MB, BMW and Audi have announced that all their new launches starting from 2025 (2026 for Audi) will be BEV-only Maserati has said that they will keep ICE cars in their range till 2030And that's for a few months only. By the end of the year, there'll be 2 mild hybrid versions available for the Avenger, 100cv & 136cv. The 600 will also be available with both, the Kid only with the 2nd one. Next year the plug-in hybrid 4xe version will join the club, but only for the Avenger. The Abarth 600 and the Kid eQuadrifoglio will be BEVs. As for the base all-electric versions, the Kid will have the same one with the Avenger (156cv, 54kWh), while the 600 will have 136cv, along with smaller battery and rangeThe 6C/33 Stradale will be APPROVED in April, not unveiled. It'll be unveiled later this year; I bet on June 24th/25th. The B-UV/Kid will be unveiled in Q4. In around April we should see the Giulia + Stelvio Quadrifoglio MCA, and the New Stelvio Concept will also be unveiled this year (perhaps in June 24th/25th as well). The Museo has scheduled a "100th birthday of Quadrifoglio" event for June 25th, that's why I'm referring to that dayBoth Renegade and 500X will be axed in 2024, as part of the reconstruction/reorganisation of the plant, necessary before the production of the 4 brand-new EVs (DS8, Manta, DS7, Aurelia). I think it was reported by ANE. But, anyway, we'll see. Both Renegade and 500X will have EV replacements in 2026, but not made in ItalyExactly. Also, FIAT is a Core brand, while Alfa Romeo is a premium brand. It is MUCH more difficult to make and sell cheap EVs than premium EVs. That's why it seems like FIAT will switch to electrification more slowly. The Multipla will probably have all-electric and hybrid versions, even in Europe, and the last hybrid FIAT will probably be made in 2030, not 2027 But Abarth is a different brand. You will never see an ICE Abarth again
