It might look similar to the Grizzly – or the made quick logo-change mockups – but the Smart Car is AFAIK not US compliant and can't handle much power. So they would need big updates for the platform and a different engine. While STLA One is meant to go down to affordable B segment and – in my book – will replace Smart Car, normal CMP, EMP2, Small Wide and MP1 = 5 platforms. How are US taxes for Mexico, Morocco and Turkey currently?

The golden times of the German carmakers are over as well. The whole industry is in trouble and has to divide investments between ICE and BEV. I hope we'll know soon what happens with Giulia and Stelvio, but I think a new Giulietta is actually great news for Alfisti. Biggest segment that private drivers actually buy new.

That's correct for the whole STLA brand regrouping. It's more of an adjustment to reality than a change.

They have not. That's just your interpretation. In reality they have just shown a presentation slide of the planned range expansion. Same for Maserati. I don't know why some think it shows all upcoming launches. "More to come". Do you think the industry info about new Tonale in Melfi, insider info about new Giulia/Stelvio and recent official interviews were fake news? This was not a brand presentation for car enthusiasts, it was a company presentation for investors. I hope we'll get an Alfa Romeo presentation or deep interview with Santo Ficili soon.

Could also be Pandina, C1/2CV and 500e.

I think it's only a rough rendering as a placeholder. Same for the green Jeep or that low Opel.

Guys, it reads "more to follow". Don't be so dramatic! But if that "C-SUV" isn't the next Tonale but rather an Alfa Formentor or even Giulietta on STLA One — why do they call it SUV? Okay, they also call the Junior a SUV while it has the same height as an R5 or ID Polo … 😛

It's obviously STLA Small renamed before birth. The start date 2027 and application cadence on Peugeot > Opel > Jeep > Alfa makes it obvious. Small was intended for A-C segments in 2021 but moved upwards and got more capabilites like 800V in the meantime. Looks like STLA Medium is obsolete early. Three platforms: One, Large (to be renamed?) and Frame …?

Do you expect all the brands to present their strategic plans or even tangible models at that event? I don't. Time and attention are too limited for that. Might happen soon after though.

Comunicato stampa Via Stellantis. With possible production in Rennes, France.

So this is suddenly a SUV because of wheel cladding? Looks clearly like the cheap alternative to the ID Polo, with all the plastic in the cabin. Strange huge rear lights. I guess the mature T-Cross drivers will like it. Trend of ugly non-centred wheel designs continues.

I guess with help from Leapmotor.

I hope that internal update comes early with MY27. In best case with it's own door card design now, but at least with the Avenger versions. Maybe also the top of the dashboard. The rest may stay until the MCA. They have to update anyway with internal camera for new EU regulations by July, right? I saw that Avenger also has a new front camera and 360° view.

Is it different apart from the shifter?

Yay, new interior material and door card design! 🥳 Do you think the siblings have to wait 9/18 months for their MCA time or will they get a corresponding update early, like Tonale's shifter/display update for MY25? Would be hard to sell hard plastic Junior doors next to leather-style Avenger doors …
