But they don't really start at zero. The previous developments on STLA Large (Alfa) and Giorgio Evo (Maserati) can be built on. STLA Brain and Cockpit are (almost?) ready. And in the FaSTLAne presentation they had emphasis on shorter (> 24 months) development times.

I think It's rather a 500 5-door coming. All versions will happen on the same platform obviously. But there's no need to hurry with the current generation. It just needs the electric LFP battery update with a price drop ASAP. And a stronger hybrid wouldn't hurt. The design is still strong, clean and fresh.

It's easy to blame Manley who took over in 2018, but in reality the development of additional models must have been stopped much earlier. The Alfa Giorgio range was supposed to be more or less complete in 2018 to sell 400k cars. I follow Alfa's path since around 2000 and their relaunch plans got torpedoed again and again by lack of money, long term strategy and continuity.

I think the wide c-pillar is because of cost savings: both versions share the doors with windows. And as the slow engine rollout of Grande Panda must have been at least in part engine and gearbox production related, this should get out faster. If the factory can handle it. Wonder if they’ll add EU production later to get EU benefits.

Somehow this was designed before the Polo and it shows. "Back to classic VW" not applied yet. And a very non-dynamic pensioner mover, more like Golf Plus than Tiguan.

Cappellano is talking about both C Alfas. But the wording regarding Melfi is open for interpretation secondo me. But as there's a political meeting next week, things should be clearer. The lines between hatchback/crossover and crossover/SUV are very blurry. Alfa Junior was introduced as a SUV while it has the same height as hatchbacks (R5, ID.Polo). Panda is called a hatchback while it's tall and riding high. Whatever the planned models for Pomigliano were, it was always unrealistic to expect the Astra to go south. I don't know any proper indication for that. Opel needs German presence and production to fulfil it's role. Rüsselheim needs product. And Italy isn't cheap either.

The Astra was never planned to be made in Italy. The Pomigliano model was the Manta (on hold now) or C-crossover. The crossover is now made in Spain with Leapmotor. I thought the Alfa hatchback on STLA One will also be produced in Melfi.
