Keep in mind that those interest charges and scrapping conditions are more market specific than by brand/company. For example you get an Alfa for 2%, 1% or even 0% in Germany. https://www.alfaromeo.de/angebote

Maybe it's whiskers now. 😼 After the single long fangs it turned to three claws already.

Do you think the Fiat Grizzly will make it to Türkye?

So far only PHEV reviews, right? Wonder if they fine-tuned the MHEV as well. Didn't see reviews in other languages yet.

I'd expect some aftermarket tuner to offer alternative Scudetto designs for the Junior. Can't be so hard with a 3D printer?

Giorgio BEV is possible, but laborious, expensive and simply not competitive. Just compare Grecale to new iX3, Macan or GLC. There is a reason Maserati killed the Giorgio projects for new Levante and Quattroporte. If you want, STLA Large is the proper BEV evolution of Giorgio. And Alfa/Maserati don't have the volumes to justify splitting their models on two different platforms for ICE/BEV versions.

I wouldn't bet too much on PHEV. Recent studies show that they deliver only 19% emission reduction in real life – in contrast to theoretic 75%. Outside of WLTP the combustion engine is running much more than claimed, even if you always charge. So there are EU plans to base taxes more and more on real consumption over the next years.

How safe is the plant in Serbia with its ongoing lack of manpower? As the EU and single members are planning BEV support and the E-Car class for "Made in Europe" products only, which Morocco cars wouldn't get – how likely is the shift of some production into EU countries?

As Tonale 160/175 and Junior 135/145 have more or less the same performance (because Tonale is 300 kg heavier, Junior 1.2 surprisingly faster than official numbers in different tests) — Tonale 130/145 would be Alfa's entry powertrain below Junior. Production wise it's not cheaper but adds expense. They should rather offer something between 175 MHEV and 270 PHEV. PHEV adds so much weight and complexity.

Like the Stelvio 2026 leak? I prefer the plate at the bottom. This way they can also switch to non-centered plates for export markets like with the Junior:

Can this really be the case? For Junior 136 + 29 makes 145. How can 160 + 20 make 175 then? With the same logic it should be more like 170 combustion plus 5 electric now. And is the official power reduction of the Plu-In from 280 to 270 maybe a mathematical change as well or real because of the latest emission standard like 70 to 65 for Panda/500? I like the updates, from photos/videos the Tonale looks better planted to the ground now, front appears shorter with the wider air inlet. Has anything changed at the rear, apart from the black/silver logo? I love the Giallo Ocra! 😎

This recent article explains it a bit: https://de.motor1.com/reviews/773417/alfa-romeo-giulia-q4-2025-test/ If they can build the generations paralelly I wonder why they don't start with the new Giulia/Stelvio Elettrica and bring the Ibrida when ready. The old generation will sell close to zero as petrol only anyway. Makes only sense if the whole base has to be modified or the electric version isn't just good enough yet.

Twingo will be built by Ampere in Slovenia. If the E-Car class by EU gets reality I can imagine A segment Citroën and even Peugeot/Opel in Pomigliano. Recently some brand managers indicated the option to go into A segment again.

Stellantis comunica la stima delle consegne consolidate per il terzo trimestre 2025 pari a 1,3 milioni di unità, +13% rispetto all’anno precedente AMSTERDAM, 10 Ottobre 2025 – Stellantis N.V. ha pubblicato oggi le proprie stime delle consegne consolidate. Il termine “consegne” identifica i volumi di veicoli consegnati alla rete, ai distributori o direttamente ai clienti finali e alle flotte, che determinano la rilevazione dei ricavi. Le consegne consolidate per i tre mesi conclusi il 30 settembre 2025 sono state stimate a 1,3 milioni di unità, con un aumento del 13% rispetto all’anno precedente. L’incremento è in larga misura attribuibile al Nord America, sostenuto anche dalla crescita delle consegne su base annua in Europa allargata e Medio Oriente e Africa. Stellantis comunica la stima delle consegne consolidate p...Nord America +35%, in crescita anche l’Europa allargata e il Medio Oriente e l’Africa Something positive for a change! 🙂

I think the interiour is nice and valuable but also rather "vanilla", not very alfa-esque. The Junior feels much more driver orientated.
