  1. Aren't the CO2 limits coupled to weight?
  2. How do you recognize an Alfa from behind in general? Actually I think the Junior rear has more distinct elements than other Alfas, that could connect the range: 3+3 light signature, the black spoiler element. You just have to get used to it. Of course black logo and light-spoiler on black car is like a balaclava.
  3. Won't it obviously share components and plant with next Grand Cherokee if they do it? They can import the V6 engine from Italy, if they need one.
  4. If think US-only production is most likely for the E-SUV.
  5. Maserati to Ferrari would lead back to low numbers, focus on exotic luxury. Could be bad for Alfa if they wouldn't share engineering anymore. Alfa could be coupled tighter with DS/Lancia, maybe STLA Medium instead of Large.
  6. The wording looks like personal notes to me.
  7. Is there a technical reason that so many recent SUVs have two-row headlights? Would the main lights (in matrix-led form) sit too high to avoid blinding?
  8. Is there an overview for the different versions somewhere? LP1 Charger, LP2 Jeep D-Segment, LP3 Alfa?
  9. The Ducato, large van family is "X250" by the way. At least the current generation. K9 small van, K0 medium van. https://www.media.stellantis.com/de-de/fiat-professional/press/kooperation-fiat-psa-peugeot-citroen-vorstellung-der-neuen-modelle-fiat-ducato-peugeot-boxer-und-citroen-jumper https://csa-gmbh.eu/marken/stellantis/#x250
  10. The cladding is the promo version as seen on the Junior. If they didn't want attention, they'd gone for matte black. But it's good they are teasing already, there's no current sales to harm.
  11. I do agree, a postponed model hurts Alfa much more than BMW. Those dreamy PowerPoint product plans ended with FCA though. Alfa under Stellantis promised one new car every year for the first five years and so far they delivered with Tonale, 33 Stradale, Junior. Currently Stelvio, Giulia and Tonale II are in the official pipeline, plus the study of "E-Jet". Anything else is just rumours and dreams.
  12. Your perception might be playing tricks on you. They have delays as well. I think of recent VW and Audi models that have delays of many months and the much hyped Trinity project that got delayed again from 2026 to 2032. Volvo EX30 is still missing software features that were promised at launch, same expected for EX90. https://www.golem.de/news/fuehrungschaos-produktion-der-neuen-audi-modelle-erneut-verschoben-2311-179502.html https://www.autozeitung.de/vw-id-2021-preis-reichweite-199020.html https://www.kbb.com/car-news/report-volvo-ex90-to-arrive-with-missing-features/
  13. It's not. Just continuous production of Stelvio until Gen 2 is ready would have been nice. Maybe we can compare the new Stelvio with introduction of STLA Large 800V and STLA Brain plus AutoDrive to BMW's software-defined "Neue Klasse" project with iX3 as the first product. After teasing the platform project for years, the car will be presented at IAA in September. Let's see when it's on the street.
  14. The German Alfa Press release from January which looked back at 2024 already mentioned the Stelvio premiere as the closure of 2025. So no change since then at least. But all the American STLA Large models (Charger, Wagoneer S, Recon) got postponed for a few months and it's important that STLA Brain really works when Alfa introduces this break through. I just don't understand why they can't offer Stelvio and Giulia without a gap. Don't they have two lines in Cassino? Can't the Alfas and the Grecale run on the same? Maybe sales are simply too low for the effort.
  15. The press release clearly says it's the Stellantis vans for IVECO sales. So can we expect the medium van to be replaced in 2026? To be produced (partly?) in Turkey? We already know the big van gets a new generation in 2027.
  16. Normally yes, but not for Alfa sales flops like 159 or Brera. 🙃
  17. That's from the (standard) premium pack.
  18. A "technological update" has been officially announced for mid 2025. https://www.media.stellantis.com/de-de/alfa-romeo/press/zwoelf-auszeichnungen-und-ein-erfolgreicher-modellstart-alfa-romeo-blickt-auf-stabiles-jahr-2024-zurueck Judging by Imparato and Ficili at the Paris Autoshow, I don't expect the next Tonale to arrive before 2027, even if preproduction might start end of 2026. https://www.carmagazine.co.uk/car-news/industry-news/alfa-romeo/imparato-on-the-future-of-alfa/ One has also to keep an eye on the Dodge Hornet, where no successor has been announced. But a top GLH version: https://www.italpassion.fr/it/alfa-romeo/la-dodge-hornet-glh-conferma-lopportunita-di-unalfa-romeo-tonale-piu-potente/#google_vignette
  19. While the Q4 is debuting soon, the Junior got more than 27,000 orders already. And there's a recall to readjust the lane assist and Matrix LEDs. https://www.autoservicepraxis.de/rueckrufe/artikel/doppel-rueckruf-bei-alfa-romeo-licht-und-fas-beim-junior-fehlerhaft-3628347#:~:text=Alfa Romeo ruft in einer,die hierzulande 1.186 Alfisti betrifft.
  20. So they can sell another 27 Grecales until then. The latest Maserati designs are simply too boring for a brand which is regarded as exotic, expensive and bitchy. As an underdog, they won't win anyone with "save" designs. And they shouldn't have gone down to D segment while leaving their classic F segment space QP empty.
  21. Which is very easy, thanks to all the platform mates.
  22. Potential is not expectation. Like: If it's a great success it could make up to 70,000 sales, but realistically we expect around 40,000.
  23. Not the GME T4 Evo, that got the updates from the GME T6 Hurricane and is produced since end of the year in America?
  24. The day of his retirement will come, he's 63 already. 😅 There's simply no long-term naming concept, all those marketing guys seem to think only for the next year. Also at other carmakers, even humourless like Audi (different names for ICE and BEV, gone after brief moment) or Mercedes (confusing EQ* system, gone soon). If they named the GP "Uno", there wouldn't be any confusion with the small Panda and it could have the same name around the world. Even if those of "Panda" name variations work in Italy, they sound strange abroad. "Pandina" sounds like a toy for Children or something very feminine for my German ears.
