@Graziano68dt Wrong platform and models for Melfi. God wouldn't help them. One could not come sooner but even it could be ruined by wrong powertrain strategy which I'm pretty much sure will happen in Europe.

Federalization? For what? How would it improve STLA M to be more attractive for US? Let's not forget that vast majority of this segment in US still has 2.0 turbo engine and mechanical AWD. I also must add that current generation Tonale has started to have much more favourable reviews since it has 2.0 turbo Q4 in the US. It tells something.

Duster is considered a B segment SUV across the Europe and this is Duster's competitor and thus it's a B segment SUV. Low cost large B segment SUV. Although we may debate how affordable this will be. After all Dacia has Bigger for C segment which is I think sold as Renault Boreal in Turkey. Speaking about Turkey. Dacia will build Striker there and I would not discard that they wil sell Renault or Dacia itself there. And now let's look at the sad part of the story. OF wants to convince us that this is a Tipo replacement. Not it isn't. He wilalso say that Grizzly will with a single model take on Duster, Bigster and Striker. No, it won't.

It will be called Hornet. GLH may be a version of it. So it should remain a compact. More or less.

For sure US will not get STLA M based Compass but STLA One based is in the plans.

https://www.freep.com/story/money/cars/stellantis/2026/08/14/stellantis-eyes-canadian-plant-sale-delays-belvidere-plant-production/91306570007/ The news of the potential sale in Brampton comes as Stellantis confirmed it will take another year to retool the Belvidere Assembly plant to build the Jeep Cherokee and later, the Jeep Compass, in the United States.

Current generation Compass or any STLA Medium based car is just badly designed and engineered for US market.

What's the difference in comparison to this: https://www.borgwarner.com/docs/default-source/default-document-library/2017_whitepaper_ebooster_en.pdf?sfvrsn=7a0bcd3c_24

This engine is available since MY26 in US. So nothing new.

The major sin is to push with STLA Medium when STLA One is just around the corner.

Narrowness of this particular platform at the shoulder height, poor interior design with small and poor infotainment for modern standards. Lack of 4 cylinder engines. What could go wrong? Exterior is nicely designed but technically it lacks in some departments. In general for all Stellantis products, and this one included, they're not planning product to be attractive across the whole Europe. It always seems that they only look at the French market and French taxation system and that's it.

Hahahaha. Still no technical data. What a...

It's way too narrow.

@Beckervdo Sorry. Actually Pentastar has different numbers for cylinder. Some engine manufacturers just count cylinder numbers differently and that's what Chrysler did with the Pentastar. It can happen with Vee engines.

@Beckervdo Isn't it 1-4-2-5-3-6 firing order for V6 60°?
