Renagde SRT? Maybe Renagade Trackwhawk. But that would also very likely be advent of Abarth 500X. Full LED GSE T3 GSE T4 mild hybrid Euro 6d diesel

I'm still wondering if Portofino is on a modular platform or not. One interesting thing. Father of Giorgio platform left Alfa and rejoined Ferrari. French engineer Phillipe Krief is: Direttore tecnico - Head of R&D. Ferrari. giugno 2016 – Presente (1 anno 6 mesi) I believe that E segment Alfa models will have two 6 cylinder engines in the line-up. I'm also sure it will not use 350 HP 4 cylinder engine. Aluminum is past tense. We will see more and more plastic composites. And with the time it will be cheaper compared to metal. -
You completely misunderstood my message. It was about some German 3rd party or car magazine drivers which broke Nurburgring records with some Mercedes cars.
-
Based on lap times someone would think that Germans are sending special cars with special tires to some German media which are 3rd party reviewers and then they broke Nurburgring records. Or shorter. Germans are top class cheaters.

XE wagon?

Toro is a pickup and BOF or unibody design is a very important there. Crossover of similar dimensions would most likely have better torsional rigidity. But IMO that huge 2.99, wheelbase is unnecessary for Small Wide based 7 seat crossover. Maybe even with around 2.75 they could do fine. I still have not seen CUSW car which is not V6 capable. Apparently even Dodge Dart was V6 capable. And I don't see desire from FCA to make it Inline4 only although I would welcome such a solution. What's common in cars with modular transverse engine platforms? Which dimension? And if they are designed with Inline 4 in mind than styling is the biggest variable which changes front overhang dimensions.
-
Toro is a C segment? LOL. I don't how you can even define a segment for such a car, not to mention this modular world. Toro is not a BOF design and thus box is just a minus. It would be easier to make a crossover of such a dimensions. For front overhang. It's both platform and style related. CUSW has longer front overhang compared to Small Wide. One is designed for V6, one is not. AFAIK Grande Punto and Tipo have similar front overhang length. On Punto Evo it's slightly longer. 147, 159... All had disastrously long nose. I just hate that.

Fiat Toro, 2.99m
-
Let's speak in this way. Which 7 seat crossover/SUV models we have in the EU? How long are they? How wide are they? Are they designed/engineered with V6 in mind like CUSW is? Keep in mind that C200 was 4.9 meters long with relatively short wheelbase. This Jeep will be around 4.85 meters long. I mean. Both are to big for Europe. Their packaging is ineficent. Toro is a unibody. It's not a BOF. Big opening just penalises it.

Oh, no! 350 HP from 2.0 with e turbo and 48 V. I never heard about it.

AFAIK FWD is or was considered for compact Alfa models. But CUSW was never under consideration.

Actually. It slightly reminds of this because it's very rectangular compared to current Jeep models: But it will keep some Jeep interior design cues. It will unmistakable be a Jeep. Some parts are similar executed as on Stelvio: I marked it with red. Similar triangles as on Stelvio. They will be in some trim levels wrapped in leather as in Stelvio. And upper part of IP will be protruded towards passenger as in Stelvio. I know. It's difficult to visualize something you haven't seen. Most likely you have a right. IMO, they are in search of partner for Giorgio based cars in China. Most likely they will still import Grand Cherokee in China. But currently Grand Cherokee has not desirable 2.0 turbo in the line-up. This Grand Commander will have it. Chinese don't care about driving dynamics, about off-road capability. They want big interior and luxurious feeling. For USA and EU? IMO, for EU CUSW is certainly not an appropriate platform. IMO, Small Wide is better for us.
-
It will replace Grand Cherokee in China. Very nice interior with nice materials. I have seen central console. I must say they are heading in good direction with interior styling. Much nicer compared to current Jeep models. I also believe there will be 5 seat version. Chinese people just love enormous knee space at the back seats. They have chauffeurs. Dodge is heading in different direction. With Chrysler or Fiat they could not ask high price as with Jeep.
-
And I must say that interior is a evolution of current Jeep interior styling but they changed or updated it in a good way. IMO, most of you will be positively surprised. To me it looks better than Cherokee or Compass. Because I have seen it I must wonder why they didn't change Cherokee's interior.
-
Interior looks very upscale.

500X and Renegade on Page 65??? Do you have it?
-
It will be interesting to see engine line up for future models, especially for E segment. IMO, planning is tightly connected to next generation Ghibli and QP including powertrains. Interesting that at similar time Jeep will unveil next gen Grand Cherokee, body code WL. Sergio repeatedly mentioned Giorgio platform when he talked about next gen Grand Cherokee. It will also have GME T6 engine. It should be a 3.0 liter turbo Inline 6. And also around 2020 and 2021 most likely there will be Dodge products made on Giorgio platform. They will be produced in Canada. Actually when we are talking about all future big cars from FCA than Giorgio platform is always in the mix.

Why you didn't count Cherokee's Chinese sales? But I pointed to something else. A mas market car made in the USA can not be cost competitive in Europe. Maybe it will be more cost competitive with this newly available production capacity. And RAV4 starts from 27k euros in Italy. Cherokee starts from 40k euros.
-
It's planned for GME T6 to debut on new Jeep WS (that's Wagoneer and Grand Wagoneer) which will be based on new RAM 1500. Actually they plan to offer it at the star of WS production. The second car on which they plan to offer GME T6 at the start of production is a Jeep Grand Cherokee WL. If they stick to the plan and according to Sergio's words it's Giorgio based.
-
Well... You don't make mass market car in the USA and sell it in the Europe. Just that 10% tariff, ouch.

But If you read it carefully than you know that advantage of micro hybrid is almost non existent. IMO, there is only one way. That way are mild hybrids. And the one inside of Wrangler is on low evolutionary step compared to what will be available in the future.
-
Micro hybrid inside of Compass. Where? If you are talking about India than it was just a consideration to do so.
-
48V. But for European market it will not have mild hybrid system. Awful decision if you ask me.
