  1. It definitely is Jeep K8. From https://www.sema.org/sema-news/2017/01/a-glimpse-at-vehicle-customization-in-china: Jeep currently produces the Cherokee and Renegade in China. In November, Jeep will launch the first domestically produced Compass, and it will begin producing two models, the K8 and K8 PHEV, made only in China in 2018, said an FCA executive. The K8 and K8 PHEV are longer versions of the Cherokee and are aimed at competing with the popular Toyota Highlander. The K8 will carry a 2.0L turbocharged engine mated to a nine-speed transmission.
  2. 2 platforms are less than 3. IMO, that's the main reason if they opt for that direction.
  3. Let's say that in that particular case will VAG retire MLB. A6 and A8 will also switch but to MSB. It's still just a speculation. Let's say that in that particular case will VAG retire MLB. A6 and A8 will also switch but to MSB. It's still just a speculation.
  4. First is tall Golf while other two are tall Passat. Or I'm wrong? And when I heard the possibility about next gen A4 switching to MQB.
  5. Something is wrong with American air. Communist Reports and Chrysler have many years of "love" relationship.
  6. http://www.autopareri.com/forums/topic/62802-2017-alfa-romeo-giulia-20-first-test-two-outta-three/ IMO, Motor Trend done a huge comparison test. I have seen tests from 330i, A4 2.0T quattro, XE 25t, S60(twincharged engine), IS 200t....
  7. I didn't read that till now. Pomigliano is something what's pushed from Unions. But I will not exclude Melfi. Yes. Manley said in LA that Compass from Brazil could go to Europe if there is a supply shortage. Back in 2014 plan. I think it was in 2014. FCA clearly stated 3 models on all new platform. B segment SUV and hatchback and C segment sedan. So... X6H, X6S and Jeep. It will be produced in India. In India due to taxes it's essential to offer a SUV or/and hatchback which are shorter than 4 meters.
  8. Basically it's for now like that but it's not set in stone and changes could happen. They already said if demand in Europe would be to high they will import some smaller number of Compasses from Brazil. I will also not rule out possibility of Italian Compass.
  9. Officially Compass offers similar leg room and luggage capacity as Jeep Cherokee in a much smaller packaging. IMO, they will try not to further cannibalize Cherokee sales so they will hesitate to offer 2.0 GME in USA for Compass.
  10. I was expecting 2.2 diesel. IMO a 2.0 with 170 HP is no good choice. But they will need to change all diesels in about two years time because of Euro 6c. Unfortunately new petrol GSE and GME engines are not ready.
  11. Dimensions? IMO, the only dimensions which matters are interior. And in that respect this iQ platform is a very space inefficient.
  12. So basically... I could be right when I'm speaking about necessity of more modern turbo 1.0 and 1.3 engines for Tipo? I know that it's not important in Italy but even here in Croatia I see that private buyers of Astra or Golf are opting a lot for 1.0 or 1.2 or 1.4 turbo. We have heavy CO2 taxes. And I forgot. Number of 1.0 TSI Golfs?

  14. Well. It seems less and less like a low cost. Better interior design could help there in the future. Keep in mind that outside of Italy private buyers want more and more small petrol engines with low CO2 emissions. For most countries both 1.4 FIRE and 1.4 T-JET are not important and technologically outdated. But new 1.3 Firefly and future 1.0 turbo and 1.3 turbo should a lot help with sales.
  15. http://www.motortrend.com/cars/alfa-romeo/giulia/2017/alfa-romeo-giulia-quadrifoglio-bmw-m3-mercedes-amg-c63-cadillac-ats-v-comparison/ First Place: Alfa Romeo Giulia QuadrifoglioTHE BEST ALL-ROUNDER To judge a brand-new car’s expected reliability by the reputation of a car produced 30 years ago is absurd, but bad reputations are tough to shake, especially one as well earned as Alfa Romeo’s. Alas every conversation we had about the Giulia Quadrifoglio included concerns of impending catastrophic breakdown. To our surprise, the Alfa showed no sign of weakness during this long, abusive test. Instead, it charmed us all and crippled the competition, claiming an easy victory. Why so easy? The sheer breadth of its capabilities. The Giulia is a jack-of-all-trades and master of most. Whereas most cars do one thing well at the expense of everything else, the Giulia simply does everything well. For example, it rides so smoothly, is so quiet inside, and cruises down the highway with such relaxed confidence that we GPS-verified its speedometer to ensure it wasn’t optimistic by 15 mph. But then, with the mode selector in Race mode, the Alfa forgets about luxury, transforming into a violent sports sedan with a bad boy attitude none of its three competitors can come close to matching. On track, the Alfa demonstrates athleticism nearing the Cadillac’s but manages an even quicker lap time. The Giulia’s torque-vectoring rear differential helps put every one of its 505 horsepower to good use. There’s no accidental tire smoke here. In fact, the Giulia doesn’t like to do powerslides; it just wants to be fast. Speaking of fast, the Alfa’s steering uses an obscenely quick ratio, 11.8:1 with just 2.3 turns from lock to lock. The electrically assisted steering is as light as a Ferrari’s and almost as precise, giving its driver the impression that the Giulia is weightless. Aided by hyperaggressive 60-tread-wear Pirelli P Zero Corsa tires, cornering grip is yuge, which left us puzzled when the Alfa tied the BMW for the least skidpad grip of the group. Ignore that number. In fact, ignore all numbers because whether driving in a straight line, in corners, or on a racetrack, the Alfa is incredible. Over broken, twisty tarmac, this sedan’s family lineage becomes clear. Ferrari’s former chief engineer Roberto Fedeli is now Alfa Romeo’s chief technical officer, and the Quadrifoglio’s dynamics bear his stamp. This five-seater possesses the same preternatural ability as the best recent Ferraris to follow your wishes no matter how absurd the request. It does things that seem impossible, feeling like it could change direction while airborne. It shrugs off jumps, bumps, surface changes, and camber swaps as if the laws of physics were rewritten especially for it. You know there must be electronic trickery happening, yet you feel none of it. And better, all of this capability is met with equal parts fun, and that’s something so often missing in very fast cars. The Giulia Quadrifoglio is the closest thing to a Ferrari sedan you can buy. ...
  16. I asked not only a model but also how much wide. Here the Porsche was with freakishly wide 265/45 front and 295/40 back. But if Giulia's times are orientation than Stelvio with 2.2 diesel 210 HP will be no slower than 1:24.50.
  17. Which tires are on Stelvio? Interesting how it compares to hard as a rock Macan: http://www.quattroruote.it/news/tempo_sul_giro/2014/12/10/porsche_macan_il_giro_di_pista_a_vairano_video_.html
  18. It sounded very odd at the time. Sand cast for a mass produced block? It's not likely. Also it's not likely that 350 HP version will use HPDC block. When you take all into account a LPDC for Alfa's GME sounds most viable solution.
