If it could evolve into a coupe/berlina with rear doors, it could make sense

The new e-208 will have a bigger wheelbase

The Giorgio platform definitely has a future, at least for Maserati: the big restylings of the Grecale and GT/GC are coming, along with the full-hybrid Nettuno, and the full-hybrid 2.0-liter engine

They could recycle parts of previous cancelled projects, certainly (there are so many of them 😂). Given that the Maserati Quattroporte which was cancelled by Tavares (M183/M9S) was planned to be based on the Granturismo platform (Giorgio Sport), and be smaller than the last Quattroporte, I wonder if part of that project could be recycled to an Alfa Romeo project.

They still haven't unveiled the Jeep concept, the second Citroen concept, and the second FIAT concept

Peugeot is looking whether it could be brought in production (I guess the production version could have rear doors) https://www.autocar.co.uk/car-news/electric-cars/peugeot-rcz-returns-sleek-four-seat-gt-production-plans

Looks like it is not! https://www.autocar.co.uk/car-news/new-cars/ds-return-hatchback-roots-next-generation-no3

you ok bro? 😂 ps seriously, I loved it

It is possible that the next-gen Audi A8 will be produced in Leipzig, in the same factory with the next-gen Panamera. According to this article, none of them should be expected before 2030. https://www.autonews.com/volkswagen/audi/ane-audi-a8-built-leipzig-porsche-plant-1009/

What else could the phrase "3 is the magic number" imply? I believe that the plan that leaked ( the one they showed to the dealers) is incomplete. After all, there was a reference to the Alfa Romeo Segmento D model, although it's still "in studio"

I don't know. It's a bit like beauty or attraction; you can define what is a good design and what is not (I guess) but still some people find the Cybertruck attractive. By the way I like the Type 01 - it's super low, super sporty, it is really different from anything else, which I think is important in today's era of chinese homogenisation. I like the interior very much as well, because it has screens, but they're not as dominant as in a Cayenne Electric for example

The launch edition costs 116k €. The versions that will follow will be even cheaper. It is not crazy expensive, given its size and luxury. In my opinion, hats off to Jaguar. They dared to create something innovative. Even if it fails and kills the brand, at least it'll have gone with a bang. Not with a JAC-collaboration "thing"

Audi is selling the Nuvolari (which is literally a "masked" Temerario), and it was making the R8 (a "masked" Gallardo/Huracan) for many years. Alfa Romeo needs a halo car. I dont know what form it should have, but you need something more "integrated" to your lineup than the Bottega. You need something like a new 8C or a new Giulia Q. You cant be Alfa Romeo, and have a C-SUV as your flagship. And at the same time of course you need hatches, SUVs, C-Cross etc to make money

In one week, the syndicates will meet with Stellantis to discuss the future of Cassino, in Rome. I remind you that on October 20, Stellantis will unveil to the governor of Lazio the future production plan of Cassino, along with the future Maserati products (in render form, I guess). https://www.alessioporcu.it/economia/stellantis-riparte-cassino-no-il-paradosso-che-lascia-indietro-il-lazio/

It's not "between the lines" he clearly said it in an interview. It could go into production. He just cant give himself alone the green light, and there is not enough budget

The all-new Q5 that was launched last year has a length of 4.72m. The all-new Q3 that was also launched last year has a length of 4.53m. The new SUV (it wont be named Tonale 😉) will have a length of ~ 4.66m, much closer to the Q5 than the Q3. The fact that it will be FWD is not a problem - after all the Q5 is also FWD. The problem is the lack of a mechanically AWD version with a 2.0l engine - especially for the US market. Let's hope that a successor based on STLA One will arrive soon after 2030, along with a smaller SUV (a real Tonale II) because you cant fight the Q3/X1 with a C-cross

The Tonale II will have a length of about 4.66m. There is no C-UV that long, it's between the 2 segments

Maserati will not be present in Paris. A concept could be unveiled in December

Unveil is scheduled for the first half of 2027

The 2 Active Tourer is axed. The X9 is on the way as a 5.4m-long monstrous SUV. https://www.autoexpress.co.uk/bmw/370553/all-new-bmw-x9-works-rival-cadillac-escalade-and-top-range-rovers https://www.autoexpress.co.uk/bmw/2-series/370552/official-bmw-2-series-active-tourer-all-set-get-axe

This is no German car forum, we are a pessimistic chat 😂

Exactly. Simply, a platform for a new Giulia does not exist, and there is no point in pouring any more money to Giorgio. The new Stelvio, in a way, will be the new SUV that will be made in Melfi

The DS3 that would be made in Zaragoza is definitely dead. Given that DS is now under Citroen's management, I would say that this concept might have some things in common with the second Citroen concept. It's a shame we wont get a new Musa concept 😅

Difficult. Talking about Maserati, if the european group is BMW, according to italpassion the deal fell because it required a significant investment

I understand it. To avoid any further confusion, the reference to Maextro has been removed.
