As the butt is so damn high, could it have a split rear window like the Mercedes Sportcoupé?

I don't think Leapmotor has much more to offer than electric power modules and batteries. For sure not mechanics or driving dynamics. Read this to compare Grande Panda with Leapmotor T03: https://www.adac.de/rund-ums-fahrzeug/elektromobilitaet/elektroauto/guenstigste-elektro-kleinwagen-vergleich/ And don't blame the French for lack of Italian projects. It was FCA that decided to stop developing anything except 500e in the mid 2010s. I still miss any proof that STLA Small is based on CMP though.

I like the interior apart from the two free-standing screens. Nice fabric, nice layout and seats. But why not a hood for the instruments. Keep in mind that this is the top version. Probably 35–40,000+. The entry level might look drastically different.

For Giulia context: The European market for premium sedans has been shrinking 19% from January to October 2025. Let's hope they find a good receipt … https://www.auto-motor-und-sport.de/verkehr/3er-c-klasse-und-co-keiner-will-mehr-premium-limousinen/?fbclid=IwY2xjawOzeyZleHRuA2FlbQIxMQBicmlkETBOYjZOMWVzQ2dUREoyOWJ6c3J0YwZhcHBfaWQQMjIyMDM5MTc4ODIwMDg5MgABHkfGjR2ejLu8k0eoXU701Xv4tCxcnp_ghwy6vTG8VXc2ETZndgwgIQFl2BC-_aem_qERTRQOeHPlGGRcP9IBpmw

If it offers more than a 25k Big Panda the Fiat prices have to adapt. Has to be seen though. Could be very bare bone. I hope STLA Small SP1 (208/Corsa) will offer 500 km WLTP. Do you think they'll also get entry-level ranges or is that left to Smart Car?

Great marketing by VW as always. They are building up excitement for a product like the 2nd coming of Christ that doesn't really offer more than existing competitors. Maybe the engines are a bit more economical and the loading is a bit faster than the CMPs and R5. ID Polo has the same height as Alfa Junior by the way, just not labeled as a SUV. Strange that the GTI has only a tiny bit more power than the next version. The price of the longer range versions will be crucial. That's where Stellantis fails. I'm sure it will be a solid success because of big brand trust, marketing, network and fleet contracts.

Seems to be a well researched article, while nothing shocking in there. While much needed mainstream models like the Smart Car family or Jeep Cherokee were started under Tavares already, the product outcome by Filosa will take time to shine. So true, the curse of small market share. And a reason why Alfa needs the B segment and unnecessary brand fragmentation should be corrected.

Same for other (non STLA) European products. Chinese seem to benefit from current system. But from 2026 you will get negative points for screen-only cockpits. https://www.euroncap.com/en/press-media/press-releases/euro-ncap-announces-2026-protocol-changes-to-tackle-modern-driving-risks/

So the rear logo stays after all. For me the Astra is Opel's best design on the street, maybe the best-looking current C hatchback on the market. Like other STLA cars it would benefit from a stronger (non-plugin) hybrid. 1.6 HEV – we're looking at you! And is there room for a bigger EV battery?

I don't know if they really left A segment out but STLA Small was always planned to reach the C segment. Check the EV day presentation from 2021. Also, on the Italia plan from 2024 they list the 2030+ factory platforms and cars on it. For Pomigliano it's Small and new Pandina plus compacts but no word about Mini or City.
