They all had big plans to sell cars online, directly via website, and skip the dealers. Logically that didn't work with such expensive products. It's not like ordering an iPad. Now the dealers got more important again. I hope they invest in the network, specially in Alfa's thin one. But I agree, the configurators could be so much better.

Junior has some different components and tuning than Avenger, for example more direct steering also in standard versions. No wonder way more Progresso shields are on the street so far, since all Speciales (= launch deliveries) have them. secondo me they should be selectable like wheels. Any info on MY26 changes?

On the one hand it's boring to see the identical tech everywhere, on the other hand it's great that all the brands get a hot hatch again. But they must get the EV prices down.

My harsh opinion: Nostalgia aside - common sense screams since years that it’s too late to rescue Lancia. At best it can be a local double brand with DS, like Vauxhall with Opel. Even more common sense says DS won’t make it as well. Will Ds8, Ds7 and Gamma combined reach 15,000 sales a year? Rather 10,000?

They made very good, fun cars with Junior Veloce and Abarth 600. They are just way too expensive. And Abarth has the same BEV problem as Dodge: Brand image is set very much on hard & loud, while BEV are smooth & silent by nature. If they can't sell the planned 600s, they can get rid of the components with an Abarth Line for the Ibrida. 🙃

What do we make of this interview between Top Gear and Santo Ficili? It's no direct quote but the editor still expects the Stelvio BEV debut for end of this year. Last minute changes to the front for combustion engine cooling according to Ficili. “There will be PHEV and HEV and BEV.” And the deep facelift for Tonale late this year. https://www.topgear.com/car-news/interview/alfa-romeo-boss-quadrifoglio-can-be-bev-it-can-also-be-ice

I can't believe personal taste of one person is the only reason for such a major delay of a critical project. The original design has been approved by the team after all. Big money has been spent. There must be other aspects to it. Maybe different shortcomings came together and they said: ok, it's not competitive yet. We'll move it behind Giulia and do it right. Or they want to sync it with Maserati? I hope the picture gets clear and logical when we see the new brand/industrial plan with facts and not only rumours.

I still don't understand why the battery update hasn't arrived already. Even if they bet 100% on BEV when developing the 500e, they must have planned updates from the get go? Olivier François should keep his face out of cameras regarding his mismanagement with this. He planned wrong under FCA and kept the same route under STLA.

But if they really intended to bring out more Alfas in 2017, 2018, 2019 — did they even start to develop them? Or was the best-case scenario "let's see how Giulia and Stelvio sell and then green light the next model so it's ready in > 2020"?
