I remember that STLA Small was designed to cover lower C segment from the beginning. Up from 3.70 cm A segment. I read that 1.0 FF is used in the 500 instead of 1.2 EB because of space. Otherwise it should be economic to concentrate on one low-end engine in the long run. It's good that they update the 500e battery pack now, but they must update again in 3 years and not fall asleep again. The market changes fast. Hopefully so fast that an electric car is simply better in every aspect in 5–10 years.

Is "STLA City" official now? eMini is pre-Stellantis after all. As François likes to talk so much I would love to read his excuses why Fiat didn't update the Punto on the existing platform 12–13 years ago (like Corsa D to E), why they didn't prepare an update to the 500e 3–4 years after launch (they could imagine competition wouldn't stand still) and why they didn't prepare a 500 hybrid in time when it got obvious electrics wouldn't fill the whole market in 2024. And when he will retire. 😊

But you lose all the canvas for post-its and other accessoirs, like shown in the Centoventi. Seriously that would be a bad position for sight and passenger reach. Do the base versions have a radio, controlled by the smartphone and steering wheel?

Opels should be produced in Germany whenever possible, as Alfa in Italy. Simply for brand image. A closure of Rüsselsheim would be a nail in the coffin of Opel as a brand. They'd rather close Eisenach. Don't forget the "Manta" is still in the pipeline. Promising Alfa models shouldn't put back because of Lancia. Lancia is very italy-centric and who knows if the comeback works out. They'd better think about the Lancia/DS competition.

Let's do the math: Known dates are Q2/2025 Compass presentation, 2026 Compass hybrid deliveries and US launch, 2027 Tonale presentation, maybe SOP late 2026. Likely Tonale II launch: Presentation early 2027, customer Elettrica deliveries fall 2027, Ibrida early 2028. We know they need 6–9 months to ramp up. Tonale MCA mid 2025 would give the Ibrida 3 years on the market until the new generation picks up. Totally fine if we pretend Alfa Romeo was a normal car brand without breaks between models. 😉 And Mito got a facelift 2 years before production stop, 3008 got the hybrid only 1 year before the new generation. The Tonale PHEV is behind competition and is the last to use the 1.3 AFAIK. No rumours about a Hornet successor so far.

Black would be my last choice for the Junior. I love the rear in other colors. The light/spoiler strip needs some contrast. Of course the base wheels are super ugly. Comparing the two photos there's quite some camera distortion by angle and maybe focal length. Junior appears more narrow while it isn't in reality.

The Fori are fine in real life, the Aero might be okay too. The Turbina is simply ugly, Petali way too comic. Despite aerodynamics they could do better. I hope the INTENSA series doesn't use Petali. And I don't think every Alfa wheel has to come in phone dial style. Good thing: the choice for aftermarket is huge thanks to Peugeot, Opel and Citroen.
