Well, Stelvio is planned to get presented in autumn 2025, Giulia in spring 2026. If they do slow production ramp-ups as usually and bring electric versions to the dealers first (like Junior) they still have almost 2 years for Stelvio ICE/HEV, 2.5 years for Giulia deliveries. If I remember right, Imparato said at the Junior interviews in April that they are lucky to have planned STLA large as multi-energy.

I guess Eisenach would make sense. It builds only the Grandland on STLA medium and helps Opel's German identity.

The Manta project is going on, confirmed by Florian Huettl a few weeks ago. Edit: https://www.electrive.net/2024/04/30/opel-haelt-an-plaenen-fuer-elektrischen-manta-fest/

I think the hidden rear handle would have been too high for small persons on the Tonale, the Junior is 10 cm lower. For me the Tonale is a classic, slightly conservative design. Really beautiful with the right options, but can be dull from some angles. For example the rear in grey with lights off is mediocre. Alfa designers playing it save. So they decided to go for a fresh approach with the Junior to get new, younger customers.

Might be. But some points are not about sportiness: 280 hp PHEV: "Doesn't feel like 280 hp at all". And now others have electric ranges up to 100 km. The Tonale has 60–70 km, the 3008 (195 hp) has around 85 km 130/160 hp MHEV: The DCT/engine interaction is rough with hiccups. I don't know if the comments are excessive. But when the Tonale is the last surviving vehicle on Small Wide and GSE, it might be advantageous to switch engines for the remaining three years? If they stick to the claim "only BEV from 2027".

I think it would benefit from new engines. The EB3 hybrid eDCT is rated much better by journalists than the 130 hp DCT combination in the Tonale, the new 1.6 PHEV in the 3008 offers much bigger electric range. The powertrains are regarded as the weak spot of Tonale in many reports I saw. And all models that share the 1.3/1.5 GSE powertrains will be gone next year, I think?

I don't think we have better knowledge or are smarter than the management. And I believe Tavares says things for a reason, to get some things moving. The current numbers are the result of keeping high post-covid-prices (= margins) in a slowing market as long as possible. They have to adjust now, like Citroën already did for their entire range. If I was CEO, I would have planned to close DS and Lancia from the beginning, and move Abarth under Fiat again. I think Chrysler and Dodge just need product. For Maserati has to be decided if it intends to be real luxury or high specced premium. Do they need high capacity by FCA/STLA or exclusive craftmanship by Ferrari? Moving down to D segment was a failure anyway.
