Report: Alfa Romeo’s crossover could be named the Stelvio
Report: Alfa Romeo’s crossover could be named the Stelvio
Britain’s AutoExpress reports Alfa Romeo’s new crossover could be called the Stelvio, which sorta makes it sound like it’s named after that flower used to make a sweetener you use for your morning cup of joe. The report hails in after the hint came from Fiat’s aggressive CEO, Sergio Marchionne, who shared the tip while announcing some new details about production for the overdue Giulia. The crossover should be ready to be launched sometime in 2018, granted the company stays on schedule, which as of recent, hasn’t exactly been that. Nonetheless, expect the use of a 2.0L turbochaged four with around 276hp and a twin-turbocharged 2.9L V8 with 505hp and 443 lb-ft of twist. The Stelvio wouldn’t be the only Alfa Romeo crossover however as two more are scheduled to join the Stelvio by 2020. Source: AutoExpress

Alfa... HAHAHAHA
Seriously, **** or get off the pot. Sergio has promised the world and delivered absolutely nothing. What a wasted opportunity. |

Stelvio?
Sounds like an Italian model for romance novel covers. "Who is that?" "Greetings, I am Stelvio" Doodle doo! |

Couple years ago I said that, with time, Sergio is either going to look like a Hero or an Idiot We have the Maserati example (his plan was that the USA & China were going to buy thousands of them) ...the plant now is once again on extended temp layoffs (since Jan). We know he plans on cutting the Dart & 200, instead of making them better. We know this Alfa dream has been a sad story so far ..... needless to say, if it's the "Hero" title he wants - he is running out of time. |

I wouldn't be surprised if Fiat Chrysler is eventually absorbed by a Chinese or Indian company. Truck/SUV sales are strong and they still don't make enough profit to stick around. It costs gazillions of dollars to launch new products and there's just not enough money to keep doing that. It's turning into AMC in the late 80s... nothing valuable left except for Jeep.
The Chinese or Indian companies would want US market access and technology and they could justify it that way. GM and Ford certainly don't want Chrysler. Gas prices go back up again and FCA is dead. I don't think there's political will for yet another bailout. |

And this time around I think the suppliers have branched out a bit more to sufficiently cover their asses. |

I drove the Stelvio Passe, with its 48 switchbacks up one side to the top, down 50 more switchbacks on the other side. That road was declared "the best driving road in the world by the Clarkson Top Gear team.
What a fantastic drive in our new, but broken in, BMW 335xi. |

2017 so in reality it will be 2023 and then slip to 2027. Wasn't Alfa beyond the 8 and 4c supposed to return to America 5 years ago?
