Alfa Romeo must be the great salvation of the sinking Fiat. Therefore, the brand to compete with BMW and wants to do five times as much as sell cars as last year. That is bloody.

Seven new models before 2018. A Spider in 2016 (4C?) closely followed by sedan and stationuitvoeringen of the Giulia and the final phasing out in 2017 and 2018. The Giulia sedan should go against BMW’s 3-series, with the final phasing out at the 5-series. It doesn’t stop there. About a year or four to two Alfa SUVS is a fact.

State Alpha on repeat? Hear a whole slew of those models actually are not already in production. Back in the days presented Alpha also already an aggressive action plan which stated that in 2013 an SUV and a five-door MiTo and in 2014 a Spider, and the long-awaited successor to the 159. Also it was spoken of a 5-Series/A6 killer with a V6.

Of those plans is the 4C one, however, has been removed, the rest remained in drawers and on the drawing boards. While mother Fiat leegbloedt. The Italians have it also for centuries about an innovative rear – and all-wheel drive for their next models, a system that for now the nickname Giorgio has gotten. And that the MiTo and Giulietta to their nose over. For front wheel drive.

Last year had at most 100,000 new Alfa’s from the showroom, that should be there as soon as possible to 500,000. In 2016 the whole of infringement profitable. Fiat bought Alfa in 1986, but was at present no full new lease of life.

Fiat boss Sergio Marchionne is firmly of the belief that Alpha can what Fiat can not: a higher segment reach. Write ie for the time being only in. (source: Automotive News)
