Stellantis has unveiled its Fastlane 2030 plan with a €60 billion investment and 60 new models, but the absence of the long-awaited Giulia and Stelvio replacements has set off alarm bells. While Peugeot and FIAT receive a clear boost, Alfa Romeo seems relegated to the background, raising doubts about its future within the group.
The STLA Large platform does not guarantee a future for Giulia and Stelvio 🚗
The Fastlane 2030 plan relies on STLA platforms, designed for electric and modular vehicles. However, Alfa Romeo does not appear in key development announcements. While Peugeot and FIAT have detailed roadmaps with launches in their main segments, the Italian brand lacks technical confirmation on the use of STLA Large for its rear-wheel-drive models, suggesting a cost-containment strategy that prioritizes mass volumes over sporting heritage.
Alfa Romeo: the forgotten child at the €60 billion dinner table 🍽️
With €60 billion on the table, it seemed that even the boardroom coaster was going to get a facelift. But Alfa Romeo has been left empty-handed, like the cousin invited to the wedding but seated at the kids' table. While FIAT prepares a new Panda that will likely conquer the world, Alfa fans await news of a Giulia that, at this rate, will arrive when we are all already riding hoverboards.
