We'll know more when we know more - until then, the discussion will rage on and plenty will take rumors at face value because they can't be bothered to invest any time in thinking about the realities of it.

My take - if Sergio still wants Alfa to be the world-player he thinks it can be, he needs the sales volume of companion Dodge models to make that happen. That said, Alfa doesn't need a minivan or an SUV.

As such, any changes aren't happening overnight.

Do the same people refer to Audis as tarted up VWs?

It would have been interesting to see the Giulietta "americanized" for safety, crash, and emissions and then offered here...

But, we know that Dart's role was also to meet several required ownership goals as quickly as possible...Giulietta may have been considered a distraction or threat.
