- Alfa Romeo will stop production of its C segment sedan, the Giulietta, by the end of 2020. According to the manufacturer, the hatchback will be replaced in the Alfa-Romeo range by the C segment SUV Tonale , expected in 2021. It is strange to replace a sedan with an SUV, but it is true that in the case of Alfa-Romeo, investments have been lacking for years on the part of the FCA group. The 2010 Giulietta sedan saw its replacement postponed several times while an SUV of the same segment was being studied, following the success of the Stelvio. Finally, the SUV Tonale killed the replacement for the Giulietta, while in the D segment, the Giulia cohabits with the Stelvio.
- This planned deletion of the Giulietta follows that of the 4C in 2019 and that of the Mito in 2018. It should be added that the project of the Alfetta sedan (segment E) was abandoned before being industrialized and that the SUV of segment E (based on the Maserati Levante) has been carried over to the Greek calendars. Suddenly, the Alfa-Romeo range will be reduced in 2021 to the minimum, since it will be composed of only three models: the Giulia, the Stelvio and the Tonale.
- The PSA group, which will have to merge with the brands of the FCA group, will have a lot to do to completely rebuild the Alfa-Romeo range. This brand has been steadily losing ground since the early 2000s, due to calamitous management, despite a slight upheaval in 2018 due to the relative and brief success of the Stelvio. Sergio Marchionne's extravagant goals for this brand were completely missed. The greatest caution is therefore imperative for the future.
