[Auto] Would you like an Alfa Romeo Giulietta related to the 308? Attentive…

[#Steeven.™]

The Alfa Romeo Giulietta has been one of the most maligned compacts in recent years. When the FCA Group decided to resurrect this mythical name, we all thought it would be successful. However, the market and customers took it upon themselves to nip their aspirations in the bud. The reasons for this were many and varied but what we all agreed on is that her beauty was unparalleled in a segment full of clones.

Be that as it may, its production ended days before 2021 came to an end. He said goodbye quietly and through the back door, but it seems that his departure will be momentary. Since the Giulia and Stelvio debuted, the Italian firm had plans to resurrect it, but it seemed that it had left them behind in favor of an SUV: the Tonale. However, now that Stellantis has started life, the situation could change radically.

This new Alfa Romeo Giulietta will use the PSA Group's EMP2 base

According to various sources, including L´Argus, the Alfa Romeo Giulietta will come back to life before 2025. Apparently, Carlos Tavares would be clear about where to give this new compact. He would be at the top of his offer, as now Alpha will occupy the premium spectrum. For this they would use the latest evolution of the EMP2 base on which the Peugeot 308 or DS 7 CrossBack are based. But it wouldn't be the only thing they would borrow.

From Opel, they would take their IntelliLux LED lighting technology and from DS the know-how necessary to create a high-quality interior. If to this combination we add an Alfa Romeo-style design and the latest active driving aids, its level will be very high. In this way the Audi A3, BMW 1 Series and Mercedes-Benz A-Class could have a very tough rival to crack. Regarding the mechanical offer, there would also be great news.

This new platform will be released by the new generations of the DS 4 II and Peugeot 308. Unlike the current one, it is extensively modified to house one hundred percent electric versions. Therefore, this hypothetical Alfa Romeo Giulietta could use a really wide range. It would accommodate gasoline and diesel versions as well as other hybrids, plug-in hybrids and electric. In addition, sports versions could arrive.

The last data that L´Argus points out has to do with its possible arrival and production center. Being a model based on the EMP2 platform, the factories in Mulhouse and Rüsselsheim could take over its manufacturing. The question remains whether the Italians will forgive Stellantis for this "infidelity" and whether his arrival in 2023 will not be too late. Would you like to see him again on the streets? I'm wishing.
