Sergio must love seeing Alfa up 3000% while Dodge and Chrysler tank.  Makes it easy to divert all resources to Alfa and shut down the sinking brands and then sell Alfa and Jeep as separate pieces and take a huge golden parachute.

Alfa has been a sunk brand for 15 years. He is using money from Jeep and Ram to necromance the brand.  I wouldn't be surprised if he tried Lancia next (down to just selling the rebadged 300 as the Thema, only in Italy)

Easy to go up 3000% from the previous when the previous year was essentially zero. f@#k Alfa and Sergio.

Alfa sales are still crap but Sergio will get paid by selling pieces of the company to make money.  So that is what he is going to try to do.

Note, SUV's are the deal.  And see, VW finally gets it.

Yet it’s Alfa and Fiat that are the sinking brands and always have been. Sergio is an idiot and a thief.

Glad to see things are heading up...

Noticed many fattened the discounts a bit, though there are still quite a few 2017s out there around me. If they up the discounts a little bit more, I think it's possible to have some positive figures to round out the year....

Not all the news is good.  Buick down 20%; Dodge and Chrysler down at least 16% each; FIAT down 24%.

Buick slid despite having THREE crossovers; Chevrolet is up 17% with how many crossovers....?  Some things are weird these days.

Sergio is an idiot if you are a fan of the cars FCA makes.  But the Angelli family is paying him to make money, not sell cars, and corporate raiding and selling off pieces is how to make quick cash to line the family pockets.

Dodge is down simply because of the loss of the Dart and mostly because they are phasing out the Grand Caravan production.  Chrysler is down simply because of the loss of the 200.  Jeep is down mainly because o the loss of the Patriot.  You do actually realize these things, right?

To add what i said to Dodge, Buick is doing a changeover for their biggest and best selling CUV and the loss of the Verano is going to be big because it was easily their best selling car.

17 F-150s have discounts around here of up to 17k, but I would MUCH rather have an 18 RC with the FX4 package and the 5.0/10 speed.
