Alfa Romeo will ring the bell at the Geneva Motor Show

El FCA Group he is taking things slowly, very calmly. Maserati is starting a new path and soon we will meet the new Alfieri. On the other hand we have Alfa Romeo, the brand that was to restore prestige to the Italian-American consortium. However, with a MiTo gone from the map and a Juliet that can no longer withstand the attacks of their rivals, they need new material.

Apparently, this new model will arrive as soon as in the next Geneva Motor Show. Today, the segment of all the way it is the only one that can guarantee a minimum level of sales (and economic performance) in the market. Taking into account, in general terms, how well the Stelvio, it would not be unreasonable that they could be thinking of following this path.

Rumors suggest that we will see a Baby Stelvio, or not?

In statements by the person in charge of Public Relations of Alfa Romeo and Maserati for FCA America, the brand will present a new model in Geneva. Apparently, we will be facing something completely new that will demonstrate the luxury y performance level Italians. However, he has not given more information, pointing to next March 5 for more details.

Taking these words into account, we could follow four hypotheses. First: the MiTo has disappeared from the market and instead of being replaced by an urban could mutate to the segment B SUV. Second: a few days ago we reported that the Juliet I will receive a new one soon makeover with which to endure in the market. Third, that Alfa Romeo be preparing a C-SUV below the Stelvio with which to stand up to the Audi Q3, BMW X1 and Mercedes-Benz GLC. And fourth, that we are before a concept high-flying as a showcase model.

If we think with a cool head, any of the four options is valid, but the third seems more real to us. The reason is simple: the FCA Group it needs to grow and to do so it must launch models on the market that do not entail a high development cost. In the case of the MiTo and Giulietta they have to start from scratch, but in the case of the Baby Stelvio no, well the platform Giorgio It is new and only minor tweaks need to be done.

If we think of the high-flying concept, hopefully we are facing the new version of the 8C they promised in their new industrial plan. However, whatever it is, the Geneva Motor Show will open its doors very soon and there, we will know everything. That, of course, if there are (which will be) leaks ahead of time.
