@Markus Alfa doesn’t need halo cars because it has a good brand image. Alfa’s problem is that the Italians don’t know how to sell cars, the same goes for the British, and unlike the Americans/french/germans who are very aggressive in terms of marketing and discounts, especially for companies.
Although Fiat is trying to save sales by launching the Tipo sedan in many markets in Europe, Poland is being ignored.
Does it unnecessary for a domestic manufacturer? The results are not good.
The STLA brand meeting must be a tearful affair.
I would expect Alfa to be at the level of the Cupra. Maserati must surpass Ferrari. Opel sales must be close Peugeot. Basic targets for the 12 months. No coffee.
Cupra is much more aggressive than Alfa Romeo when it comes to sales, the German brands are very aggressive commercially. I know that Cupra is Spanish but in practice it is a German brand.
Yes, big players like VW and Toyota pre-finance many of cars.
For STLA, direct sales can be a problem. If dealer doesn’t have space, his motivation decreases. Salesperson isn’t attractive. Vinfast is canceling direct sales because sales are very low. Brand needs dealer support. Of course, price and quality level is question.
Cupra gives heavy discounts (at least in Germany) and has already way more models than Alfa Romeo (sadly). Alfa is still the more desirable brand, Cupras are overstyled and vulgar. But people seem to like that. I fear they won‘t age well, though.
I really wonder why Stellantis launched that new DS Model which will flop hard again instead of using that money for an Alfa or Maserati model that could be sold worldwide and is desperately needed. I was always against VW buying Alfa, but now I wonder what they would have done with them. I‘m very happy that Alfa launched the beautiful Giulia and the Stelvio, but then… they didn‘t launch the probably finished Giulia Coupé and the 6C. They would not bring volume, but Alfa needs halo cars to sell the rest of the line up.
