JD Power metric is baseless. They don’t tell us how they evaluate cars and brands, we just have to “trust” their work. Right.

Italian stereotypes are CONSTANTLY brought up whenever there is discussion of Alfas or other Italian cars.

Nothing screams “OK Boomer” like outdated reliability jokes about Italian OEMs.

You really don’t even know what you’re talking about. 

They actually have a lot going on in that area: every platform they have released since 2016 allows for a plug-in powertrain, they have started to invest a portion of the $5 billion they have allocated to update their tooling to build EVs in Italy. The next gen Fiat 500 is EV only. Maserati will be EV/Hybrid only.…

I think Alfa would have been better off making a few manual prototypes for the dealers, use the prototypes to attract customers by saying a manual 4C “exists,” and then profit by selling the regular DCT 4Cs because the customer would more than likely bitch-out.

What the fuck are you driving? 

That’s a wannabe perspective or perhaps the perspective of those who were born or married into wealth. Most rich people are too busy to be bothered by such bullshit.

Tesla is a tinker toy in comparison to this. 

Never mind that Mia is a Polanksi apologist...

Italians aren’t white. 

Peter Chiarelli is an Italian man, Italians aren’t white. 

Hey Rich, why don’t you go fuck yourself? 

...with global demand for cars waning? Simon says, not a chance pal. 

Yeah it is crazy. Different tech? You mean end to end learning? A technique that has been shown to give a marginal solution with no safety guarantees? More data does not make for a better driving algorithm if the fundamentals are flawed.
