Still love it.

You missed though the clash between AR and Maserati in the lineup

True, but Maserati has always been a notch or two above the premium brands, and has never been close to a volume car maker.

So, I think AR suits better as a premium brand.

Then we'll have Ferrari, which of course need to stay where they are at.

I'm glad you like it. It would also be my pick in the segment.

And if it produced cars in volume, it'd be too sullied to sell as a boutique brand.

One interesting fact about Stellantis. Lancia,  which is only sold in Italy, and only with one model, sold more cars in in 2020 then Alfa Romeo did in all of Europe...

From the Stellantis site: a couple of interesting nuggets in a flea market random assemblage of also-ran brands.

Surely not Abarth.

How did Vauxhall get in there?

Ram? No, that's going to be one of their major money makers forever. Just unfortunate its not still Dodge Trucks.
Maybe we need to start off small. I mean, they don't let you fuck the glumpers at Glumpees without a level 4 FuckPass, do they?

Yup I'd axe the brand - not the product, which should be rolled back to Dodge.

Abarth --> Fiat.
Vauxhall died & GM flogged it off to Peugeot, which is also on my chop list. But I know the French government would happily rape its few remaining taxpayers to keep the Peugeot corpse walking.
