More proof Stellantis found the right guy for the job.
Stellantis CEO Carlos Tavares recently said he s giving currently struggling legacy brands Alfa Romeo and Chrysler a full 10 years to turn themselves around. It won t be easy but far from impossible. As we still wait to hear about Chrysler s revival plan, Alfa Romeo s new CEO, Jean-Philippe Imparato, who formerly headed Peugeot, is quickly moving forward.
He previously made clear Alfa needs to be managed from Italy and it s been rumored (though not officially confirmed) that the Giorgio platform underpinning the Alfa Romeo Giulia and Stelvio will be retired. An all-new replacement architecture capable of supports plug-in hybrids and pure battery electrics is currently in development. Imparato is fully aware of Alfa s 110-year history and his latest idea sounds absolutely fantastic. Speaking to Australian outlet Motoring, he expressed his wish to revive some iconic nameplates.
