The recent Fiat Chrysler Automobiles Capital Markets Day featured a blizzard of news about new models, with the group’s major brands revealing their five-year plans for the benefit of financial analysts.
Having covered the event, it was hard to take in all the announcements at once. Huge model reveals were made almost in passing, and much of the news left you wanting for more information. Having had time to digest it all, here are the seven new models that most excited and intrigued me.
They aren’t necessarily the most significant cars announced at the event – just the ones that I’m excited to hear more about. Let us know which cars intrigued or excited you in the comments section.
FCA Group to focus on most profitable models and brands
Earlier this year Autocar exclusively reported that Alfa Romeo was developing a high-performance Giulia coupé. And we were right – except it won’t be called the Giulia coupé.
Instead, the firm has dipped into its rich history and dusted off the GTV nameplate. It’s a nice touch, and demonstrates how, even as Alfa expands through large SUVs and Chinese-only long wheelbase cars, it can do so by capitalising on its past.

I ve had 3 Fiats and I m on
I ve had 3 Fiats and I m on my 5th Alfa, but nothing here excites me - Lancia reduceed to one Italian only model, Fiat reduced to making the Panda and 500 variants (some of which use an 11 year old platform, including the Giardineria), Alfa still making the Corsunto (or is it the Puntorsa ?) in drag Mito, the Giulia and Stelvio may drive well but the styling is awful and you cant have a manual, SUV this, SUV that.
XXXX just went POP.

Tail wagging the dog....
It appears the Amewrican market is dominating FCA plans and poor old Italy and the EU are being ignored.
I hope I am wrong.

Profits...
Damn sight more profit in a Dodge Ram at $25k than a 500L at £25k pal, seems like a good business move to me.

Are they axing the 124? It was only launched!
What happened to the 'Heart and Head' Fiat plan of a couple of years ago? Fiat showrooms will have emotional cars on one side like the 124 and 500, and rational cars on the other like the Panda and Tipo?
