Alfa Romeo Junior | Everything you need to know about Alfa's first EV⚡️

Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары

Alfa Romeo's first EV has had a difficult birth. Just hours before the launch, a name change was forced upon it as 'Milano' was off the table. As the car isn't being made in Milan, that name is in fact illegal. So, with what we're assuming was a slightly frantic board meeting, the first EV was renamed 'Junior.'
In a weird turn of events, this difficult start has translated into a lot of press coverage which can only really be a good thing. So, let us walk you around this crossover SUV that has Alfa Romeo's future well and truly in its hands.

    People that are hating on this car are showing huge amounts of hypocrisy. Alfa just can't win. When they released the Giulia, which was beautiful and innovative and best in class, no one went out and bought it. The same thing happened with the Stelvio. People would say all the right things but no one bought it. Now that they are releasing a model which is part of the quickest growing segment to ensure their future, everyone is hating on that. I'm not sure what people expect from Alfa these days but it sure seems as though they will never be happy, no matter what Alfa does.

En même temps, je ne crois pas qu'elle trahi l'histoire d'Alfa Romeo même si elle partage la base technique des Peugeot et autres Jeep car les ingénieurs d'Alfa ont personnalisés la plate-forme commune ainsi que le moteur pure tech et c'est cela qui compte.

    The italian government is fighting against the so called "italian sounding" (non italian made products using italian naming to artificially suggest premiumness, noble origin, and higher price ) which is an abusive practice that costs billions to Italian companies each year. To keep the battle against false origin coherent, It make sense to stop Alfa Romeo/Stellantis, since "Milano" suggests milanese origin. The car might have the spirit and the feel of Alfa Romeo (I hope), it is not an 100% italian car.
