The best part of $70k for an unattractive transportation blob from a questionable company.......who in their right mind is this thing aimed at?!?!??! I mean the Lexus NX and Porsche Macan exist, why would anyone buy one of these!??!

That and there's tons of the Dodge Hornet PHEV's holding down dealer lots

Being as they are built side by side in the same Italian factory, might as well see what those dealers can do for you (if you really want an expensive, unreliable, and small SUV with likely little to no resale value)

LOL...  fair enough.  I mean, time will tell if it's as unreliable as everyone expects it to be... BUT...  the Hornet (and presumably the Toe-nail) drives incredibly well.  I went in very skeptical before the first drive event for the Hornet but came away very impressed.  The handling is especially well dialled in.  Think Mazda CX-30 with more personality.

Fair, and I agree with you that they drive well, but the average compact premium crossover buyer literally does not give a flying fart about how it drives. Pricing, interior, exterior, and features. That's where it ends. And I've learned the hard way that you can't *give away* a contemporary Alfa product these days... and the same seems to reflect on the Hornet.

This is so unfortunate. Stellantis would’ve been better off with a freshened up Dodge Journey in an overall mediocre package sold at huge discounts. Deep price cuts must be coming soon to offload what’s piling up on dealers lots.
