Jednostavno je takav talas na tržištu da su 147 i 159 popularni polovnjaci. Nije to nešto što natrči na mesec dana pa prođe, duže to traje.
Pre par godina je taj talas bio sa MeganeII i clio-m.
Mi smo komentarisali za eru Megane-a i eru 147. Clio i 159 su u paket aranžmanu sa pomenutima, jedino se može raspravljati ko je u tom paketu dominantniji.

Alfa relaunch

Marchionne said his new strategy to turn around Fiat's money-losing operations in Europe will focus on a relaunch of Alfa Romeo. The sporty brand is a central pillar of the plan to return Fiat's European operations to profitability in 2015-2016 by moving upscale, he said.

Teams of designers and engineers are working "disguised" in various Italian premises to prepare new Alfa models, Marchionne said. These models "will change the perception of the brand and take it to absolute excellence," he said, adding that future Alfa models would no longer share engines with Fiat models.

Selling Alfa Romeo to a competitor was out of the question. Volkswagen has repeatedly expressed an interest in the unit. "They can go dream about it," Marchionne said.

Just as Chrysler's Jeep brand is sold globally but its DNA is authentically American, "Alfa should be authentically Italian," he said. "It will indeed remain at home."

Marchionne is betting on the Alfa brand because he believes it can deliver the global profile that the mass-market Fiat brand cannot and far greater sales volumes than top-end Maseratis, but the strategy has so far been met with skepticism. Fiat acquired the Alfa brand in 1986 and has since failed to revive it despite repeated attempts.
