Geneva Motor Show 2016, Marchionne: “The hybrid Panda and connected … – The Daily

Visibly relaxed, although recovering from a plane trip that brought him during the night by the Set directly to Geneva , Sergio Marchionne has granted to cameras, notebooks and microphones, after the press conferences of the group’s brands to the Motor Swiss.

however, it seems not to have suffered much spirit, the time zone. And thus comes the lightning beaten with which the number one FCA has liquidated the race to new technologies, “we have all, the we will pull out at the appropriate time. Not like the other, announcing and then sell after five years. on the hybrid we are not able to sustain margins , for now, because it has several costs. As well as connectivity.

The Germans are ahead, it made no sense hurry up and launch a model that would trouble after 60 days. Quality is important. ” On the Six new originally planned for Alfa , has since had confirmation that two of these will come after 2018 .

the last bars Sergio Marchionne has reserved for the Formula One racing test in Barcelona have shown that the machine and there is competitive , then we hope to be in the front row at the first Grand Prix of the season in the Australia . However I do not trust the Mercedes , so far has been too cautious doing so many laps of practice and trying above all the ‘ reliability . But after the first qualifying we’ll know more. Idea? See the ‘ Alfa Romeo F1 , for history and DNA is its placement , perhaps aided by the Ferrari with engines. But it takes many money : Before fatemene do a little ‘with the new models and then in a few years we see … “
