Is the Range Rover Sport the apex in arsehole wheels ?

You might find the situation simplified soon because Stellantis look doomed. They have some really strong brands (Jeep, Maserati, Alfa, Citroen) but appear to mismanaging all of them except Dodge.

Alfa Romeo has been in trouble since what seems ever, Lancia seems to have disappeared completely and as for FIAT if it wasn't for one single product, the 'new' 500, they would be in the dustbin of history. The Agnelli family and the Elkanns have always been bad news with coked up bastards the late Gianni Agnelli and the crazed Lapo Elkann in particular.

Sad to see really once magnificently innovative engineering from the likes of Citroen reduced to the present badged garbage. Lancia and Alfa Romeo too never made a really decent car after FIAT took them over.

And Nissan looking very fragile in the Renault/Mitsu/Nissan conglomerate. Not sure if Renault has the funds to bail them out this time.
Though they kind of deserve it. When they got into trouble last time, they had very good cars that they were struggling to sell. Now they have shit cars that they're selling a lot of, but struggling to profit on because they're so shit that no-one buys them for MSRP. (Though they're a strong brand in the UK for... reasons.)

Lancia has disappeared in the UK, their cars are sold as Chrysler. In Spain they're still fairly common.

Whereas the French and German Governments shovel cash into their car industries in complete contravention of EU State Aid rules they at least pretend they don’t… Whereas FIAT effectively had a direct line of finance from the Italian exchequer and was basically run as a family owned government department…

I thought the three Alfa SUVs were doing quite well TBF.

Very true regarding FIAT. The Red Brigades missed a trick with that dreadful old lizard look a like Agnelli. That man just oozed evil:

So evil he had his own son killed, allegedly: Eduardo Agnelli, The Martyr of his Belief

Not sure about that linky thing, so I turned this up Edoardo Agnelli - Wikipedia
which certainly casts doubts over the manner of his death

I hope you left a suitably rude note on the windscreen for the driver of the black car.

If your car is the black one, you really shouldn't be complaining about anyone else's parking

 

[pesh]

hard to tell what make the black car is, but if its not German you shouldn't be taking up 2 spaces.

Did one of those two cars manoeuvre in to a very tiny space though.

Well yes. But it's an estate car. And more to the point the car park was far from full.
