- The new corporate name for the Fiat-Chrysler/PSA merger. The coalition of losers? 13 different brands. Rationalisation of brands and products imminent I would expect!

I had the same thought, Esp. But purchasers of commodity cars won’t really care, and I suspect Ferrari and Maserati are strong enough for it not to matter.

The name is rooted in stello - to brighten with stars apparently. So, my favourite, marketing and sales people will have us believe.
HQ to be located in Amsterdam. Looks a bit odd considering none of the companies merged are Dutch.

>> and I suspect Ferrari .... are strong enough for it not to matter.
FCA does not own Ferrari. When the merger happened, the Agnelli family did not include Ferrari so the Agnellis, Piero Ferrari have shares in it and then the rest are .anybody'. I think.

So, Renault lost 2 billion Euros in the first half of 2020, whilst their alliance partner Nissan lost over 4 billion! (Just think for a moment: how can you lose that much money?! They can’t be selling a thing at a cent of profit).
Think I’d rather take my chances with the coalition of losers. Presumably nobody will ever touch Renault because of the French state involvement. The French government have extended a 5 billion loan to Renault...
They shoot horses don’t they..?!

Looking at the reports 1-2 billion/quarter looks to be the norm across all the big, global manufacturers.
